Like many homeowners in St. Cloud, MN, this customer was tired of dealing with a damp, musty basement. Water seepage had left visible staining on the block walls, moisture marks along the floor, and an overall feeling that the space couldn't be trusted during heavy rain. Instead of continuing to clean up after every wet season, they decided it was time for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Our team installed a custom basement waterproofing system to intercept water before it could reach the living space. The once-stained walls are now protected with a bright, clean wall system that helps direct moisture into the drainage system below, keeping the basement dry and giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind. What was once a damp, unusable basement is now a clean, healthier space they can confidently use for storage or whatever else they choose to do!

Sara & Wes F. of St Bonifacius, MN related to a team member at Complete Basement Systems contacted Nate Barke to inspect a wall that had a crack and would notice water coming in through that crack in their foundation.

The foundation wall is a poured wall and are very common to develop hairline cracks and some of those cracks get wider over time and that is generally caused by shrinkage.  This is typical in new homes and continues for a few years after, sometimes longer.  Injections are a common solution and can work temporarily, however the crack can often get larger and re-leak due to the soil expansion and contraction.  

Our FlexiSpan crack repair system is a permanent solution to control the water coming through the crack of the wall and has a place to drain into a basement waterproofing system. 

This Hollandale, MN homeowner had been battling water intrusion for years. Every heavy rain or snowmelt brought water into their basement, leaving behind damp floors, musty odors, and constant worry. The space was used as a family room and rec room, meant to be a place of comfort and connection, but instead, it became a source of stress. The recurring moisture damaged furniture, made the space feel uninviting and raised concerns about mold and long-term structural issues.

Ready for a permanent solution, the homeowner contacted our team. We installed a full waterproofing system including CleanSpace to seal out moisture along the walls, WaterGuard drainage below the perimeter to capture any seepage, and a SuperSump pump system to move water safely out of the home. The result? A dry, healthy, and reliable basement that’s back to being the family’s favorite hangout and rec space. No more water worries, just peace of mind and a basement they can enjoy year-round.

In Hollandale, MN, a frustrated homeowner was dealing with constant water intrusion every time heavy rain fell or snow melted. The basement had standing water, musty odors, and damaged walls, turning what could be usable space into a damp, uninviting storage area. After years of temporary fixes, they were ready for a permanent waterproofing solution that would actually work.

Our team installed a full waterproofing system using CleanSpace wall liner, WaterGuard interior drainage, and a SuperSump sump pump system. Water is now captured at the source, directed away from the foundation, and safely discharged, keeping the basement clean and dry year-round. The homeowner can finally enjoy peace of mind knowing their basement is protected from future heavy rains and snow melt, all backed by our transferable warranty.
