Saint Paul Minnesota Basement And Foundation Waterproofing Projects

Saint Paul Minnesota is mostly older homes and businesses, over the years some of the foundations have settled or developed cracks and holes allowing water to move through the walls.  Great Lakes Waterproofing is perfect for older stone, rubble and limestone walls, we stop the water outside of the foundation, filling and sealing the nooks and crannies of the wall with all-natural bentonite for waterproofing.  Once sealed the bentonite should be effective for the life of your foundation.

Residential Basement Waterproofing

This is a typical Saint Paul Home needing foundation waterproofing for a wet basement.  This homeowner decided on exterior waterproofing for Real Waterproofing!  If you look closely you can see holes drilled through the concrete.  Great Lakes Waterproofing will pump bentonite waterproofing in these areas to fully seal the foundation.

Our pumping and mixing equipment is usually staged away from foot and vehicle traffic. When done, we seal up the holes with concrete and fully clean the area.

Most of the materials we use have a Green Rating by HUD.

Condo Basement Waterproofing

Saint Paul has a lot of older buildings and homes with limestone foundations.  These rocks can get up to large blocks in size.  Over time the mortar between the blocks turns to sand leaving holes going straight through the wall.  Exterior waterproofing seals up the foundation on the outside, no need for extensive work inside to fix your wet basement 

The pumping equipment is staged on the front lawn in this Saint Paul Neighborhood, you can see some of the black hose and injection wand by the plants.  We take care with any plants and landscaping and try to work around them if possible.

Elevator Pit Waterproofing

This very old elevator pit in downtown Saint Paul had water coming in about 5' off the basement floor.  The wall is flat stones stack up and it might have had a concrete layer over the top at one time.  The dark streaks is water moving through the old mortar on the basement walls.

Water pressure moving through basement walls is nearly impossible to stop long term, the best way to stop it is on the outside using exterior basement waterproofing.  This is considered Real Waterproofing since water is stopped before it moves through the wall, leaving all areas of the wet basement dry.
