Failing Sump Pump Saved in Eau Claire, WI

During a thunderstorm, a homeowner in Eau Claire, WI, listened as his sump pump struggled to remove the water. Knowing that the Midwest weather can be unpredictable, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing contractors in the area and found us. After looking through our website and becoming drawn by our sump pumps, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Ross, arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he talked to the homeowner to get a better understanding of their concerns. The homeowner explained that he is just looking to get his current sump pump working again, but wanted to keep it within his budget. Ross understood and recommended our Zoeller M-53 1/3 HP pump, which is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, UltraSump, our battery backup pump that can operate during power outages, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line attachment that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze. Both pumps would be installed in the homeowner's current sump pump system, replacing the current broken pumps. After looking over Ross's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date.

In about a week, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by taking out the old pump and replacing it with our Zoeller M-53 pump and UltraSump. Lastly, the crew installed 1 IceGuard outside of the home and connected it to the sump system. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Outdated Sump Pump Gets Replaced in Eau Claire, WI

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was struggling with a unique issue each time it rained. The sump pump that had been placed in a downstairs closet, was taking on too much water during heavy rain, causing the excess water to spill over the top and end up on the floor. The homeowner didn't want to risk doing permanent water damage to his basement, so he began to search for sump pump companies in Minnesota. After he found our website, he decided to set up his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Once Derek completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. He informed her that it's not uncommon for older sump pumps to have issues during times of heavy water intrusion. Derek went on to say that he was recommending an upgrade to the current system. Derek wanted to use our TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable sump pump system in our lineup. During normal times, It provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The TripleSafe boasts a powerful cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. In times of heavy volumes of water, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 hp pump will take over, keeping the basement dry no matter how heavy the rain is. The homeowner liked the sound of Derek's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our team headed out to the home to install the sump pump. Led by their Foreman, Jesus C, our team installed 1 sump pump in a new location in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her below-ground space without worries of standing water!

Unhealthy Crawl Space Gets a Makeover in Eau Claire, WI

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was doing a routine check on the crawl space beneath his home. When he headed into the space, he found that the crawl space was drafty, making it very cold. It suddenly occurred to him that the faulty space could be the culprit behind his cold floors each morning. After finding our website via an internet search, he signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Darin wasted no time getting down in the crawl space. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Darin recommended our  CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly to the walls of the crawl space and serves as a barrier between the harsh conditions outdoors and the crawl space. Darin then said that while he was in the crawl space, he observed some concerning attributes in the wooden beams. He explained that one of the beams providing mid-span support was showing signs of bending, which could lead to troubles with the floors above. Darin was concerned enough that he recommended our crawl space SmartJacksThe SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. The homeowner was thankful for Darin's transparency and honesty and decided to schedule her project for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco E, led his team through the successful installation of 570 sqft of CleanSpace, and 3 of our SmartJacks. Now, our customer can comfortably enjoy his home, knowing the foundation is as sturdy as ever! 

 

Flooding Basement Transformed in Eau Claire, WI

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was heading down into her basement one day when she swore she could hear the steady, unmistakable drip of water. Immediately concerned, the homeowner leaped into action to find the source. She was shocked to discover that the water was flooding in through the basement walls. She had no idea who to contact about a basement flooding in Eau Claire, WI. She took to the internet and eventually came across our website. She was impressed with the reviews we had done in the area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. After inspecting the faulty basement, he was ready to make his recommendations as to how we could help. First, Mac wanted to install our WaterGuard drainage system. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, effectively keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where other drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water coming up through holes and cracks in the foundation and floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Mac noticed that there wasn't a means of disposal for the unwanted water and recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump, an affordable yet effective solution for unwanted water in your basement. The homeowner liked the sound of Mac's plan and signed on the spot. 

The day of the installation eventually rolled around and our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team arrived at the property bright and early. At the end of the project, the team had installed 27 ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can confidently use her basement knowing that her water intrusion issue is in the past!
