Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems serving Dakota, MN

This townhome was facing a serious seepage issue, threatening valuable usable space and compromising air quality. Our System Design Specialist worked closely with the property manager to find the perfect solution—our WaterGuard System.

Unlike traditional French drains that are installed outside the foundation and prone to clogging with silt or plant roots, WaterGuard is placed inside the basement, ensuring long-term reliability. Once installed, it remains nearly invisible, with fresh cement poured overtop to create a smooth, even surface—seamlessly integrating with the rest of the basement floor.

A homeowner in Eagan, MN, reached out to us after noticing his basement walls beginning to bow inward. While the walls hadn’t failed, he knew this was not something to ignore, and wanted to address the issue before it became more serious and more costly.

After a thorough inspection, we recommended installing PowerBraces, a proven solution designed to stabilize bowing basement walls and prevent further movement. The homeowner appreciated that PowerBraces provide long-term support and can even help straighten walls over time without the need for major excavation. Our team installed the system efficiently, giving the walls the reinforcement they needed for lasting peace of mind.

While we were there, the homeowner also wanted to take care of another concern. His sump pump was outdated and nearing the end of its lifespan. To ensure his basement stayed dry during heavy rains or power outages, we upgraded him to a top-of-the-line sump pump system with a battery backup. This new setup offers reliable protection and added security, even when the power goes out.

By addressing both the structural issue and the water protection at the same time, this homeowner now has a basement that’s stronger, safer, and better prepared for the future. Another homeowner confident that small problems won’t turn into big ones.
