A New Basement in Olivia, MN

A homeowner in Olivia, MN had grown tired of dealing with water finding its way into their basement after heavy rains. Along with the moisture problems, they noticed their basement walls beginning to bow inward, which is a sign of foundation pressure that could worsen over time if left untreated. Wanting to protect their home's structure and create a dry, usable basement, they contacted us for a free inspection.

After a thorough evaluation, our System Design Specialist recommended a solution to address both the water intrusion and the foundation concerns.

To keep the basement permanently dry, our team installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to capture water before it could reach the living space. We paired it with our CleanSpace wall system, which creates a clean, bright moisture barrier while directing any wall seepage into the drainage system. A SuperSump sump pump was installed to efficiently remove collected water from the home, providing dependable protection during heavy rains.

To stabilize the foundation walls, we installed our PowerBrace System. These beams permanently reinforce bowing basement walls and help prevent further inward movement, giving the homeowner confidence that their foundation is secure.

Now, this Olivia homeowner has a dry, healthier basement and stabilized foundation walls, protecting both their home and their investment for years to come. Instead of worrying every time the forecast calls for rain, they can enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing their basement is built to stay dry and structurally sound.
