We Don't Water-Manage,
We WATERPROOF, Stopping Water Outside is REAL Waterproofing!
Farmington Minnesota Waterproofing For
Wet Basements And Foundations
Farmington Minnesota is growing like crazy, new housing is going up everywhere in this beautiful hilly area. Along with homes, Great Lakes Waterproofing has waterproofed many apartment buildings, schools and even office buildings in the area.
For over 20 years, home and business owners, management companies and even government properties have used Great Lakes Waterproofing to seal up wet basement, tunnels, vaults, elevator pits and any project that requires a dry foundation!
Farmington Clogged Gutters and Wet Basement
We see this a lot around townhouse and home, for some reason the landscapers do not like to move the gutter downspout and instead they just drive right over them crushing the end.
Water now has a hard time draining far away from the foundation, instead it moves through the ground next to the foundation and finds any cracking and works it's way through your basement walls.
High ground water means the ground is semi-porous, using Bentonite we fill voids and water pathways stopping water before it moves through the walls. We call this Real Waterproofing!
Farmington Window Well Leaking Water Into Basement
Window wells can be the lowest ground around your foundation and if not properly sealed, will leak all kinds of water.
Great Lakes Waterproofing seals the ground around the foundation with Bentonite, the same material used for lining ponds, lakes, city dumps and rivers. It keeps this water from building up like we see in the photo.
The Bentonite will keep the water on the surface to flow where it was meant to, away from the foundation.
Basement Waterproofing in Farmington
Real Waterproofing starts on the outside, stopping water before it gets into your basement.
In this Farmington Home, the owner was getting water on this corner of the home. This tends to be common, the corner, with added weight will sink a tiny bit making a "stair step" crack. While these cracks look small, they can allow a ton of water into the basement.
See our bentonite hose, we're pumping a slurry of bentonite into the ground, it follows the water and seals up the corner. We didn't need to do the whole home, just this area and at a fraction of the price of drain tile.
