Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our Mankato homeowner had an existing sump pump that just couldn't keep up with the amount of water that was attempting to enter his basement space. Oftentimes, generic sump pumps only come with one pumping system that isn't able to remove enough water out of the space fast enough. That's where the TripleSafe Sump Pump comes in, which removes 6,200 gallons per hour!

Mankato homeowners had a major moisture problem throughout their entire basement. From a lack of drainage to remove moisture from the space to mildew-friendly wood paneling that collected and retained moisture, this space needed a complete overhaul in order to be livable and safe for the family. The crew worked to install a full perimeter waterproofing system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier so that the family can finish the space to their preference knowing that it will stay dry, livable, and safe!

Our previous customer in Mankato contacted Complete Basement Systems to address a cracked foundation wall in their basement.  We had installed the PowerBrace wall system on a different wall years ago and over time hydrostatic pressure builds and causes pressure on walls. 

This Mankato homeowner stopped by our booth at the 2024 Mankato Home Show after seeing we did crawlspace work. We scheduled a time to have our Design Specialist Ronald go check out his space to see if we could help out with the concerns he had. Ronald recommended our CleanSpace System and Drainage Matting. 

This homeowner could say goodbye to the troubles that come with a dirt crawl space. The innovative CleanSpace system stops insects and rodents, cold floors, and high moisture in your crawlspace. It separates your home from the ground creating a healthier and warmer house.

After 15 years of battling water issues every time it rained or snow melted, this homeowner was ready for a change. With shifting basement walls, repeated flooding, and thousands spent replacing damaged appliances, they knew the problem wasn’t going away on its own. Once a finished space, their basement had been stripped down to bare essentials—until now. With our expert waterproofing solution, they finally have the dry, safe basement they’ve always wanted.
