Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Pamela and Shawn of Lake Mills, Iowa had water coming through their walls... literally!  Thanks to our wall waterproofing system, these homeowners can sleep at night knowing that water will no longer be able to enter their home.

A Northfield, MN homeowner had been living with basement water problems since moving into her home back in 1993. Over the years, the situation slowly got worse. Whenever it rained heavily, she could end up with a couple of inches of water on the basement floor. This made the space impossible to use and stressful to deal with every time the weather turned stormy. After putting it off for years, she finally decided it was time to get the problem fixed once and for all.

We designed a waterproofing solution to give her the peace of mind she needed. By installing WaterGuard to collect water at the perimeter, CleanSpace to keep moisture from seeping through the walls, and a SuperSump to pump water safely away, her basement is now protected from future flooding. On top of that, our lifetime transferrable warranty means she never has to worry about water damage again. Now she can confidently use her basement however she wants, knowing it will stay dry for years to come.

These customers were so impressed with the ThermalDry flooring their son had installed that they called us for a quote to upgrade their own basement! ThermalDry flooring is designed to resist moisture and water, with raised pegs on the bottom that lift it above the cold, hard concrete, allowing the floor to breathe. This makes it perfect for Minnesota basements. Plus, with a variety of styles and finishes, it complements any basement beautifully!

Mary of Rosemount was getting water seepage in her basement along some of her walls.  She wanted a permanent solution to the problem for good. 

Our Installation team installed a WaterGuard drainage system to collect all ground water that would seep up through the floor and wall joint.  As well we installed a wall barrier using CleanSpace Wall System to protect the walls from moisture, mold, etc.   We installed a new SuperSump Pump System to collect the water and will discharge outside away from her home. 

Before:

This home in New Richland, MN was experiencing serious water intrusion that left the basement damp, musty, and largely unusable. Water was seeping in where the wall met the floor, and pooling during heavy rains. The constant moisture threatened the integrity of the foundation and created the ideal environment for mold and mildew. The homeowner needed a long-term solution that would keep the space dry and help preserve the value of their home.

After:

In just two days, our team installed a full waterproofing system to permanently address the issue. We began by placing WaterGuard, a specialized interior drainage system, along the perimeter of the basement floor. Unlike traditional French drains, WaterGuard is engineered to sit on top of the footing, preventing clogs from soil and debris.

We then lined the walls with CleanSpace, a heavy-duty vapor barrier that prevents moisture and vapor from passing through the foundation walls. This not only keeps the basement dry but also helps improve overall air quality in the home.

To complete the system, we installed a SuperSump, a high-performance sump pump system with a cast-iron Zoeller pump, airtight lid, and WaterWatch alarm to provide reliable water removal and peace of mind.

With this system in place, the homeowner now has a dry, healthy basement and gained valuable usable square footage. This not only improves daily living but also adds long-term resale value to the home.
