Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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. Check out the before and after photos to see the difference for yourself!

We recently installed a SuperSump sump pump system in a Mankato, MN home to put an end to persistent water seepage that was damaging the homeowner’s finished basement. Now, with reliable protection in place, their basement is dry, secure, and ready for everyday living, no matter the weather. 

This homeowner in Mankato faced water issues year-round in her century-old home. Frustrated, she wanted to find a permanent solution. Our Design Specialist Chris met with her to discuss her options. It was decided that a full perimeter WaterGuard Drain System, our CleanSpace Wall System, and a top-of-the-line SuperSump Sump Pump System would be the answer. Our team efficiently installed the system in just one day. They jack-hammered around the perimeter and laid the WaterGuard System in this trench. Next, they applied the CleanSpace Wall System that keeps water vapor out and drains any wall leaks. It is ideal for these old stone-walled basements, as it will conform to any bumps or dips in the wall. The SuperSump was then put in place, featuring the most reliable pump available, a WaterWatch Alarm System, and the patented SuperLiner with Airtight Lid. The crew then laid the new cement over the WaterGuard and around the SuperSump Liner for a seamless floor finish. This completed system gave this old basement a facelift. The CleanSpace gave the walls a nice clean, bright finish. The SuperSump and WaterGuard gave the homeowners peace of mind that they would have a dry basement for many years to come.
