Woodbury Minnesota Waterproofing Projects For Wet Basements

Great Lakes Waterproofing has been serving Woodbury Minnesota for over to 20 years!  Specializing in exterior basement waterproofing, we stop water before it enters cracks and holes, moving through your foundation walls.  Woodbury, one of the fastest growing suburbs in the twin cities, has mostly normal ground conditions along with rolling hills which can channel flowing water right towards your foundation.  Most homes in Woodbury are newer with drain tile systems but even these can develop wet basements.  Common causes include settling foundations which crack, allowing outside water into the basement.

Woodbury Ground Conditions

The City of Woodbury stretches from the upper portion of the Twin-Cities down to the southern portion and has several different ground conditions that can lead to foundation cracks and holes allowing water into your basement.  For the most part we see a lot of sand and soil and rocks in some areas.  With newer homes vertical cracks develop in poured concrete allowing free flowing water to enter the home.  Usually above any drain-tile system, it flows straight to the floor.

Waterproofing Woodbury Minnesota Basement Wall Cracks

This Woodbury Minnesota Home has a crack in the basement foundation wall, when it rains the water comes in above the drain tile system.  The corrugated black plastic is supposed to capture this water but with heavy rains it's flowing into the room (it's mostly dry in this photo)

The homeowner cut away the insulation to find the source of this basement water and had concerns of mold and mildew growing in the area, it loves dark wet areas.

The solution to fixing this wet basement was exterior waterproofing using Great Lakes Waterproofing bentonite injections.

Real Waterproofing is sealing the foundation on the outside, not bringing it in and pumping it back outside. 

Waterproofing Woodbury Minnesota Townhouse Basement Foundation

This Woodbury Townhome also had a similar problem with a cracked basement wall and water coming in above the floor on the foundation wall.  The underfloor drain-tile waterproofing system did not collect any of this water.  When the owner pulled off the insulation and drywall to figure out what was happening, he saw this extremely wet area.

To the right of the window you can see water coming through the crack and the white paint is Dry-Lock Waterproofing Paint, which is also not stopping this water.

Using Great Lakes Waterproofing exterior bentonite injections, this foundation was sealed up outside, stopping the water flow.

Waterproofing Woodbury Minnesota Pump Building Foundation

This Woodbury Pump House Building used Great Lakes Exterior Waterproofing to seal the foundation.  As you can see most of the building is built into the hill.  A new drain-tile system was unacceptable with heavy pump equipment covering most of the floor.

With little to no disruption of the landscaping, you can see a pump wand on the side of the building, we pumped a chunky blend of waterproofing bentonite around the exterior foundation walls.  When done the area is cleaned and left as close to what we found it in.

Most projects can be done in a day and we can stage the pumping and mixing equipment away from your employees work area.

When stopping basement water is the solution, Real Waterproofing is the answer!
