American Waterworks Case Studies: Wet Basement in Scandia, MN Waterproofed

Challenge

Kara B. in Scandia, MN had water leaking into her basement where she stored her personal belongings. Some of her property had been ruined from water damage and she was tired of dealing with a big mess after each rain. She contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our waterproofing system.

Solution

We were able to successfully waterproof Kara's basement by installing our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of her basement and we installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump because it is backed by three layers of protection. Water now drains through the WaterGuard into the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Her basement is now a dry, healthier space.
