Professional Foundation Repair Contractor in Wahpeton, ND

A homeowner in Wahpeton, ND, noticed several water stains throughout their basement. Unsure where the water was coming from, the homeowner knew they needed an expert to investigate. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner looks on online referral sites to find the best waterproofing company near them. Only one company caught their attention, American Waterworks, so they went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was finalized, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ian, to the home to start the investigation. Ian arrived at the home and began his detailed walk-through of the basement. Following his inspection, Ian determined the western basement wall was where the water was sneaking in. Ian told the homeowner of his findings and recommended a solution that would solve their water intrusion issues. Wanting the issues resolved for good, the homeowner agreed with Ian's recommendations. Ian passed the plans along to the office to be approved. Once they were approved, they were sent to our Foreman, Roel, and his crew to start the project. Roel and his crew traveled to the home and began the waterproofing project. First, Roel and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard along the western wall. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the TripleSafe to the new WaterGuard system. Once all the products were installed, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was delighted to know their basement is properly waterproofed.

Chad, from Wahpeton, ND, gave our office a call when he wanted a second opinion on the estimate for waterproofing a section of his basement. Chad was interested in renovating the space but wanted to get the leakage under control before renovations began. When Chad called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. Our Fargo-based Design Specialist, Ian, went out to Chad's home to do a thorough inspection of the issue and make recommendations about how we could best help Chad moving forward. Once he finished his walkthrough, Ian recommended several solutions for the issue. First, he wanted to install our CleanSpace vapor barrier to collect any water entering the basement through cracks in the foundation or leaky window wells. Next, he wanted to use our WaterGuard drainage system to collect the water flowing down the wall barrier. This drain sits below the concrete slab of the floor, but atop the footing of the foundation to keep the system from clogging. Finally, Ian wanted to give the excess water the appropriate place to be discarded, so he recommended Chad invest in our SuperSump Plus sump pump, an ideal system for keeping the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in heavier times of water intrusion. Chad agreed with Ian's recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his crew began their installation process by adding our CleanSpace vapor barrier to the problem walls, followed by installing the WaterGuard drainage system on the floor beneath the walls that received the CleanSapce. The crew finished by installing the SuperSump Plus to collect the excess water. When the project was completed, Chad was thrilled with the work we had done and was excited to begin further renovations to improve his basement!
