Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Faced with ongoing water intrusion in their Minneapolis home, the homeowners were in a bind, especially wary of disrupting their basement bathroom. As you can see in the before photo, one wall was persistently damp, a lingering reminder of the threat below. Enter our solution: WaterGuard®. Notice in the after photo how seamlessly we integrated this highly effective waterproofing system, offering a custom, non-intrusive approach that respected the homeowner's space and wishes. A year of challenges turned into a future of dry, worry-free living. We're proud to provide not just solutions, but peace of mind—with minimal disruption to your home and lifestyle.

This homeowner was facing a leaky wall on the north side of their basement, especially under the stairs. They were only interested in waterproofing the north wall due to the inconvenience of doing the entire basement as they wished to rent out the basement of the home. We were able to install a WaterGuard along that north side wall, as well as a SingleSafe sump pump system, so the water could be directed to a safe discharge point outside the home. This targeted approach ensured that the north wall would remain dry and the basement could be rented out without any water issues.
