Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This crawl space was ready for a makeover. It was full of debris and exposed to the bare ground. This allowed pests as well as cold and damp air to enter the home. The conditions were far from ideal, and the homeowner knew something had to change to protect their home and improve energy efficiency.

We gave this crawl space a total upgrade with our CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The result? A sealed, moisture-resistant barrier that transforms the space into a clean, dry, and more functional part of the home. Not only does it help keep floors warmer, but it also protects the foundation and improves indoor air quality.

When this homeowner in Buffalo, MN reached out to us, they were tired of dealing with a cold, musty crawl space that made their home feel less comfortable and energy efficient. They wanted a cleaner, healthier environment and a long-term solution that would protect their home from moisture and mold.

After inspecting the crawl space, we recommended our CleanSpace Encapsulation System, a reliable, durable solution designed to completely seal off the crawl space from outside elements. We installed a heavy-duty CleanSpace vapor barrier along the floors and walls of the crawl space, creating a bright, clean look while locking out moisture, drafts, and unwanted pests.

Benefits of CleanSpace Encapsulation:

• Improved Energy Efficiency: By sealing the crawl space, we helped reduce drafts and heat loss, making the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

• Better Air Quality: Encapsulation helps prevent mold, mildew, and allergens from entering the living space.

• Protection Against Moisture Damage: CleanSpace keeps moisture out, which helps prevent wood rot, rusted HVAC components, and structural damage.

• Increased Storage Potential: The clean, dry space can now safely be used for storage.

• Peace of Mind: With the crawl space sealed and protected, the homeowner no longer has to worry about hidden moisture problems beneath their home.

Now this homeowner is happy with the space, her air quality, and her energy use. Win-WIn.

This homeowner called with a very common issue. They had an old wooden window well that needed to be replaced. The wood was rotting and starting to push in. We knew right away they would be great candidates for our RockWell Window Well.

When our Design Specialist Ryan met with the homeowners, he explained to them the benefits of the Rockwell. The Rockwell is a solid, one-piece design that effectively seals out moisture and soil made of reinforced plastic that won't corrode or deteriorate even in extreme weather. It is an attractive, maintenance-free product that looks like real stone. A huge improvement over rotting wood.

The homeowner agreed that this was the best option and our production team was sent out to install. The installation took only one day, and the homeowner had a beautiful, functional, and safe new window well to be proud of.

Here's a home that our crew installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump in. This is a heavy duty pump that has three pumps to give you complete protection. If your first pump fails, the second one takes over. If your first pump cannot keep up, then it will add a more powerful second pump run at the same time- more than double capacity. If your power goes out, an Ultrasump Battery back-up pump takes over. The best part about it is that it's all automatic!

John & Barb B. of Sauk Rapids, MN called on Complete Basement Systems for help with water getting into their finished basement of a home they have lived at for over 13 years.  

They had an existing sump pump system and draintile, but were still getting water coming in and were tired of the clean up involved after each time this would happen to them.

Complete Basement Systems did a complete perimeter waterproofing system around their home, along with a vapor barrier on the walls that would protect any future finished walls they would have.  We also installed the King of sump pump systems giving them triple the protection with the TripleSafe Sump Pump System.  

This system will continue to pump out water if the primary pump #1 fails, and should the secondary pump #2 stop, the TripleSafe has a battery operated backup system called the UltraSump Battery Back Up Pumping System.

This is the recommended sump pump system especially for a plan to finish your basement.
