Lonsdale, MN Damp Basement Waterproofing
Challenge

Solution
In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he used our advanced tools to test the humidity levels in the home and determined the areas that needed waterproofing. He also explained how hydrostatic pressure is one of the most common causes of a wet basement. Hydrostatic pressure is pressure exerted by a liquid due to the force of gravity. When it rains, water pools around the home. Because it has nowhere else to go, it moves through the soil and weak points in the foundation, entering the home. After explaining this reporting his findings to the homeowner, highlighting the importance of early action against basement water leaks. Early action reduces the risk of basement flooding, mold growth, and structural damage. To waterproof the basement, Ryan recommended installing WaterGuard, our interior drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump system, and CleanSpace, our vapor wall liner that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project because of our warranties.
In about a month, our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began the installation by attaching CleanSpace to the foundation using drilled-in fasteners to ensure it remains in place. Then, the crew drilled along the edges of the floor and added gravel. Once this is done, WaterGuard is added on top. Once the waterproofing solutions are connected, the crew restores the flooring. The crew successfully installed 54ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace.
