Professionals Help You Keep a Dry Basement in South Dakota

Many types of basement waterproofing can help you keep a safe and dry foundation. We offer products and services such as exterior and interior drainage, sump pumps, and vapor barriers. All these wonderful products produce excellent results; depending on your specific water situation, you may need all or just one. However, these products are usually recommended for all homes.

Interior and exterior drainage help to eliminate the immediate water problem. If you are experiencing flooding, drainage directs the excess water to your sump pump system. While interior drainage is less expensive and evasive, exterior drainage takes care of the problem before it even starts.

Sump pump systems help keep water out of your foundation. As they age, sump pumps become unreliable and start to create moisture, which can lead to health problems such as mold and mildew. By keeping your sump pump system up-to-date, you will not have to worry about the contents of your home being ruined by water damage.

Probably the best way to keep a dry basement is by installing a vapor barrier in your basement or crawl space. Vapor barriers are strong sheets of fabric that resist moisture. They are also a strong material that will not tear and let in water. They will keep moisture out of your home, making it so you do not have to worry about mold and rot. Vapor barriers are a great addition to any waterproofed basement.

No matter your water foundation problem, we promise excellent service, quality products, and better results. You can rest easy knowing your home is once again a safe and healthy environment for all its inhabitants.
