Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Mankato, MN, homeowner was growing frustrated over his back utility room. Each time the area got rain, the homeowner was faced with pooling water near the baseboard of the room. Not wanting the issue to continue, potentially damaging appliances, the homeowner decided to search for MN waterproofing companies. When he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Dylan completed his inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations to the homeowner. Dylan explained that because the water seemed to be entering through cracks and holes near the floor, he was recommending our WaterGuard. He explained that WaterGuard is a French drain designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. He went on to say that Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. Dylan finished by saying that the WaterGuard would be attached to the homeowner's existing sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Juan B, and his team ended up installing 20ft of WaterGuard throughout the space. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his appliances are safe from water intrusion!

A homeowner from Mankato, MN, was growing increasingly frustrated with her outdated sump pump. Each time it rained, the sump pump had trouble keeping up with the amount of water entering the home, which led to water overflowing the sump, leaving excess water to stand on the basement floor. The homeowner was concerned about what this could mean for her basement, so she began to look for interior waterproofing MN. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Nate concluded his inspection of the basement, he recommended that the homeowner upgrade her old sump pump. Nate wanted to specifically use our SuperSump sump pump. Nate explained that the SuperSump is an effective and more economical solution to keep the basement dry. It's 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. The homeowner was thrilled that Nate had provided a fix for her basement and scheduled the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo, and his team were able to place the SuperSump without any issues. Now our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her sump pump was now equipped to handle large influxes of water.

A homeowner from Mankato, MN, got in touch with us when he noticed that his old sump system was beginning to fail. The system would run day and night during times of heavy water intrusion, and when they needed the system most, it would become overwhelmed with the onslaught of water, leaving a mess for the homeowners to deal with. He decided to find a sump pump repair company near Mankato, MN, and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home. 

After Dylan concluded his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he would recommend replacing the old system with our SuperSump plus sump system, an affordable yet effective way to rid your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner was impressed with our system and signed on for the job. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team placed the new system in the home. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing his sump system is ready for the melt of spring! 

Homeowners James and Rachel D. of Mankato, MN had water leaking through the cracks of their foundation walls, causing them to worry about water damage and the stability of their home. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared. Jared went to James and Rachel's house, inspected their problems, and designed a solution that worked for them and their budget. They were confident in Jared's proposal and were comfortable with our products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, Juan and his crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and humidity and serves as an extra wall protectant while saving money on energy bills. Lastly, our team dug holes outside of the home beyond the foundation and inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home. On the ends of the rod in the soil, our team installed an anchor plate, which holds the rod in place in the soil. Inside the basement, our team installed a GeoLock Channel Anchor on each rod to stabilize the wall. The combination of our production crew, the anchor plates, rods, and wall anchors work together to straighten the wall back into its original position. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open floor gaps with pea gravel and river rock and applied new concrete over them. 

James and Rachel had a great experience with our team and their peace of mind is restored!
