Home Office Prep

These customers both work at home and have plans to build an office in their basement. Before they can embark on that project, they must waterproof their basement, as water occasionally leaks in through the floor. We came in and installed WaterGuard and CleanSpace around the exterior perimeter of the basement running to a sump pump. Additionally, we installed IceGuard, a solution to clogged and frozen discharge lines. Now the basement is ready to be turned into a great workspace!

Helping A Customer Build a Living Space They Love in Des Moines, IA

Walter had experienced water intrusion in his basement on multiple occasions, which hindered his ability to fully enjoy the space. He desired to finish their basement, install attractive floor finishes, and transform it into a usable area within his home. Additionally, he expressed concerns about the basement's dim and gloomy atmosphere.

 

Furthermore, Walter was particularly worried about the potential presence of mold and musty smells, as he had lost his sense of smell and wanted to avoid dealing with such issues. After enduring years with an unfinished basement, he finally decided to invest in flooring and other enhancements. However, he wanted assurance that these improvements would not be compromised by future water problems.

 

To address these concerns, we installed full-height CleanSpace, a highly effective vapor barrier system that safeguards against mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors. Additionally, we installed a Triple Safe sump pump, providing the customer with added peace of mind and ample backup protection in the event of any future water infiltration.

 

By implementing these measures, we ensured that Walter's basement would be protected from potential water issues, allowing him to confidently proceed with their plans to finish the space and create a more inviting and enjoyable area within his home.

Keep Water Away From Your Home in Des Moines, IA

This customer needed to make sure that the water being soaked up by his sump pump was being carried far enough away so that it wouldn't drain the water right back into the foundation wall soil. We were able to extend the discharge pipe far enough from the foundation and ensure the water would not affect the home's integrity.
