Waterproofing and Wall Support in Plano, IA

This homeowner just bought his new home and he was excited to start his first project of finishing the basement. When he went down to the basement to start working, he noticed that there were cracks in the walls which set off a worry about the home's structure and potential water damage. In his old home, he had used our services for foundation repair, so he decided to give us a call for a free inspection just to be safe and calm his worries.

We sent Service Technician Joe Rebik to inspect the homeowner's new basement to determine if there was any structural concern shown from the wall cracks. Joe found that there was a high level of hydrostatic pressure on the walls and that the walls were starting to move inwards, which is what caused the cracks to start showing and water to start seeping in. In order to fix this problem and help the homeowner to finish his basement, Joe designed a comprehensive structural and waterproofing system to fix all of the basement problems.

One of our installation teams came to this home and implemented this plan by utilizing PowerBraces to support the walls and push them back over time. After that, they started on waterproofing by installing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System and a full height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to effectively drain water into a new Super Sump Pump that gets water up and away from the basement. The homeowner was very happy with the basement and he is excited to finish it now without worries. Check out these before and after pictures!

Water and Wall Problems Solved in Lakota, IA

This homeowner had water in his basement, but no way of pumping the water out. He was tired of cleaning up the water himself, and he knew that he wanted to use the basement space in the future, so when he saw our services on TV, he gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Todd King to inspect the basement and determine where the water was getting in as well as solve this water problem. Todd found that water was coming in through the cold joints and was causing pressure on the walls. He discussed the need for additional wall support with the homeowner, and the homeowner agreed that he needed to fix his basement problems soon.

One of our installation teams came to the house and started off by utilizing a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a Lateral Line, and a partial height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to keep water contained and off the basement floors. Then, the team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to pump water up and out of the basement. To address the wall pressure problem, out installation team replaced the older support braces with new, PowerBraces to effectively stabilize the walls of the newly waterproofed basement.

Water Problem Fixed in Maxwell, IA

This homeowner had water getting into his basement, and every time he wanted the water to go away, he would have to pull up the flooring to dry out the water. While this problem had been occurring for years, he determined that with retirement nearing, he wanted to devote his time to home improvement projects instead of dealing with the wet basement problem. He knew that he wanted this problem fixed the right way, so when he found out about our services, he decided to give us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist James Denning to inspect the homeowner's basement water problem and determine what was causing it and to suggest solutions that would fix the problem. James found that water was coming in on one side of the house because that side of the house was sitting lower than the rest of the foundation, so water was running downhill to this portion of the house. James suggested that fixing this problem would involve a full perimeter waterproofing solution complete with a TripleSafe Sump Pump in order to get water out of the home, and the homeowner thought this idea would help tremendously. 

One of our installation teams came to the home and installed a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System with a partial height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier in order to drain water along the wall source. Then, they installed a lateral line to keep the center of the basement free of water, and all of this lead to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which pumps water up and away from the basement. On the exterior or the home, our installation team buried 4 downspouts in the yard, and they installed 2 poly wells to help keep water from flowing towards the lower sitting foundation wall. The homeowner was very happy with the results and he looks forward to using his basement space now. Check out the before and after!
