Damp Basement Gets a Solution in Lino Lakes, MN

A Lino Lakes, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. The downstairs bedroom had been taking on water for some time, leading to overly saturated carpets, musty odors, and more. The homeowner was unsure of who offered interior waterproofing MN, but quickly found our website and signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, was headed out to the home. When Nick arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the bedroom to see how bad the problem was. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Nick recommended our CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the basement. This innovative product works to direct intruding water from the wall down and into a perimeter drain, our WaterGuard. This French drain gets installed below the floor of the basement, but atop the footing of the foundation to keep it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog, leading to a flooded basement. The homeowner was thrilled with Nick's recommendations and the two worked together to find the best day for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team installed 24 ft of our CleanSpace and WaterGuard, successfully restoring our customer's trust and confidence in their home! 

Damp Basement Gets a Solution in Minneapolis, MN

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was dealing with a leaky basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner was left with leaky basement walls and standing water. She no longer wanted to deal with the nuisance, so she began to look for Minneapolis basement waterproofing. After hours of combing through results, she found our website and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the property to see what could be done. 

Once Eric finished his thorough inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Eric recommended the use of our CleanSpace. He explained that CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets applied directly to the walls. It works to catch water entering through porous holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter drain. The basement lacked a drainage system, so Eric wanted to use our WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard is a French drain that gets applied below the basement floor, but atop the foundation footing, keeping it out of the "mud zone" where other drains tend to clog. The WaterGuard catches water running down the wall from the CleanSpace, as well as any water entering through the floor, and gives it a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site, which in this case, was an already placed sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of our products working hand in hand and decided to schedule her job for several weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kiko, led his team through a flawless installation. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing her water intrusion issue has a reliable solution!

Damp Basement Transformed in Minneapolis, MN

A Minneapolis, MN, business owner was down in the basement of the property one evening after a heavy rain and was shocked to notice several small pools of water had entered the space. He was worried about what this could mean for his property, so he quickly began looking for a Minneapolis basement waterproofing company. When he found our website, he was impressed with other waterproofing projects we had completed. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Daniel R, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Daniel got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he was recommending two of our products, which he felt would benefit the space. First, Daniel recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly to the walls of the basement. It works to trap water entering through holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter, which, in this case, Daniel recommended to be our WaterGuard system. This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain functions to collect water from the CleanSpace, as well as water coming up through holes or cracks in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Daniel did notice that the basement lacked a means of expelling water, so he recommended the installation of our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. The homeowner was thrilled with Daniel's comprehensive plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our team arrived bright and early to complete the installation. Led by their Foreman, Kiko, our team installed 144 ft of WaterGuard, 90ft of CleanSpace, and 1 TripleSafe sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his property is properly protected! 

High Radon Levels Mitigated in Richfield, MN

A homeowner from Richfield, MN, had just learned of the dangers that radon gas can pose to a household. Not wanting the invisible threat to be circulating through her home, she began looking for a contractor offering radon mitigation MN. When she found our website, she was impressed with our images of radon gas mitigation system we had installed in her area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, was scheduled to stop out at the home. 

When Kyle arrived, he began his appointment by placing continuous radon monitoring tests in the basement of the home. This test aims to record radon levels over a period of time, delivering the average radon level in the home. Kyle explained that if the test came back with a score higher than 4 pCi/L, he would recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Kyle went on to say that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner liked the sound of Kyle's plan and vowed to wait until the results returned to make a choice. When the results returned sometime later, the levels were way above the recommended 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner called Kyle to schedule a date for the system to be installed. 

Eventually, the day of the project rolled around. Our Foreman, Geno M, was able to lead his team through the installation of the system. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing her family is inhaling only the cleanest air possible.
