Before & After Photos

This couple reached out to us after recently purchasing their home. While the basement was mostly finished, they noticed signs of water intrusion. Our System Design Specialist quickly inspected the area and discovered that the previous waterproofing system wasn’t doing its job.

We crafted a customized solution to tackle the problem head-on. Our team installed a WaterGuard Drainage System, CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump and UltraSump Sump Systems, and also rerouted the discharge line to ensure proper drainage away from the home when the pump kicks on.

Thanks to these upgrades, the homeowners can now confidently refinish their basement, knowing it will stay dry for good!

This North Mankato couple loved their home, but their basement told a different story. Over the years, they dealt with ongoing water intrusion that left parts of the basement damp, musty, and unreliable for storage or future use. What made the situation even more frustrating was that they had already invested in “waterproofing” in the past. Unfortunately, that earlier solution didn’t hold up over time. Water continued to find its way in during heavy rains, leaving them worried about long-term damage, mold, and the value of their home.

They knew they didn’t want another temporary fix. They wanted answers, and more importantly, a system that would actually works.

We started by identifying why the previous waterproofing failed and where water was truly entering the basement. From there, we designed a complete, permanent solution tailored to their home.

We installed WaterGuard, an interior drainage system that captures wall and floor seepage before it ever reaches the basement space. To protect the walls and guide moisture into the system, we added CleanSpace, creating a clean, bright, and controlled environment while preventing moisture vapor from entering the basement air. Finally, we installed a SuperSump equipped with an UltraSump battery backup, giving the homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement would stay dry, even during power outages or severe storms.

Today, this North Mankato basement is dry, protected, and dependable. No more wet floors. No more stress during rainstorms. Just confidence that the problem has been fixed for good.

If you’ve already tried waterproofing and it didn’t last, you’re not alone. Many systems fail because they don’t address the root cause of water intrusion. Our professionally designed system, one that manages water, protects the structure, and provides backup protection, can make all the difference.

If your basement has water issues, even after previous repairs, there is a permanent solution. This North Mankato couple is living proof.

Before waterproofing, this basement showed clear signs of ongoing moisture intrusion. Water was entering along the foundation walls, leaving visible staining and damp block, classic indicators of hydrostatic pressure pushing water through the masonry. The space felt cold, unfinished, and unreliable, making it unusable for storage or future living space. Like many homeowners, they knew ignoring the problem would only lead to bigger issues down the road.

After installing a complete waterproofing system, this basement is now dry, protected, and ready for whatever the homeowner wants to use it for. We installed WaterGuard, an interior perimeter drainage system designed to capture wall and floor seepage and safely direct it away from the foundation. To further protect the space, we added CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that seals the walls, blocks moisture, and creates a cleaner, brighter environment.

Now this home is no longer vulnerable to water intrusion, just a dry, dependable space with guaranteed protection and peace of mind.

These photos show part of the WaterGuard system that the crew installed. Not pictured, but to the right, is where they also put in a SuperSump pump.

Our Mankato homeowner had an existing sump pump that just couldn't keep up with the amount of water that was attempting to enter his basement space. Oftentimes, generic sump pumps only come with one pumping system that isn't able to remove enough water out of the space fast enough. That's where the TripleSafe Sump Pump comes in, which removes 6,200 gallons per hour!
