    Basement Waterproofing in Ottumwa, IA

    This homeowner wanted to have a dry basement because it was getting harder and harder for him to keep mopping up all of the water. He wanted this problem solved by experts in basement waterproofing, so he gave us a call. We sent System Design Specialist Luke Miller to inspect the basement and determine what was causing water to get into the basement as well as design a comprehensive solution to keep water out. Luke found that the floor/wall join around the perimeter of the basement was leaking water onto the floor as well as through some cracks in the floor itself. Upon seeing this, he knew that full perimeter solution was needed as well as a lateral line to capture water that was seeping in through the floor cracks, so he called for an installation team as per the homeowner's request. One of our installation teams utilized a full perimeter WaterGuard Interior Drainage System as well as a partial height CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. After that, they  installed a lateral line to capture water that was coming through the middle of the floor before it could get into the basement. They topped it off by installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to push all of this water up and away from the basement. The homeowner was very pleased with the end result and he thought that his installation looked very clean. Check out the new waterproofing systems this homeowner has!

    Never Clean Your Gutters Again!

    This homeowner has our CleanSpace waterproofing system in a portion of her basement, but she wants the entire area fully waterproofed. Additionally, this homeowner has her clean her gutters four times a year and just doesn't want to have to do that anymore. Her yard has many mature trees so installing RainDrop gutter guards was a must. And we installed CleanSpace in the rest of her basement to waterproof her walls and control the moisture. Now this homeowner will never have to clean her gutters again!

    This customer wanted to fix the water infiltration in their basement. Their big goal was to finish the basement and install a bathroom, so they needed better water management. To help them, we installed a combination of proven waterproofing measures.   Our team installed WaterGuard, a reliable drainage system, to catch and redirect water away from the foundation. We also implemented full-height CleanSpace encapsulation, which created a moisture-resistant barrier.
