Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A new homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, went down to her basement after a particularly hard rain and was shocked to notice that she had standing water in several parts of her basement. Frazzled by her discovery, she quickly took to the internet to search for Minneapolis basement waterproofing. After a few hours of combing through different websites, she landed on our page. She was thoroughly impressed by our basement waterproofing before and after images and decided to sign up for our FREE estimates. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. After conducting his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his findings. Derek wanted to use several of our products to complement each other and most importantly, to keep water off the basement floor. First, Derek recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier be installed on the leaky walls. Derek explained that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that gets applied directly to unfinished basement walls, and works to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, which, in this case, Derek wanted to be our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor slab but on top of the foundation footing, keeping it out of the "mud zone" where similar drains tend to clog. Because the CleanSpace runs into the WaterGuard, it collects water entering from the wall, and small porous cracks or holes in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site. Derek noticed the lack of drainage from the basement itself and urged the homeowner to add one because of the large amount of water entering the space. Derek recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an effective and economical solution. This sump is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. Derek went on to say that the SuperSump can be installed with the optional UltraSump battery backup, which is designed to provide reliable, high-volume pumping capability when the electrical grid goes down. After Derek and the homeowner discussed options, she was thrilled to know that our solution would keep her basement dry and healthy for years to come and decided to schedule the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kiko P, led his team through the installation with a breeze. When they finished, they installed 14ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump Sump Pump, 1 UltraSump battery backup, and 24 ft of CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her largest investment knowing that it is properly protected from unwanted water!

A homeowner from Lake City, MN, had noticed her basement walls were leaking after heavy rain in the area. She was concerned about what leaking walls could mean for her house, so she immediately began to search for 'interior basement waterproofing near me' and quickly found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Upon his arrival, Darin got right to work assessing the space. Once he finished, he was ready to meet with the homeowner to deliver recommendations. Darin began by saying that the homeowner did the right thing by seeking a professional's help. He explained that water intrusion issues are often simpler to tackle when they're first noticed versus years down the road. Darin wanted a comprehensive system for this basement to ensure that unwanted water was a thing of the past. First, he recommended the installation of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto unfinished basement walls, acting to catch water entering through small cracks and holes in the foundation, directing it downward and into our WaterGuard system. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to trap water entering from the CleanSpace, as well as any water coming up through holes in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the appropriate disposal site. Darin noted that the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, so he recommended our SuperSump Plus, an effective yet economical decision for combating unwanted water. The homeowner loved the idea of our products working together to keep the basement dry and signed on the spot. 

When the day of the installation eventually rolled around, our Foreman, Lane S, and his team arrived bright and early to complete the project. In the end, they successfully installed 95ft of WaterGuard, 79ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump Plus sump pump.
