700+ Twin Cities basements waterproofed. Free inspection, no pressure, lifetime warranty that transfers when you sell.
Every job: real diagnosis, transparent pricing, lifetime warranty. No upsells, no scare tactics.
WPNE inspects basements across Minneapolis, St. Paul, Anoka County, Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Dakota County, and Washington County. The first step is figuring out where the water is coming from: grade, gutters, hydrostatic pressure, a failed sump, or an aging drain tile system.
Older Minneapolis basements, first-ring suburbs, sand-plain lots, and clay-heavy yards do not all fail the same way. We look at the local pattern before recommending the fix.
We come out, look at it, and tell you what is actually happening, no scare tactics.
Itemized written quote with what is included and what is not. No upsell pressure.
Crew leads with 200+ basements each. Site stays clean. You see every step.
Written, transferable warranty. If it leaks in the area we fixed, we come back and fix it free.
Andrew started Waterproofing Northeast on one idea: tell homeowners the truth about their basement, do the work right, and back it with a written lifetime warranty.
700+ basements later, we're still family-owned. The standard is set by the owner. Every job goes out in writing.

A wet basement in Minneapolis, Fridley, St. Louis Park, or Eagan can have different causes. Soil, house age, grading, and sump setup all matter, so we look at the local conditions before recommending a fix.
Fix: Interior drain tile tied to a sump system, after checking whether grading or gutter discharge was adding to the problem.
Local context: This is a common pattern in older block, limestone, and post-war foundations near Central Avenue.
Fix: Below-slab drainage and pump discharge work sized for spring thaw and repeated storms.
Local context: Fridley jobs often behave differently from Minneapolis jobs because the Anoka Sand Plain moves water quickly.
Fix: Inspection-first diagnosis, then waterproofing scope matched to the foundation age and soil condition.
Local context: South Minneapolis, Northeast, and first-ring neighborhoods can have different soil and drainage patterns. We sort that out before quoting.
Fix: Water-management plan covering downspouts, sump capacity, and interior drainage if the old tile is no longer reliable.
Local context: Many post-war homes have changed grading, older drainage, and finished basements that were added long after the house was built.
Fix: Inspection separates wall seepage, floor-edge pressure, gutter discharge, and old clay-tile drainage before recommending a system.
Local context: Foundation age, lot pitch, alley drainage, and old additions can all change the right answer in St. Paul.
Fix: Sump capacity, discharge routing, and below-slab drainage are checked together so the finished space is protected as a system.
Local context: Roseville sits between older city housing patterns and first-ring suburban grading, so both interior pressure and surface water have to be checked.
Fix: Pump sizing, backup protection, check valve, and discharge routing are evaluated before recommending any concrete work.
Local context: In newer east-metro homes, the right fix is often pump and discharge reliability, not automatically a full drain tile system.
Fix: Water-management plan checks grading, downspouts, sump performance, and interior drainage only when the pressure cannot be managed outside.
Local context: Dakota County clay can hold water against the foundation longer than homeowners expect, especially after freeze-thaw cycles.
I had Northeast Waterproofing do a full basement sump pump install last month after getting quotes from 4 different companies. They were the best priced and it went incredibly well! Everyone was friendly, communicative and efficient. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a sump pump installed. One other thing to note that a lot of people don't think about is that winter/early spring is a great time to do a sump pump install because the ground isn't muddy and saturated with moisture so it's easier to excavate the dirt. This was a helpful tip from the team as well!
Andrew came out to inspect my property and gave great insight into how to best address my waterproofing needs. He acknowledged that since I am not in an emergency situation I can delay such a huge and costly project in lieu of more supporting projects (fix grading, exterior french drain etc.) in other words, rather than try and sell me the most costly service he worked with me in an honest and transparent manner. I would highly recommend considering Waterproofing Northeast.
Andrew and the team at Waterproofing NE were easy and great to work with. For several years I tried different water mitigation methods to prevent water from entering my basement but no method worked well enough to stop the water completely. The system installed by Waterproofing NE has been installed for 9 months now and my house has had no water penetration and the musty smell has nearly disappeared entirely. As a former finish carpenter I care deeply about doing things correctly and quality and I am thoroughly pleased with the team's work.
Free inspection. Written lifetime warranty. No high-pressure sales, ever.
