"Water proofing very good results. BUT Caution regarding floor repair from ANY contractor. Make sure you discuss what the floor repair will look like. Mine is not level, and Much rougher Than original floor. Another contractor said it was better than He typically sees. This was done several years ago. Sorry about the late review."

"Eric and Carl took care of a leak into my basement coming in through cracks the mortar. He used a silicone solution to create a barrier preventing future leaks and put up new drywall in just a couple of visits. Eric was very easy going and I was comfortable with him in my home. Carl was my dogs favorite contractor. Sorry Eric! Highly recommend Ericâ s company, they are great to work with and flexible as well which was a plus!"

"They completed it in 2 days and I havent had an issue since the basement was waterproofed. However, they did forget to plan the initial inspection prior to the work as part of the permit. The city I live in ended up reaching out near the end of the permit date and I didnt know about it until then. I reached out to the project manager for my project at Acculevel about it and they did handle that issue promptly."

"In 2013 we started investigating the replacement of our water heater. It was 20 years old but it was not having problems (yet). We wanted to try to avoid having a hot water problem in the future so we started the replacement investigation process. I called several contractors and got competitive bids but decided to put it off until 2014. Late this winter (20140 ) I noticed water on top of the water heater with some dripping down the side so we knew our time with this water heater was about up. I called John at Northern Plumbing again. He remembered our conversation the previous year. He was near us, very straight forward, and he made me comfortable with his experience level and confidence in phone conversations. He answered all my questions and he quoted the same price again for removal an replacement. We agreed on a date to do the job. Without prompting John promised that we would have hot water from the new hot water heater on the replacement date. This was expected but reassuring to hear. Chuck was the plumber assigned to the job, He came out to inspect the area in the basement where the work needed to be done. He addressed my questions and issues regarding access and removal of the old water heater. Chuck determined the job would require a new water shut off valve, an upgraded gas valve to meet building code, and required disconnecting existing furnace gas line to allow for removal of the existing heater. He quoted an additional $150 for these items. Chuck needed to leave to get the new water heater from the supplier since my unit had to be used for a previous job. Chuck returned shortly and started to work. He removed his boots on many trips in and out and protected the carpets with tarps when removing the old water heater. The work went well and the workmanship was excellent. He got the job done start to finish in about 4 hours. As John promised we had hot water again that evening. The new water heater continues to work great. I would recommend Northern Plumbing in the future for similar work. I received the City Inspection paper work yesterday so all I have to do is schedule the city to come out and inspect the work and this job will be finished. Overall it was great working with these guys!!!

"We had them find source of leak in the basement ceiling. The guy put on shoe cover when he entered house. Thoroughly checks the source and was able to figure it out. However, the fix requires tile work instead, so, we have to find another contractor to fix the bathroom wall tiles. Good clean job. Very thorough and professional."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

For Minneapolis homes, use polymer-modified membranes and dimpled drainage boards for exterior walls to combat freeze-thaw cycles. Install perforated PVC drain tile below the frost line to manage groundwater. Inside, opt for a sump pump with battery backup and a high-capacity dehumidifier. Rigid foam insulation and a vapor barrier rated for cold climates help protect against moisture intrusion year-round.

Helpful?

In Minneapolis, interior basement waterproofing typically takes one to seven days, but exterior projects can extend to three weeks due to clay soil and weather. Permit processing and inspections may add time, especially in older neighborhoods. Scheduling during the dry season, usually late spring to early fall, helps avoid delays from rain or snowmelt and ensures more predictable project timelines.

Helpful?

In Minneapolis, homeowners often overlook how the city’s flat grading and clay-heavy soil impact drainage. Focusing solely on interior fixes without addressing exterior grading or gutter systems is a frequent error. Many also underestimate the importance of scheduling around spring thaw, which can reveal hidden leaks. Failing to confirm contractors’ experience with older Minneapolis foundations can lead to incomplete or ineffective waterproofing.

Helpful?

In Minneapolis, consider the impact of heavy spring snowmelt and summer storms on water intrusion risks. The city’s clay soil slows drainage, making proper grading and downspout extensions crucial. Urban lots may restrict excavation access, especially near mature trees protected by local rules. If your home is historic, be aware that older masonry or stone foundations may require specialized waterproofing techniques for lasting results.

Helpful?

In Minneapolis, unexpected costs often arise from discovering foundation cracks or outdated drainage systems during excavation. Homeowners may also face extra charges for specialized equipment to manage dense clay soil, or for rerouting utilities in historic neighborhoods. Additional expenses can occur if mold or structural issues are found behind finished walls, or if city code requires upgrades to sump pump discharge or window wells.
