New Life in a Generational Family Home in New Ulm, MN

When this homeowner took over her family home in rural New Ulm, MN, she inherited more than just memories; she was dealing with a basement that had suffered from years of water intrusion and high humidity. Moisture had seeped in where the floor and walls met, leading to visible damage, mold and mildew growth, and an overall damp, musty environment. On top of that, the foundation walls had begun to bow inward, raising serious concerns about the long-term structural stability of the home. The basement was no longer a usable space, and without intervention, the problems would only worsen.

To restore both safety and usability, we installed a complete waterproofing and stabilization system tailored to the home’s needs. Our WaterGuard interior drainage system was placed to capture water at its entry point and direct it efficiently to the new TripleSafe sump pump, providing reliable protection even during heavy rains or power outages. We lined the walls with CleanSpace to create a durable moisture barrier, helping eliminate humidity and prevent future mold growth. Finally, PowerBraces were installed to stabilize and support the bowing walls, protecting the home’s structural integrity. The result is a clean, dry, and healthy basement that can once again be used and enjoyed, ensuring this cherished family home remains strong and secure for generations to come.
