Leaky Basement Solved in Eden Prairie, MN

An Eden Prairie, MN, homeowner was getting sick of dealing with her basement. Each time it rained she noticed water coming up through the floor, leaving a puddle of standing water. Nervous that water intrusion could sink her home value, or lead to even bigger problems, she took to the internet and searched for basement repair near me. She found a variety of companies, but was impressed with American Waterworks and our years in business, reviews, and similar projects. She reached out and claimed her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Foreman, Ryan K, was headed to the home to inspect the basement.

Ryan completed a comprehensive inspection and evaluation of the space, making note of the problem wall in question. When he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations. He began by addressing the water coming up through the floor. He wanted to address this by using our WaterGuard below-floor basement floor drainage system. This award-winning system is discreet, resting on the footing of the foundation, below the floor of the basement. It works to trap water entering, giving it a channel to flow freely to an external disposal site. Next, Ryan noted a few areas on the basement walls where water had trickled in. For this issue, he recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier has anti-microbial protection built in, making it ideal for addressing leaky walls. It gets applied directly to the basement walls, and guides water downward and into the WaterGuard to be carried out and away from the basement. Finally, Ryan noted that all the water entering the space had nowhere to go, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an effective yet more economical choice for disposing of unwanted basement water. The homeowner liked the sound of Ryan's plan, and decided to move forward with the project. 

A month later, our Foreman, Gabriel, and his team were set to begin the installation. Once the project had been completed, our customer was thrilled to know that her water worries were behind her.
