Basement Waterproofing in New Vienna, IA
Challenge
In this New Vienna residence, the basement was more of a liability than an asset. The homeowners faced persistent water intrusion, which created a damp, unwelcoming environment.
The consequences were two-fold:
Storage Loss: Valuable items were at risk of water damage and mold, forcing the family to abandon their storage dreams.
Stalled Renovations: Plans for new flooring and a finished aesthetic were put on indefinite hold, as no material could survive the recurring "water attacks."
Solution
To provide a permanent solution that wouldn't interfere with the home’s aesthetics, we recommended the WaterGuard® Basement Waterproofing System.
Unlike traditional exterior drains that require massive excavation, WaterGuard is installed discreetly beneath the floor slab. Our team:
Prepped the perimeter to intercept water at the source.
Installed the WaterGuard piping to capture seepage from walls and the floor-wall joint.
Connected the system to a high-efficiency Sump Pump, ensuring all captured water is automatically diverted away from the foundation.
