Damp Basement Gets a Solution in Lino Lakes, MN

A Lino Lakes, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. The downstairs bedroom had been taking on water for some time, leading to overly saturated carpets, musty odors, and more. The homeowner was unsure of who offered interior waterproofing MN, but quickly found our website and signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, was headed out to the home. When Nick arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the bedroom to see how bad the problem was. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Nick recommended our CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the basement. This innovative product works to direct intruding water from the wall down and into a perimeter drain, our WaterGuard. This French drain gets installed below the floor of the basement, but atop the footing of the foundation to keep it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog, leading to a flooded basement. The homeowner was thrilled with Nick's recommendations and the two worked together to find the best day for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team installed 24 ft of our CleanSpace and WaterGuard, successfully restoring our customer's trust and confidence in their home! 

Leaky Basement Fixed in Circle Pines, MN

A homeowner from Circle Pines, MN, faced a unique basement issue. The basement would be subject to leaky walls and standing water each time it rained. The homeowner was worried about what water damage could do to the property's value, so he decided to look into MN basement waterproofing. When he found our website, he was impressed with other jobs we had done in the area and decided to claim his FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Jesse W, headed out to the home several weeks later. After performing a thorough inspection of the home, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Jesse began by recommending our WaterGuard drain system. This unique French drain gets installed below the floor of the basement but atop the footing of the foundation. This placement keeps it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to catch water entering the space through holes and cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. While performing his inspection, Jesse noticed that the basement lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump system, a reliable yet economical choice for ridding your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner was thrilled with Jesse's recommendation and signed for the project on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Jorge M, and his team successfully installed 28ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump in the space. Now, our customer can enjoy all the perks of a dry basement!

Windows Replaced in Circle Pines, MN

Tom and Norma, from Circle Pines, MN, got in contact with us when they began to notice unwanted water in the basement of their home. They didn't want to leave the issue unresolved for fear of further damage so they gave us a call. We set them up with our FREE estimate, entitling them to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was booked, our Design Specialist, Michel, went out to the property to do his walkthrough. Once completed, he informed the homeowners that the water entering their basement was because of faulty windows and wells. He recommended that they invest in our EverLast basement windows, as well are our EverLast SunHouse Window Wells. He explained that, together, this pair would make the basement more energy efficient, add more natural light, and the SunHouse would keep unwanted water out of the space. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. Our Production crew ended up installing 2 windows with SunHouses. When the job was completed, Tom and Norma were happy to know that their basement was now more energy-efficient and safe from unwanted water!

Egress Window Installation in Circle Pines, MN

A couple from Lexington, MN got in touch with us when they began to have thoughts of finishing their basement in addition to other projects being done around the house. When they called in, we set them up with our FREE estimate, which entitled them to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists. A member of our Design Specialist team, Ryan, went out to the home to do his walkthrough. When he finished, he had several recommendations for the couple. He recommended the couple think about installing our Egress window to address building codes requiring a point of exit in finished basements. He explained that when paired with our RockWell, a piece of rigid construction, the pair offers an attractive alternative to uglier window wells while still delivering a high degree of safety for the homeowners. The couple agreed and construction began shortly after. 

Our crew led by our Foreman, Gabriel, installed two RockWell egress windows throughout their basement. Once the job was completed, the homeowners were happy to have peace of mind knowing that they could finish their basement without worries of safety hazards. 

Wet Basement in Cottage Grove, MN

Eric S. in Cottage Grove, MN was experiencing water seeping through a wall in his basement during heavy rains. It had started to cause damage to his property, so he knew it was time to have a professional look at it. While researching waterproofing contractors, he found American Waterworks. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to give him a FREE estimate and to provide a solution. Eric was pleased with the waterproofing plan that Chad developed, so a date for the installation was set. 

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the wall that had water seeping in. The WaterGuard drains water to the newly installed SuperSump sump pump, and it is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Eric now has peace of mind that water in his basement is no longer a concern. He is glad he chose a long-term solution for his home.
