When this Butterfield, MN homeowner reached out to us, he faced a major challenge. His home had a basement workshop where he enjoyed woodworking. Unfortunately, water intrusion threatened his supplies and equipment.

After a thorough inspection, we identified the best long-term solution: our WaterGuard Drain Tile System, paired with two top-of-the-line sump pumps with battery backup. This system will effectively capture and redirect water away from the basement, ensuring it stays dry year-round. The battery backup adds extra security, keeping the system running even during power outages.

Now, he can focus on his woodworking without worrying about water damage. We’re proud to provide a lasting solution and give him the peace of mind he deserves!

A homeowner in St. James, MN, reached out to us after dealing with water issues in their basement. Every time it rained, water seeped along the wall-floor joint, leaving behind musty odors and damp conditions. Over time, the space became completely unusable, as anything that was stored there would be damaged.

Our team put together a permanent waterproofing solution tailored to this homeowner’s needs using a powerful combination of WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and the SuperSump pump system.

The Solution:

• WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor to collect water at the most common point of entry, which is where the wall meets the floor. Unlike traditional drains that can clog with dirt and debris, WaterGuard is installed just below the concrete surface and engineered to stay clean and effective for the long haul.

• CleanSpace Wall System was added to create a vapor barrier and direct any wall moisture straight into the drainage system. It not only brightened up the basement but also sealed out humidity, mold, and mildew.

• And possibly the most important part of the system, we installed a SuperSump, our high-capacity sump pump solution, designed to keep the basement dry even during heavy rainfall or snowmelt. With its airtight lid and built-in WaterWatch Alarm, this pump offers peace of mind and protection around the clock.

The Result:

With this system in place, the basement is now dry, protected, and ready for whatever the homeowner chooses to do! Instead of worrying every time it rained, they now have peace of mind and the freedom to use every inch of their home.

A homeowner in Madelia, Minnesota, contacted us after recurring significant water intrusion issues. During heavy rains, water would seep through the wall cracks and floor joints, leaving the basement damp, musty, and unusable. Additionally, the foundation walls were beginning to lean inward, a common issue in Minnesota due to hydrostatic pressure and soil expansion. Our expert system design specialist went out to design a custom system based on the specific issues in their home.

This was our solution:

• CleanSpace Wall System: We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier on the basement walls to stop moisture, redirect water to the drainage system, and give the basement a clean, bright finish.

• PowerBrace Wall Repair System: To fix the bowing walls, we used PowerBraces, which are I-beams designed to stabilize foundation walls and potentially straighten them over time without any outside excavation.

• WaterGuard Drainage System: To manage the water intrusion, we installed the WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement. This interior drainage system collects water at the base of the wall and directs it safely to the sump pump.

• SuperSump Pump System: At the heart of the waterproofing system is the SuperSump, a high-performance sump pump with a cast-iron, energy-efficient pump and a reliable airtight lid. It ensures any water collected is pumped far away from the home’s foundation.

The Results:

With this combination of products, the basement is now dry, structurally sound, and protected from future water and foundation issues. The CleanSpace and PowerBrace systems not only protect the space but also improve its appearance and usability. This homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their investment is safe from further damage.

If your basement has signs of water damage or bowing walls, don’t wait! Contact us today for a free inspection. Our proven systems like WaterGuard, CleanSpace, PowerBraces, and the SuperSump are designed to permanently solve basement water problems and foundation wall failure.

A homeowner in Madelia, MN had been dealing with basement water issues for years. What began as occasional dampness gradually turned into steady leaks that made the space unusable and raised major concerns about long-term damage. During our inspection, we also discovered significant foundation problems; the basement walls were beginning to bow inward due to soil pressure, a common issue in the area.

To permanently protect the home, we designed a comprehensive repair plan combining both waterproofing and structural stabilization.

We installed WaterGuard, our below-floor drainage system, around the basement perimeter to capture groundwater at its entry point and direct it safely away. To address moisture coming through the walls, we added CleanSpace, a bright, durable liner that creates a clean appearance while guiding any wall seepage down into the WaterGuard system. For reliable pumping performance, even during heavy rains, we installed a SuperSump with an airtight lid and built-in alarm.

To correct the bowing walls and prevent further inward movement, we installed PowerBraces. These steel I-beam support systems immediately stabilize the walls and, over time, can be tightened to help straighten them back toward their original position.

With both the waterproofing system and structural supports in place, the homeowner finally has peace of mind knowing their basement is dry, stable, and protected for the long run. Their home is now safer, healthier, and ready for future use without worry.
