Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

When Heather, a homeowner in Mankato, MN, first reached out to our team, she was feeling overwhelmed. For years, she had been dealing with regular water intrusion in her basement, puddles along the perimeter after every rainfall, a persistent musty smell, and growing concern about potential damage to her stored belongings. What started as a minor annoyance had become a real threat to her home’s comfort and value.

Heather explained that each time she mopped up the water, it felt like a temporary fix. She wanted a permanent solution, something that would let her reclaim her basement without worrying about the next storm. After listening to her concerns, our team scheduled a full inspection.

During the assessment, we discovered that groundwater was entering through the joint where the floor meets the wall, a classic sign of hydrostatic pressure. To solve the problem long-term, we recommended a comprehensive waterproofing system tailored to her space. Heather appreciated the clear explanation and decided to move forward.

Our installation team arrived and got to work:

We lined the basement walls with CleanSpace, a bright, durable vapor barrier that not only blocks moisture but also channels any wall seepage directly into the drainage system. Heather loved how it instantly made the basement look cleaner and brighter.

Next, we installed WaterGuard, a reliable interior drainage system positioned along the basement’s perimeter. Set just above the footing to avoid clogs, WaterGuard captures water at the wall-floor joint and guides it safely toward the sump system.

Finally, we installed a SuperSump, a high-performance sump pump designed to handle heavy water volume and keep the basement dry even during major storms. With its airtight lid, efficient liner, and optional battery backup, the system gave Heather peace of mind that her basement would stay protected around the clock.

When the work was complete, Heather was thrilled. The once-damp, musty basement was now clean, bright, and dry.

For Heather, the transformation was more than a repair. It was getting her home, her space, and her peace of mind back. And for us, it was another opportunity to deliver the dependable, long-term solutions Mankato homeowners deserve.

This homeowner had dealt with water issues in their basement for years. After trying temporary fixes and growing tired of the recurring mess, they reached out to us for a solution that would truly last for life.

During our inspection, it was clear that water had been entering along the floor for a long time, keeping the space from ever being fully usable. To put an end to the problem, our team installed a complete waterproofing system designed for long-term protection:

• WaterGuard Interior Drain System to capture water at the perimeter and direct it safely away.

• CleanSpace Wall System to block moisture and brighten the space.

• SuperSump Premier Sump Pump for reliable pumping and year-round peace of mind.

The result is a clean, dry, and protected basement, finally free from the constant worry of water intrusion. This homeowner now has the lasting solution they’d been searching for.

For years, this homeowner in Mankato had been dealing with frustrating water issues in her basement. What started as occasional moisture gradually became a bigger concern. The basement walls had become heavily discolored from repeated water exposure, and the floors showed clear signs of water damage. The damp conditions also created that all-too-familiar musty basement smell that many homeowners know too well.

After living with the problem for so long, she decided it was time for a permanent solution and reached out to our team for help.

Following a full inspection, we designed a waterproofing system that would keep her basement dry for good. Our crew installed the WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter to capture water before it could reach the floor. We then lined the walls with CleanSpace to create a clean, bright moisture barrier.

Finally, we installed a powerful SuperSump system to efficiently pump any collected water away from the home.

The transformation was immediate. What was once a damp, damaged basement is now a dry, protected space the homeowner can feel confident about. Best of all, she no longer has to worry every time it rains.

When this couple in Mankato first worked with us, we helped address part of their basement waterproofing concerns. But over time, they began noticing water leaking into the unfinished section that hadn’t been protected yet. Signs of water damage started to appear, and to make matters worse, several basement walls were beginning to bow inward from outside pressure. Wanting a permanent solution from a team they already trusted, they gave us another call to fully protect their home.

Our crew designed a complete waterproofing and stabilization system to solve the problem for good. We installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement perimeter, paired it with CleanSpace wall protection, and added a SuperSump system with an UltraSump battery backup to keep water moving out of the home even during power outages. To address the structural concerns, we reinforced the bowing walls with PowerBraces for long-term stability. With all systems working together, this Mankato basement is now dry, secure, and protected with a complete solution built to deliver lasting results.
