Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench to install our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain. This system is designed as an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls and prevents water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is designed as a wall protectant that prevents mold and humidity and saves money on energy costs.

A homeowner in Chanhassen, MN, wanted to give their crawl space a proper renovation. Knowing it would be best to let a professional handle it, the homeowner looked for the company best fit. After coming across our social media, the homeowner saw the impressive before and afters we have completed. The homeowner contacted our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate details were set, we sent out one of our Design Specialist, Ryan, to investigate the status of the crawl space. Once he completed his investigation, Ryan recommended a solution that would complete all their wants and needs. After considering their options, the homeowner decided to go with one of Ryan's solutions. Ryan sent the solution to the crew and they began preparations. 

Our Foreman, Brandon, and his crew arrived at the home and began the project. First, the crew removed all the debris and existing insulation from the crawl space. Then, the injected sprayfoam in the joist pockets in the crawl space. Once the area was clear, the crew could lay the Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. After the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew installed CleanSpace on the crawl space walls and floor. To complete the job, the crew installed Foamax on the outside of the crawl space walls.
