Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This St. James, MN, homeowner had been dealing with a cold, musty crawlspace for years. The old insulation was falling down, the ground was damp, and the space was anything but energy efficient. Not only did it make their floors feel chilly year-round, but it also contributed to high humidity levels in the home, creating musty odors and raising concerns about mold and air quality.

We encapsulated the crawlspace using our CleanSpace vapor barrier system, completely sealing off the area from outside moisture and humidity. The result? A bright, clean, and dry crawlspace that helps improve energy efficiency, reduces allergens, and protects the home from future moisture issues. Now, the homeowners have peace of mind, and warmer floors in the winter!

This homeowner in St. James, MN was struggling with a damp, dirty crawl space that was affecting the overall health of their home. The exposed soil and falling insulation created the perfect environment for moisture, mold growth, and pests. Not only was the crawl space unpleasant, but it also contributed to poor energy efficiency and musty odors inside the home.

Our team transformed this St. James crawl space with a professional encapsulation system. We installed a durable CleanSpace liner to seal the ground and walls, preventing moisture, pests, and outside air from entering. Now, the crawl space is clean, dry, and energy-efficient, helping the homeowner enjoy a healthier, more comfortable home with peace of mind for years to come.

Darroll S. of Sleepy Eye MN contacted Complete Basement Systems to address the musty smell in the basement of his home.  In his previous home in Waseca, MN we installed a Complete system for waterproofing and he really liked the sump pump system.  We updated Daroll's sump pump system with our patented SuperSump Pump System and installed an efficient dehumidifier system that works to drain water from the unit to the sump pump system. 

This family called us to look at their leaky basement. They had enough water to have wet, squishy carpet and mold present. They had plans to refinish the basement so they wanted to make sure the waterproofing they chose to do would be a permanent solution. After assessing the situation, our team determined that installing a full perimeter system would be the most effective way to keep the basement dry permanently. We implemented our WaterGuard Drain Tile System, CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump Plus Sump Pump, and a battery backup. We are so confident in our waterproofing solution that we offer a LIFETIME warranty on our work.

Our customer in Olivia, MN contacted Complete Basement Systems because of multiple foundation cracks in the basement.  Wall anchors were installed already, but still had significant cracks and movement occurring.  An existing beaver system installed had failed these homeowners also and could not comfortably finish their basement with water leaking occasionally.  The solution installed was our PowerBrace beams to support the foundation wall from the inside of the home, along with a bright white vapor barrier called CleanSpace on the walls and an interior waterproofing system replace their old style beaver system.
