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.

No More Wet Basement for Mankato, MN 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.

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.
