Basement Waterproofing Helps Sell House in Des Moines, IA

This homeowner was looking to sell her house, however it would not sell because the basement was having water problems. Her realtor suggested that she get these fixed before she tries to sell her house again, so she gave us a call.

We sent System Design Specialist Ryan Allen to inspect the basement water problems and come up with a solution that buyers would like. Ryan noticed that not only was there water coming in through the walls, but there was also mold on the construction materials, and the walls started bowing in. The walls were a fairly new problem, so Ryan knew just how to fix all of the basement issues. Our team removed the mold, then installed a CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier and PowerBraces to secure the wall and ensure that water could not get in, and that mold would not grow again.

The homeowner was glad to have these projects done and she was able to sell her house right away. Check out her basement solution!

The customer prioritized ensuring the structural stability of her house, having already addressed all other necessary repairs. One of the pressing issues she encountered was a bowing wall with noticeable deflection, which had worsened since the previous year. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, we employed power braces as an effective solution to rectify the problem. Through the gradual application of power braces, we can safely and steadily restore the wall to its proper alignment.

 

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.
