Commercial Basement Waterproofing in Mankato, MN

The business owner of Atwood Management wanted their basement waterproofed, so they worked with our Design Specialist, Dylan, whom they had known throughout the Mankato area. Dylan inspected the basement and determined a plan that would work for them and their needs. After a thorough inspection, the business owner decided to move forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench to install our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain. This system is designed as an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls and prevents water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is designed as a wall protectant that prevents mold and humidity and saves money on energy costs. Our crew poured rock in the open-floor gaps and applied another thin layer of concrete over them. The business owner said they completed the job in one day, and our crew was very efficient!

Leaky Utility Room Gets a Solution in Mankato, MN

A Mankato, MN, homeowner was growing frustrated over his back utility room. Each time the area got rain, the homeowner was faced with pooling water near the baseboard of the room. Not wanting the issue to continue, potentially damaging appliances, the homeowner decided to search for MN waterproofing companies. When he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Dylan completed his inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations to the homeowner. Dylan explained that because the water seemed to be entering through cracks and holes near the floor, he was recommending our WaterGuard. He explained that WaterGuard is a French drain designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. He went on to say that Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. Dylan finished by saying that the WaterGuard would be attached to the homeowner's existing sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Juan B, and his team ended up installing 20ft of WaterGuard throughout the space. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his appliances are safe from water intrusion!

Old Sump Pump Gets Upgraded in Mankato, MN

A homeowner from Mankato, MN, was growing increasingly frustrated with her outdated sump pump. Each time it rained, the sump pump had trouble keeping up with the amount of water entering the home, which led to water overflowing the sump, leaving excess water to stand on the basement floor. The homeowner was concerned about what this could mean for her basement, so she began to look for interior waterproofing MN. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Nate concluded his inspection of the basement, he recommended that the homeowner upgrade her old sump pump. Nate wanted to specifically use our SuperSump sump pump. Nate explained that the SuperSump is an effective and more economical solution to keep the basement dry. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner was thrilled that Nate had provided a fix for her basement and scheduled the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo, and his team were able to place the SuperSump without any issues. Now our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her sump pump was now equipped to handle large influxes of water.
