New Basement for New Richland, MN Homeowner

Before:

This home in New Richland, MN was experiencing serious water intrusion that left the basement damp, musty, and largely unusable. Water was seeping in where the wall met the floor, and pooling during heavy rains. The constant moisture threatened the integrity of the foundation and created the ideal environment for mold and mildew. The homeowner needed a long-term solution that would keep the space dry and help preserve the value of their home.

After:

In just two days, our team installed a full waterproofing system to permanently address the issue. We began by placing WaterGuard, a specialized interior drainage system, along the perimeter of the basement floor. Unlike traditional French drains, WaterGuard is engineered to sit on top of the footing, preventing clogs from soil and debris.

We then lined the walls with CleanSpace, a heavy-duty vapor barrier that prevents moisture and vapor from passing through the foundation walls. This not only keeps the basement dry but also helps improve overall air quality in the home.

To complete the system, we installed a SuperSump, a high-performance sump pump system with a cast-iron Zoeller pump, airtight lid, and WaterWatch alarm to provide reliable water removal and peace of mind.

With this system in place, the homeowner now has a dry, healthy basement and gained valuable usable square footage. This not only improves daily living but also adds long-term resale value to the home.
