Choosing a Waterproofing Company for Your Minnesota Basement

Wet basements are not fun! Flooded basements are a homeowner’s nightmare. If you are suffering from constant worry about the health and safety of your basement, it’s time for a change. If you’ve tried DIY efforts to fix pooling water, cracks in your foundation, leaky basement windows, or high humidity, it’s time to find an experienced, professional waterproofer you can trust. A wet basement wastes valuable living space, damages building materials and stored possessions, pollutes the indoor air, risks the health of those living in the home, and puts your investment in your home at risk. That adds up to considerable risk.

Look for expertise, training, and experience.

When you choose a basement contractor in the Basement Systems network, you get a local company trained in and committed to the best waterproofing practices. Each contractor listed here is an expert in the diagnosis of sub-grade moisture problems as well as the design and installation of proper drainage, moisture and humidity control, and basement materials. Say good-bye to your wet basement with the best basement waterproofing in your neighborhood!

Demand high-quality basement waterproofing products.

Why do Minnesota Basements Get Wet?

Flooding: Homes built close to any of Minnesota's 10,000 lakes or other water resources are vulnerable to flooding. This is especially true in the spring, when melting snow and ice jams add to water levels in rivers and streams. In the summer, thunderstorms are fairly common across the state, with 30 days of potential storms in the north and as many as 45 days of severe storms in the south (NOAA National Climatic Data Center). Each thunderstorm carries with it the potential for flash flooding. While many homeowners in southeastern state will remember record flooding that occurred in 2007, it doesn’t take a major weather event to ruin your basement and all the fixtures, furnishings, and possessions within.

Other causes: How old is your home? Basement windows get rusty and leak over time, grading around your foundation may erode and shift, even if it was originally designed for optimal drainage, and pressure from the soils around the foundation can cause floor and wall cracks. Even if your home is a more recent construction, drainage systems and gutters get clogged, lawns get waterlogged in the spring, and simple plumbing failures can lead to wet basement flooring, damp basement walls, and excess humidity. In each case, basement waterproofing can address the underlying issues, prevent future water damage, and maintain healthier indoor air quality.,

    Jeromy, Lane, and Jeremiah was the crew that worked to make my basement water-free. They are three of the nicest gentleman and were hard working. Each day, they were here by 9:30am and worked nonstop except for lunch and a break until around 8pm each day. They asked if it waws alright to work late and of course I said yes. They explained their process as they went along. They explained it so I could understand it. They worked so diligently and worked well together. I can't say enough great things about them and their work. In fact, they ran out of sealer and Jeromy, the crew chief is coming back on Saturday to complete it. They represented your company so well as I am sure they do where they work. Keep that crew together and employed for a long time. Thank you Jeromy, Lane, and Jeremiah for a great experience!

    Greetings Mr. Janesky,My husband and I are currently involved in an extension renovation project that included working with one of your Basement Systems teams. (I wish I could say that we opted to embark on this adventure, but unfortunately, it was all prompted by a mold issue in our home that had to be addressed.) After working with a wonderful mold remediation team, we were scheduled to work with American Waterworks based out of Pine Island, MN. The American Waterworks team has been outstanding to work with throughout the entire process. Before we even met with our design specialist, Mike Radosevich, he mailed us a packet of information that included your Dry Basement Science book which I read cover-to-cover. After reading the book, I had so many questions (about how these systems would work in my house specifically), but my meeting with Mike was still several weeks away. While at Menards on a weekend, I came across a gentleman and his wife who were shopping. He was wearing an American Waterworks jacket, so I stopped him and asked him if he worked for them. He said he did and introduced himself as Tom Webbles. I explained my situation and asked him if he would mind if I asked him a few questions. He and his wife were so lovely. They patiently listened, and Tom happily answered all of my questions. My meeting with Mike Radosevich came next. Mike was pleasant and professional from the beginning, and he genuinely showed concern for our family as we were dealing with the mold issues in our home. He even made a way for the work in our home to be expedited so that we could try to get most of the entire project (beyond just their work) finished before I returned to school for the Fall. (I’m a teacher.) Before the work began, we also met Jeremy Girgen who brainstormed with Mike and helped us negotiate some solutions for running the Sanidry system. (Our home runs on a boiler/baseboard heating system and not a furnace with central air so it wasn’t a straight-forward install.) Jeremy shared a lot of basement expertise with us throughout the entire process.When it came time for the actual install, Matt Zeller and his crew were fantastic. They walked us through the entire process and answered any questions we had along the way. They were professional and experienced and had excellent workmanship. After their install, they asked if there was anything more that we would like them to clean up!Mike has since followed up with us and has consulted with follow-up contractors as questions came up with framing around the new system. He has had excellent communication with us throughout the whole process and made himself available whenever we needed him.Although the system is still so new, we trust that it will live up to its reputation. It was quite a pricey investment (and the rest of the reno project numbers continue to skyrocket out of control as every day there is something else to address!), but we do believe that what was installed will resolve our moisture issues.I tell you all of this because I believe that customer service departments typically hear from dissatisfied customers and that owners/employers/CEOs should know when their employees/workers/crews go above and beyond. Thank you for your time. Sincerely,Anne Moberg
