Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner from Fairmont, MN stopped by our office one day to discuss replacing a window well at their home. Without much explanation, we knew exactly what was going on. Wood was commonly used as the structure for window wells. As time goes on, the wood will start to rot or warp due to the elements. This homeowner was using 2x4s to support his well and knew a collapse was imminent.

Our Design Specialist gave the homeowner information about our RockWell Window Well. This well is a solid, one-piece design that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They're UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures (like those in Minnesota!) They also have a polycarbonate cover that keeps leaves and debris out while allowing light in.

Give us a call to discuss your window or window well issues and see if a RockWell is right for your home!

When this Mankato, MN homeowner first reached out to us, their basement was more of a burden than a bonus. It was dark, damp, and musty, definitely not a space anyone wanted to spend time in. Water seeped in during rains and snow melt, leaving puddles and damage behind. The basement felt like wasted square footage, with no potential for comfortable use or added value to the home.

Our team got to work, designing a custom solution to take this space from gloomy to great.

• WaterGuard Interior Drainage System was installed around the perimeter to capture water at its point of entry, along the foundation walls and floor joints, and direct it to the sump pump. It’s completely hidden beneath the floor, so it keeps the basement dry without taking up any usable space. You can even finish with your choice of flooring over top!
• CleanSpace Wall System was used to encapsulate the basement walls. This bright, durable liner not only prevents moisture and vapor from passing through the walls, it also dramatically improves the overall look of the basement, making it feel clean and bright.
• SuperSump Sump Pump System was added to handle water removal efficiently. With a powerful cast-iron pump and an airtight lid, this system ensures the basement stays dry, quietly and reliably.
• RockWell Egress Window System was installed to bring in natural light and meet safety standards. Egress windows aren’t just about code compliance—they completely transform the feel of a basement by adding daylight, improving air flow, and giving peace of mind with a safe exit in case of emergency. The RockWell system also looks great from inside and out, adding curb appeal and value.

Now, the homeowner has a basement that is dry, bright, and totally usable, which is perfect for extra living space, a family room, or maybe a home office.

This basement in Le Center, MN was suffering from significant water intrusion and structural issues. The cinder block walls showed signs of long-term moisture damage and efflorescence, mold-like staining, and visible cracks throughout. The floor was discolored and damp, indicating ongoing water seepage. The space was not only unsightly but also unsafe for storage or use due to poor waterproofing and compromised structural integrity.

The basement has been completely transformed after a full waterproofing and stabilization makeover. CleanSpace was installed to create a vapor barrier, sealing off the walls and preventing moisture from penetrating the interior. Below the surface, WaterGuard was fitted around the perimeter to efficiently collect and channel water to the new SuperSump system, which now serves as the basement’s reliable drainage and pumping solution. PowerBraces were added to reinforce and stabilize the previously cracked and bowing walls, restoring structural integrity. The result is a clean, dry, and secure basement space ready for safe use and future finishing.

Old windows are not very efficient. They can be leaky and drafty causing higher heating bills for homeowners.

This upgrade is energy saving, much more attractive, and prevents leaks into the basement.

A homeowner in Adrian, MN was dealing with a common but frustrating issue - a wet basement. Water seepage along the foundation walls and floor made the space damp and uninviting. Musty odors were becoming more noticeable, and the homeowner was concerned about potential mold growth and damage to possessions they stored in the space. They knew it was time to find a permanent solution.

Our team inspected the basement and recommended a custom waterproofing system using CleanSpace and WaterGuard. We installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system along the perimeter of the basement floor to capture incoming water before it even reaches the basement space. Then, we sealed the walls with CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that helps control moisture, humidity, and mold risk.

The result? This Adrian basement is now clean, dry, and protected from future water intrusion. The homeowner has peace of mind knowing their space is healthier and more functional, whether they use it for storage or plan to finish it down the road.
