Waterproofing Apple Valley MN Wet Basement

When Great Lakes Waterproofing sees long extensions on downspouts, we know this is usually from basement water issues.

We love seeing the homeowner direct the flow away but during a lot of rain or snow melt, the basement area might get wet again.

This foundation is a solid poured concrete wall, the home has a working drain-tile system but the wall crack is allowing water to drain through the crack above the underfloor drain tile system.

The solution for this Apple Valley Wet Basement is Real Waterproofing from Great Lakes Waterproofing, we stop the water outside of the basement using all-natural bentonite injections.  When done the area is cleaned up and your basement or foundation is protected.

Apple Valley MN Leaking Water Through the Foundation

Apple Valley MN is a very wet area, one of the wettest ground conditions we see in the Twin Cities.  The band south of the Twin Cities including Burnsville, Lakeville, Savage and Prior Lake all have soft wet ground most of the year.

This older home also has a wet basement, from what we can guess, the dryer vents have kept this area warm year round melting snow and ice.  When it gets really cold the ice expands and pushes on the walls creating hairline cracks.

Using Great Lakes Waterproofing's Bentonite Injections we were able to seal up this area of the basement.  there was no need to do the entire foundation, this was the only leaking area.

Apple Valley MN Water in The Apartment Building Basement Utility Room

Believe it or not this is pretty common to have water in the apartment building utility room.  We've even worked on brand new buildings.  This Apple Valley Apartment Building was getting around a 1/2" of water on their basement floor.

A drain tile system was not an option, first there was too much equipment to move and the area already had a system installed.  This drain tile was very large and bolted shut so it's hard to determine how much water it's collecting.

The solution was exterior waterproofing, stopping water before it moves through the wall.  If you have a similar water problem, contact the pros at Great Lakes Waterproofing, we've seen this one several times.
