Makeover in Mankato, MN

This customer recently contacted us about the bowing walls in their newly purchased home. They noticed visible cracks and movement of their walls, which raised concerns about the structural integrity of their property. Our System Design Specialist recommended our innovative PowerBrace Wall Support System. To begin the process, our installation team first installed our top-of-the-line CleanSpace Wall System. This remarkable system consists of a bright, clean, and durable vapor barrier specifically designed for basement walls. It is a thick liner that is securely installed with drilled-in fasteners, that effectively covers any uneven or bumpy walls. Not only does it provide an economical solution to conceal unsightly walls, but it also prevents water vapor from seeping through and redirects any wall leaks into our WaterGuard Drain System. The highlight of our solution is the PowerBrace beam system, which we installed to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. These steel beams can be adjusted and tightened over time, effectively halting any further inward movement of the walls. In fact, they have the potential to reverse the effects of wall failure without the need for invasive drilling or digging. Our customer can rest assured that our system will not only address the current concerns with his bowing walls but also ensure the long-term structural integrity of the home.

Newly Waterproofed Basement in North Mankato, MN

This couple reached out to us after recently purchasing their home. While the basement was mostly finished, they noticed signs of water intrusion. Our System Design Specialist quickly inspected the area and discovered that the previous waterproofing system wasn’t doing its job.

We crafted a customized solution to tackle the problem head-on. Our team installed a WaterGuard Drainage System, CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump and UltraSump Sump Systems, and also rerouted the discharge line to ensure proper drainage away from the home when the pump kicks on.

 

Thanks to these upgrades, the homeowners can now confidently refinish their basement, knowing it will stay dry for good!

Crack In Foundation Wall Now Stabilized For Homeowner In Chanhassen, MN

Homeowners in Chanhassen, MN noticed a perfectly straight crack on their unfinished foundation wall in their basement.  Concerned about what they had seen, they did research online for companies specializing in foundation wall repair and scheduled a FREE estimate with Complete Basement Systems.

A representative determined after the inspection that the wall had movement which caused the crack in the foundation to appear.  The foundation movement was caused by moisture and frost that interact with the soil around the home and when the soil expands it results in constant inward force on the foundation wall until it becomes so much pressure which is why the cracks and bowing happened.

The solution is simple.  Our representative showed the homeowners our interior fix using the PowerBrace System.  The zinc plated system is installed to support and stabilize the foundation wall from not incurring any further movement and with minimal maintenance can potentially straighten the wall back into place.

Improved Sump Pump System Installed In Chanhassen, MN

Our customer in Chanhassen has a nicely finished basement and had a sump pump system as old as the home of 14 years and failed on them when a substantial amount of rain fell in the area in 2014.  

When you have a finished basement, you want to keep it that way.  After showing our customer the TripleSafe Sump Pump System and its capabilities and capacity it provides, that's all they needed to hear and it was exactly what they were looking for.

The TripleSafe is the most reliable pumping system keeping your basement dry with triple the protection.  It features a primary pump, secondary pump and a battery operated back up pump.  Should one pump fail and any given time, a secondary pump with begin working or if the capacity reaches a point it needs to work, it goes to work pumping water.  In the event both pumps fail or a power outage happens, the UltraSump Battery Back Up gets the job done.

Maintenance is recommended to inspect the pumps routinely by our service team to ensure to protect your investment in this system to find problems before they find you.  Pumps have a warranty, however they do require replacement over time,
