American Waterworks Case Studies: Basement in Coon Valley, WI Gets Waterproofed

Friday, July 20th, 2018 by Madison Rudesill

Wet basement prior to waterproofing.
Sump pump, WaterGuard and CleanSpace have been installed in the basement.
The discharge line was installed under the soil in the yard. This where the water exits the home.
The concrete has been replace and the basement is completely waterproofed.

Challenge

Regina C. in Coon Valley, WI contacted us because the walls in her basement were made from old rock, and they had water leaking through them. It was not a finished basement and they did not intend on ever finishing it, but they wanted to stop the walls from leaking. Our Design Specialist, Mike Radosevich, went to her home to inspect her basement, develop the best solution for her home and provide her with a FREE estimate. She was confident in our products and our company because she had a friend that had a great experience with us, so she scheduled the installation.

Solution

Our production team installed our waterproofing system by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. They also installed a SuperSump sump pump in the corner. Then, they filled back the gaps with rock before replacing the concrete. Lastly, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls to protect the space from moisture and potential mold growth. Her basement is now a dry, clean and healthier space. She is very glad she invested in the protection of her home!
