Welcome Spring 2026!
It's getting close to that time of year in Minnesota when the snow melts, the ground thaws and, unfortunately some of our basements leak.
We have pretty severe conditions in Minnesota and our foundations take a beating, a wet basement is not a question of what, been when. The constant freeze/thaw cycle puts a ton of strain on foundations causing cracking or holes. Add in snow melt and you have direct water entry into your basement.
Great Lakes Waterproofing has been serving the Midwest since 1978 and serving Minnesota and the Twin Cities since 2006, we are locally owned and operated. Specializing in exterior waterproofing, stopping water before it moves through your walls for Real Waterproofing.
