Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Problems with water coming in a corner of the basement everytime a heavy rain happened would have these homeowners putting towels down, running fans, anything to dry it up until it would happen next time.  

Brett & Christel had enough with this problem and wanted it solved once and for all.  They had called us a couple of times for an appointment to address the problems with water.  Getting the pre-appointment information gave them a lot to think about and consider to do this properly and can be a costly repair on top of the addition plans to make a livable space in the basement. 

When we inspected the basement, our System Design Specialist noticed signifigant foundation movement.  About 2" of the block walls had bowed inward.  Very possibly a cause to some of the water problems they have had.  

What causes a foundation to crack is due to moisture and frost that interact with the soil around your home which expands.  That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing and tipping.

Water seepage through walls, floor/wall joint is the same, hydrostatic pressure.  Floor and wall water seepage is quite common.

Our solution to solve our customers water and foundation problems involved installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump Pump and PowerBrace Foundation System. 

This Blue Earth home had moisture issues and the homeowners noticed that the foundation walls were buckling. The homeowners had been doing research on options on how to fix the problem. We were happy when they stopped by our office to talk about the problem and we set them up with a FREE inspection and estimate.

Our System Design Specialist Ryan went to evaluate the situation. Together they concluded a perimeter drain tile system, new sump pump system and foundation support was needed to permanently protect their home.

WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the foundation to keep ground water from seeping through the floor and work with a new SuperSump Pump System to discharge water out of the basement.  PowerBrace zinc coated beams were installed on the block foundation walls to prevent further wall buckling.  

Myrna and Don are so happy with their basement makeover, where the Production Team installed clean space in order to create a solid barrier between moisture and the homeowners basement.

Christopher & Catherine had some serious problems with their basement. You will see the cracks in the walls that needed repairing. Also, the windows needed replacing. The damp basement got the TLC it needed from us with new Everlast windows, wall crack repair, a WaterGuard drainage system, CleanSpace system, & SuperSump pump. Together these products and our hard-working production crew made this basement safe again!

This New Ulm home got a total makeover, including the CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, which will prevent moisture from entering the home through the foundation.
