This couple in Forest Lake had quite the sump pump system originally. The original system was simply an open hole in the ground, with a low-quality retail sump that just sat right in the hole. Needless to say, it didn't solve the problem.
The new system that Ben and his team installed is completely sealed, and the water is able to get to the sump and out of the house without any leaks. And, as an added bonus, it looks a whole lot better too!

Job Stories From Washington County, MN
No More Water in this Basement in Lake Elmo, MN
These Lake Elmo homeowners contacted us that they were having water intrusion during heavy rains. They also had some old wooden framed windows that were not very efficient. Our Design Specialist Ron was sent out to see where the water was getting in and how we could stop it.
After an inspection, Ron was able to determine that our WaterGuard Drain System along with CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump and Everlast Windows would be the best way to keep their basement dry.
We also buried the discharge line and installed the IceGuard so there is no maintenance to worry about for the homeowners besides the annual check by our service techs.
Finishing a Partial System in Lake Elmo, MN
These homeowners started with water intrusion in just one part of their basement back in 2015. We installed our WaterGuard System on part of their basement as they only had water issues in one section. A few years later they noticed the same water problems on the other side of the basement so they reached out to have the system extended around the perimeter of the entire basement.
Now with the whole basement protected, they can rest assured they are done with wet basement clean up!
Humidity Problems in Afton, MN
This homeowner in Afton, MN reached out to us after struggling with high humidity in his basement that led to unpleasant odors and poor air quality throughout the home. He had tried tackling the problem himself with three store-bought dehumidifiers, but despite running constantly, they never managed to keep up with the moisture.
After installing our SaniDry Dehumidifier, the difference was immediate. The SaniDry system efficiently keeps humidity at the ideal level, helping the homeowner enjoy a fresher, healthier home environment. Not only did the musty smells disappear, but the system also runs far more efficiently, keeping energy bills lower and the basement comfortably dry year-round.
Bowing Baasement Wall Repair in Afton, MN
A homeowner in Afton, MN contacted us after noticing that the foundation walls in their basement were beginning to bow inward. Over time, the pressure from the surrounding soil had caused visible cracks and displacement, raising concerns about the long-term structural stability of the home.
After a thorough inspection, our team determined that the best solution was to install our PowerBrace Wall Repair System. The PowerBraces are made of strong, zinc-plated steel beams that are custom-fit to the basement walls and secured to the floor joists above. This system not only stabilizes the existing walls immediately but also allows for gradual, controlled adjustment over time, potentially straightening the walls back to their original position.
With the PowerBrace system in place, this homeowner can have peace of mind knowing their foundation is permanently stabilized, and the integrity of their home is protected for years to come.
