Waterproofing is one of the most important steps in protecting a home’s foundation.
Without proper protection, moisture can begin affecting your basement or foundation as soon as the home is complete—or even earlier.
In Minnesota, factors like heavy rain, snowmelt, and soil conditions create constant moisture around foundations, increasing the risk of water intrusion and long-term damage.
Waterproofing helps prevent:
Addressing waterproofing during construction is significantly more effective than trying to fix water issues later.
We work closely with builders to ensure waterproofing systems are installed efficiently and correctly.
Builder Benefits

These factors create ongoing pressure around foundation walls, making proper waterproofing critical for long-term durability.
Even newly built homes are vulnerable to water issues if waterproofing isn’t done correctly.
Common causes include:
When soil becomes saturated, water pressure builds and can force moisture through even minor openings.
Waterproofing isn’t just about meeting code—it’s about
protecting the home for years to come.

Waterproofing requirements vary, but it is strongly recommended to protect foundations from moisture and long-term damage.
Waterproofing is typically installed after the foundation is built and before backfilling occurs.
Exterior waterproofing is critical, but combining it with proper drainage systems provides the best protection.
No system can eliminate all risk, but proper waterproofing significantly reduces the likelihood of water intrusion.
Leaks in new homes are often caused by poor drainage, improper installation, or environmental conditions like heavy rain and snowmelt.
