Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This homeowner was worried about moisture in her basement and a musty smell affecting her air quality. With pests in the crawlspace, she knew it was time for a change. Check out these dramatic before-and-after photos to see how we transformed her crawlspace into a clean, dry, and healthy space!

Before:

This crawlspace was originally covered with a thin, low-quality plastic sheet that did little to protect the home from moisture, odors, or pests. The material was easily torn, poorly sealed, and offered no long-term durability, which allowed humidity and potential air quality issues in the home.

After:

We removed the flimsy liner and replaced it with our durable CleanSpace Encapsulation System. CleanSpace is a heavy-duty, 20-mil vapor barrier that is specifically engineered to seal out moisture and create a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment beneath the home. Unlike the old plastic, CleanSpace is installed with proper sealing, anchoring, and overlapping, creating a continuous barrier across the floor and up the walls. The result? A protected, healthier crawlspace that adds value and peace of mind for years to come.

Malinda J. of Kenyon was always getting water through floor cracks in the basement when it would rain.  She didn't have a sump pump in the basement either.  After meeting with our system design specialist at her home to inspect the problems she was having, she could see how the interior solution would completely eliminate her ongoing problem with water seepage.  

The installation team installed a perimeter waterproofing system using WaterGuard along the inside of her basement.  Her walls we also protected with a vapor barrier, CleanSpace Wall System leaving a nice clean look to the basement.  We added a SuperSump pump system that will collect the water that enters the foundation at any entry point.

Our customer had this to say upon the completion of her project:

"They cleaned up after they we're done , was very respectful of my home and belongings.   They did a wonderful job, could have not asked for better"

Dakota County resident received the Five Star Rated book that lists qualified contractors serving area residents and Mark S. of Farmington, MN contacted Complete Basement Systems about his leaky crawl space.  

A free estimate was scheduled with Mark to meet with our system design specialist to look at the troubled crawl space and determine a solution for him.  

A CleanSpace liner that protects the vapor transmission and water from the concrete block in the crawl space to prevent mold and standing water was installed along with a drainage matting liner underneath the CleanSpace to channel any water seepage into a smartdrain that was installed to collect the water. 

Our customer can now utilize his concrete crawl space for added storage space in his home and have peace of mind that his items are protected.  

For years this Plymouth home suffered from cracks in the foundation, which caused water damage, air pollutants, and a headache for the homeowners.  Design Specialist Jason Galles worked with the homeowners to design a plan that was both within their budget and accomplished their goals of ensuring that their basement walls worked the way they needed to in order to support the home for years to come.
