Waterproofing Anoka Wet Basement Parking Area

We work on a lot of apartment buildings and condos, this type with underground parking has been a staple of our work for over 45 years.

Not only do we stop the water on the outside but there's no need to move cars or storage, most of our work is done outside.

Almost all of these buildings have a working drain tile system but water finds it's way in through cracks and holes.

For a fraction of the price the other guys are quoting, do it the right way with Real Waterproofing!

Waterproofing an Anoka Wet Basement

Anoka Home with a wet basement waterproofing

This was an older Anoka Home out in the woods. For years the home never had gutters but with a roof like this, 1" of rain could be hundreds of gallons of water all draining at the basement foundation.

Solving wet Anoka Basement with Real Waterproofing is easy for Great Lakes Waterproofing, we seal the outside foundation using the world's #1 waterproofing material, bentonite.

Part of a multi-billion dollar industry, bentonite seals foundations and because it doesn't harden in the ground, it flexes with ground movement and well self-heal over basement cracks.

Waterproofing Anoka Concrete Foundation With Drain Tile

Waterproofing Anoka MN Wet Basement With Drain Tile

This Anoka Home had someone put in a drain tile system a few years ago, you can see the new concrete seam about 12" from the wall.

Unfortunately what they don't tell you is sand and dirt also come in with the water, eventually it could plug up the block cores or the holes in the drain tile pipe as in the case with this home.

The sump pump was still running and working but it wasn't getting all the water, luckily this wasn't a finished basement.

Why Do Anoka Homeowner's Use Exterior Basement Waterproofing?

The area around Anoka tends to be above average wet and the best way to stop basement or foundation water intrusion with solid stone, block or even poured concrete walls is with bentonite injections. The bentonite fills voids in the ground, plugs water pathways and stops the water on the outside. Interior basement walls made of solid stone, block and poured concrete, like to "breathe" on the inside.
