Homeowners in Richfield, Minnesota wanted the option of adding additional storage space in their basement, but needed an egress window to make that happen. They worked with System Design Specialist Ryan Brenner to design a space that they can transform into a bedroom when they are ready. Crew Leader Ben Heldt and his crew then worked to make this vision become a reality!
The Richfield MN resident asked for a free estimate for his basement water problems. His partially finished space had water coming in during heavy rains and snowmelt in the Spring. Without waterproofing, he was worried about future damage. Our Design Specialist Ronald went to assess the situation. It was determined that a complete waterproofing system was needed to prevent further water problems. We began with the WaterGuard drainage system, designed to effectively solve basement water issues without clogging. WaterGuard collects water at the basement perimeter and safely drains it away. Next, we installed the CleanSpace wall system to prevent water vapor from entering walls and direct wall leaks into the WaterGuard. Following that, we installed the SuperSump and UltraSump Sump System to ensure the basement stays dry even in heavy rains. To complete the project, we added a buried discharge line and IceGuard. If you have any questions about our products that keep your basement dry and safe, please give our office a call or fill out the request for a free estimate on our website!
