Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Olivia, MN had grown tired of dealing with water finding its way into their basement after heavy rains. Along with the moisture problems, they noticed their basement walls beginning to bow inward, which is a sign of foundation pressure that could worsen over time if left untreated. Wanting to protect their home's structure and create a dry, usable basement, they contacted us for a free inspection.

After a thorough evaluation, our System Design Specialist recommended a solution to address both the water intrusion and the foundation concerns.

To keep the basement permanently dry, our team installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to capture water before it could reach the living space. We paired it with our CleanSpace wall system, which creates a clean, bright moisture barrier while directing any wall seepage into the drainage system. A SuperSump sump pump was installed to efficiently remove collected water from the home, providing dependable protection during heavy rains.

To stabilize the foundation walls, we installed our PowerBrace System. These beams permanently reinforce bowing basement walls and help prevent further inward movement, giving the homeowner confidence that their foundation is secure.

Now, this Olivia homeowner has a dry, healthier basement and stabilized foundation walls, protecting both their home and their investment for years to come. Instead of worrying every time the forecast calls for rain, they can enjoy lasting peace of mind knowing their basement is built to stay dry and structurally sound.

Fairfax homeowners had moisture entering their basement through their walls and as a result, strong signs of mold and mildew began to appear. Not only was this a hassle, but it was a safety risk to their family. Crew Leader Ben Heldt and his team worked to install a wall vapor barrier and waterproofing system to completely solve the problem. Now, the homeowners can rest assured that their home will stay dry and safe for years to come!

These homeowners had a serious moisture issue in their old basement. They noticed mold in several areas which causes a health risk throughout the home. Our Design Specialist Ronald S decided on a full waterproofing system consisting of our WaterGuard Drain Tiling System, our CleanSpace Wall System, a SuperSump sump pump and our LawnScape Discharge Line with IceGuard.

With this full system in place, the only thing left for the homeowners to worry about is how they are going to use their updated space!

This basement in Hanska, MN had persistent water issues and stained, leaky walls that made the space feel unusable. Water seepage along the floor and foundation walls was creating the perfect environment for mold and damage.

We installed the WaterGuard drain tile system to keep water out for good and added the CleanSpace wall system to seal the walls and brighten the space. The result? A clean, dry, and healthier basement that’s now ready for storage or future finishing.

When this Willmar, MN homeowner called us, she was feeling overwhelmed by the condition of her basement. Moisture concerns were adding up, aging windows were letting in drafts and potential leaks, the walls felt damp, and there were clear signs that water could become a serious issue if left unaddressed. Like many homeowners, she didn’t want a temporary fix. She wanted a complete solution that would take care of everything at once and give her peace of mind moving forward.

After a full inspection, we designed a complete waterproofing system tailored to her home. We replaced the old basement windows to eliminate outside moisture intrusion, then installed our proven WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture water at its entry point. To seal and protect the space, we lined the walls with CleanSpace, creating a clean, bright, and moisture-resistant barrier. Finally, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to ensure reliable, round-the-clock protection, even during heavy rains or power outages.

Now, instead of worrying about water, she has total confidence in her basement. The space is dry, healthier, and ready to be used again, and best of all, backed by a system designed to keep it that way for years to come. If you’re dealing with similar concerns, this is exactly the kind of permanent solution that can turn your basement into a space you can truly rely on.
