Major Transformation to Mankato, MN Basement

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.
