In Waseca, MN, a homeowner reached out to us after being fed up with battling water seeping into her basement. Like so many Minnesota homeowners, she had experienced the familiar struggle that comes with heavy rains, melting snow, and shifting soils, a damp, musty basement that never quite felt dry or secure. What started as a small nuisance had become a real concern, threatening her belongings, her home’s foundation, and her peace of mind.
Our team at Complete Basement Systems knew exactly what she was facing. In Minnesota, waterproofing isn’t just about convenience. It’s about protecting the home from the unique challenges of our climate. When the ground around a home becomes saturated, hydrostatic pressure builds up against the foundation, forcing water through the tiniest cracks and joints. That’s where our proven systems make all the difference.
We installed a WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, which is a smart, low-profile solution that channels water directly to a SuperSump pump system. This powerful sump pump quietly removes water before it can cause damage, keeping the space dry even during heavy rains. To finish the transformation, we lined the walls with CleanSpace, a bright, durable vapor barrier that not only stops moisture but also makes the basement feel clean and welcoming.
Today, her basement is dry, protected, and full of potential again. What was once a source of stress is now a place she can use and enjoy.
This project is more than just another waterproofing job. It’s a story of taking back control, investing in the future, and knowing that no matter what the Minnesota weather brings, this home is ready to stand strong for years to come.
