Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When this couple in Mankato first worked with us, we helped address part of their basement waterproofing concerns. But over time, they began noticing water leaking into the unfinished section that hadn’t been protected yet. Signs of water damage started to appear, and to make matters worse, several basement walls were beginning to bow inward from outside pressure. Wanting a permanent solution from a team they already trusted, they gave us another call to fully protect their home.

Our crew designed a complete waterproofing and stabilization system to solve the problem for good. We installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement perimeter, paired it with CleanSpace wall protection, and added a SuperSump system with an UltraSump battery backup to keep water moving out of the home even during power outages. To address the structural concerns, we reinforced the bowing walls with PowerBraces for long-term stability. With all systems working together, this Mankato basement is now dry, secure, and protected with a complete solution built to deliver lasting results.

For years, this homeowner in Mankato dealt with ongoing water intrusion in their basement. What started as occasional leaks eventually caused enough damage that they had to tear out most of the partially finished basement, exposing the block walls and concrete floors underneath. Tired of worrying every time it rained, they called our team for a permanent solution. After a full inspection, we recommended a complete perimeter waterproofing system using WaterGuard drain tile, CleanSpace wall protection, and a SuperSump system with an UltraSump battery backup. Together, these systems work to capture water before it reaches the basement and safely pump it away from the home, even during power outages. Now, instead of dealing with stress and cleanup, the homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their basement is protected for good by the highest quality products available.

These homeowners called us to discuss their wet basement. They had water throughout the basement and had removed the finishings. They wanted us to waterproof before they refinished the space. In this small home, the basement was used as extra living space. It was necessary to keep it safe and dry.

After discussing the situation and having our Design Specialist Ron take a look, they decided on a full perimeter WaterGuard System, a SuperSump sump pump, a new discharge system and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.

We can now guarantee their space will be dry!

This homeowner in St. Peter, MN, had been dealing with ongoing crawlspace issues that were only getting worse over time. Their old vapor barrier was failing, insulation was sagging and falling down, and the floors above the crawlspace felt noticeably cold, especially during Minnesota winters. On top of that, musty odors were making their way into the home, raising concerns about air quality and overall comfort. After putting up with the problem long enough, they were ready for a permanent solution.

Our team designed a comprehensive fix starting with a CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system to seal off moisture and create a clean, dry environment. To manage any water intrusion, we installed a SuperSump system paired with an UltraSump battery backup, ensuring reliable performance even during power outages. Finally, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity and improve air quality throughout the home. The result is a healthier, more energy-efficient space with warmer floors, no musty smells, and long-term peace of mind.

Reese was recommended by a friend, has an early 60's basement, cement block, cracks in foundation, water when it rains and seepage through walls in basement.  They contacted us at Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems and we came up with a solution for there problems. By installing our WaterGuard drain tile, SuperSump Plus & UltraSump 4 they don't have to worry about cleaning up the areas in her basement that she was having problems with.  With the addition of the CleanSpace Wall System it also improved the look of the walls in the basement!
