Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Securing a Strong Foundation and Dry Space for Business in Duluth with Expert Waterproofing and Stabilization Solutions

Facing a damp basement in their newly acquired business building in Duluth, the owner chose renovation over demolition to create a healthier and more secure foundation. Our team stepped in to ensure the space was dry and protected, offering the potential for future use, whether for storage or other purposes. Our solution included CleanSpace® wall coverings to block moisture, the SaniDry™ Sedona to maintain dry, healthy air, and the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump for efficient water removal. We also stabilized and leveled sagging floors with the SmartJack® System and reinforced any bowing or cracking walls with the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System. As shown in the photo gallery, the basement is now a secure, dry space with a solid foundation, ready to support the building’s long-term health and stability.

Noticeable Water Damage and Efflorescence

The basement shows clear signs of water damage, with efflorescence visibly coating the walls. This moisture issue was compromising the foundation and creating an unhealthy environment.

Wet Floors in Basement

The wet floors in the basement are a direct result of the ongoing moisture infiltration, making the space unusable and damp, which could potentially lead to mold growth and further damage.

Crew Member Caden Beginning Work on Crawlspace

Our team member, Caden, begins the process of installing a new foundation stabilization system and waterproofing solutions, starting with the crawlspace to address any existing moisture and foundation concerns.

Newly Installed Waterproofing System

With the new waterproofing system in place, including CleanSpace® and TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, the basement is now completely dry. This ensures long-term protection from water intrusion, improving the overall health of the space.

PowerBrace™, CleanSpace®, SmartJack® System, and Waterproofing Installed

The final result shows the complete installation of PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing, CleanSpace® moisture barriers, and SmartJack® stabilization systems. These solutions, combined with waterproofing, ensure a dry, secure foundation that can support future use.

CleanSpace® and SmartJack® XT Installed

The basement now features CleanSpace® wall coverings and the SmartJack® XT system, providing superior moisture protection and enhanced floor stabilization. This combination ensures a dry, secure space ready for long-term durability.

Crawlspace Encapsulation

The crawlspace is fully encapsulated with CleanSpace® liners, creating a sealed environment that prevents moisture buildup and improves air quality. This encapsulation ensures a dry, healthy crawlspace, protecting the building's foundation from water damage and mold growth.

WaterGuard Installed, Puddles Still Visible

At this stage, the WaterGuard system is in place, but water still remains in the basement. The system is now active and will soon begin redirecting the water away, preventing future puddling and damage to the home's foundation once fully connected to the drainage system.

Prepping for WaterGuard Installation

In this phase of the installation, the basement is being prepped by digging trenches along the perimeter. This crucial step will allow for the proper placement of the WaterGuard system, ensuring optimal water flow and preventing future basement flooding

WaterGuard System Being Installed

The WaterGuard system is being placed along the basement walls, creating a channel for water to flow through. Our team is carefully ensuring the system is leveled and securely attached to the foundation, guaranteeing that water will be directed into the drainage system efficiently.
