Stabilizing and Waterproofing a Mankato, MN Basement.

Our customer in Mankato, MN reached out to us with a leaky basement and bowing walls. Water was seeping through the walls and floors, leaving behind musty odors and damp spots that made it difficult for the family to feel comfortable using the space. Over time, the pressure from shifting soils had also started to bow the basement walls, raising concerns about the home’s structural safety and long-term stability.

Our team installed a full waterproofing and foundation repair system designed to permanently solve these issues. WaterGuard was placed along the interior perimeter to capture and direct water to a new SuperSump system, keeping the basement dry even during heavy rains. We sealed the walls with CleanSpace, creating a bright, clean vapor barrier that prevents moisture and mold growth. To address the bowing walls, PowerBraces were installed to stabilize and gradually straighten the foundation over time.

Now, the family has peace of mind knowing their basement is safe, dry, and structurally sound. What was once a damp, concerning space is now a secure, usable area that adds comfort and value to their Mankato home.
