Preventing Driveway Cracks in Des Moines, IA
It's important to have a good sealant to prevent cracks in concrete. For this customer, we applied NexusPro silicone-based sealant to fill and seal cracks and control joints. Unlike traditional polyurethane sealants, NexusPro is specially designed to resist UV rays, ensuring that it remains durable and doesn't crack, bubble, or dry over time. Additionally, NexusPro has a significantly shorter drying time compared to other urethane-based caulking products. Its long-lasting properties have been proven to outperform other sealants, providing reliable protection for your driveway.
Sump Pump Installation in Des Moines, IA
In the case of this customer's basement, which experienced water intrusion in multiple areas and lacked a sump pump, we implemented a comprehensive solution consisting of WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a sump pump.
WaterGuard is a specialized waterproofing system designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint. Its discreet installation ensures minimal disruption to the basement's aesthetics. By effectively collecting and redirecting water to the sump pump, WaterGuard helps prevent flooding and water damage, providing a reliable defense against moisture-related issues.
CleanSpace, on the other hand, serves as a highly effective vapor barrier. By sealing off the basement walls and floor from the surrounding soil, CleanSpace prevents the evaporation of ground moisture into the basement air. This barrier helps eliminate the conditions necessary for mold and mildew growth, ensuring a clean and healthy environment while also protecting the basement's structural integrity.
The addition of a sump pump is a crucial component of the solution. Sump pumps are essential for removing water from basements and crawl spaces, preventing flooding and water seepage. By automatically activating when water reaches a certain level in the sump pit, the sump pump efficiently pumps out the water, keeping the basement dry and safeguarding the foundation, walls, and possessions stored within the space.
The importance of sump pumps extends beyond immediate water removal. They also contribute to preventing mold and mildew growth, reducing the risk of long-term structural damage, and protecting against basement flooding. Furthermore, having a sump pump installed may fulfill insurance requirements for flood coverage or qualify homeowners for lower premiums, underscoring their significance in mitigating water-related risks and maintaining a secure property.
By incorporating WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and a sump pump, we provided the customer with a comprehensive solution that effectively addresses their water intrusion issues, ensures the basement is presentable, and offers the peace of mind they sought in protecting their investment.
Improving Indoor Air Quality in Des Moines, IA
This homeowner's daughter and grandson have been living in her basement. Recently, the family was having problems with water getting in the basement, as well as bad air quality, which lead to allergies. The homeowner was concerned about her grandson's allergies, so she decided to schedule her annual maintenance with us urgently.
We sent Service Technician Austin Dermody to inspect the problem and come up with a solution that fits the homeowner's basement. He found that the high humidity along with poor circulation was causing the homeowner's grandson to have allergy problems indoors. Austin also discovered that the sump pump was 20 years old, and needed to be replaced. The homeowner was worried as the financial burden of replacing a sump pump was expensive, however with our help, we were able to finance her repairs so that her quality of life and her family's quality of life could improve. Austin and his team got to work on installing a new sump pump to ensure that water would leave the house and that the drainage was proper. They also replaced the humidifier in the home to ensure that the humidity was under control.
