Protecting a Pemberton, MN Basement

This Pemberton, MN homeowner was dealing with a cracked and bowing basement wall and water seeping in during heavy rains. The horizontal crack was a clear sign of pressure from the soil outside, and the moisture was beginning to damage the interior, causing musty odors and concern over long-term structural stability.

We permanently stabilized the bowing wall using our PowerBrace system, which prevents further inward movement and can even help straighten the wall over time. To address the water intrusion, we installed our WaterGuard drainage system to collect and redirect water, paired with CleanSpace wall covering to create a vapor barrier and improve the basement’s appearance. The space is now dry, stable, and protected from future damage.
