Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Brandon & Shelby of Marshall, MN were in the process of selling a home when they noticed a section of the basement wall was bowing inward.  

Overtime block foundation can develop cracks due to hydrostatic pressure against the foundation wall which can cause bowing.  The solution is our patented PowerBrace support system to stabilize the wall from further movement.  Our customer can now sell the home given peace of mind.

These Edgerton homeowners knew one thing for sure; When it rained, their basement walls leaked every single time. They had struggled with this issue for years, and were ready to find a permanent solution to take care of this hassle. They worked with System Design Specialist Dylan Woitas to design a system that both prevented any water from entering the space, but also corrected the bowing walls. Now, the family knows for sure that their basement is dry, livable, and safe!

This Woodstock, MN homeowner had a large horizontal crack on the foundation wall which was causing movement of the entire wall of the home.  The homeowners contacted Complete Basement Systems to solve the problem.

Our System Design Specialist quickly came to evaluate the situation.  He quickly concluded that the foundation wall was unlevel and had shifted due to hydrostatic pressure from the outside causing a lot of pressure on the block foundation wall and needed to be stabilized to prevent the worse from happening, a collapsed wall.

PowerBrace beams were installed to support the foundation wall from further movement.  Why does this happen?  As forces of nature, such as moisture and frost, interact with the soil around your home, that soil expands.  That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing the cracking, bowing and tipping to occur.

If you have a foundation wall crack and notice even the slightest of movement, don't wait!  Contact Complete Basement Systems today and schedule your free estimate. 

Our customer in Lynd, MN found our company at the New Ulm Home Show Booth and saw what we can do to improve the basement space by keeping it dry.  We upgraded their old, failing sump pump system with our SuperSump Premier Pump System which includes the best pump on the market, a powerful Zoeller 1/3 hp cast iron pump that will give our customers the capability of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour. 

Our customer in Lynd, MN noticed Complete Basement Systems booth at the New Ulm home show and inquired about their basement water issues, along with their crawl space.  We completed a job in both their basement and crawl space.  The crawl space project involved sealing their dirt floor crawl space from the earth using a bright white CleanSpace Liner that will allow their basement to be free from odors, mold, and insects from getting into their home.
