Drying Out A Partially Finished Basement in Brooten, MN
Challenge
As a homeowner, it can be difficult to see if water is causing damage in your finished basement. Flooring and sheetrock can mask the first stages of water intrusion. Damp or humid air, staining or blistering on wall surfaces, or musty/mildewy odors can mean there is water intrusion doing damage behind the sheetrock or under the laminate floors. Our Design Specialist found evidence of water damage on the baseboards and door frames. This homeowner was using multiple fans, running an over-the-counter dehumidifier, and had containers of Damp-Rid throughout her basement to try to stay on top of it. But we wanted to prevent instead of treat the water issue.
Solution
Our Design Specialist discussed her options with her, and together they decided that our WaterGuard Drain Tiling System, CleanSpace Wall System, and our UltraSump were the right solutions for her space. With this full perimeter system in place, she will be able to completely refinish her basement with confidence that it will stay safe and dry for her and her family.
