Before	After

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, realized that it was taking a long time for his home to heat up so he decided to look further into it. He learned that it was a possible issue with his crawl space as a poorly insulated crawl space can cause the pipes in the home to take a longer time to heat up. The homeowner then decided to look for crawl space repair in the area and found our website and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialist arrived at the home. During his inspection, he noticed that the crawl space was filled with dirt and faced water damage. He explained to the homeowner that high moisture levels in the crawl space reduce the efficiency of the home and can attract unwanted pests. Our Design Specialist then recommended our CleanSpace, a wall vapor barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls, and our SmartDrain, a sump pump designed for crawl spaces. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jesus C., and his crew arrived at the home. They covered the walls and flooring with CleanSpace and installed SmartDrain in the corner of the crawlspace. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Leaking Basement in Shoreview, MN Waterproofed

Before	After

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, noticed multiple issues with his basement, such as weeping walls, standing water and efflorescence, a white residue caused by salt deposits left behind from evaporated water leaks. Worried those issues would lead to permanent damage to his home, he decided to search for "basement waterproofing near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a damp basement is a failed footing drain. When this becomes clogged and fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the wall, between the footing and the wall, or under the footing. During Daniel's inspection, he noticed that the current sump pump was out of date and kept it in mind when he designed a proposal for the homeowner. Daniel recommended our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system that effectively collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that stops water vapor from permeating the walls, IceGuard, our discharge line system that will not freeze unlike traditional discharge lines, and Zoeller M53 pump that is capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Field Supervisor, Cole B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by attaching 74ft of the CleanSpace vapor wall barrier to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 74ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump system. They also installed 1 IceGuard before replacing the pump with our Zoeller M53. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing his basement will remain dry all year long! Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate with one of our experts!
