Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When a homeowner in Minneapolis, MN reached out to us, their older home was showing some familiar signs of crawl space trouble, such as musty odors, chilly floors in the winter, and an overall sense of inefficiency in the home’s comfort. Like many older properties in the Twin Cities, this home lacked a proper moisture barrier beneath it, and the crawl space had become a hidden source of problems.

We installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system to completely seal the crawl space from the earth and outside air. This durable, reinforced liner was applied across the crawl space floor and walls, creating a bright, clean, and moisture-resistant barrier. The transformation was immediate; the space was now dry, sealed, and no longer a liability under the home.

A Minneapolis, MN homeowner was dealing with ongoing water issues in her basement. Every heavy rain left behind damp floors and musty odors, making the space uncomfortable and unusable. Frustrated and ready for a real solution, she reached out to us after being referred by one of our satisfied customers. She wanted a system that would keep her basement dry for good, not just a temporary fix.

Our team came in with a proven, permanent solution. We installed our CleanSpace wall system to create a moisture barrier, WaterGuard interior drainage system to direct water away from the basement, and a SuperSump sump pump to efficiently remove water from the home. In just two days, we transformed her wet, musty basement into a clean, dry, and protected space. Now she has peace of mind knowing her basement will stay dry, no matter the weather.

The crawlspace was damp, musty, and unprotected from moisture, leading to potential mold and poor air quality. The old, tattered insulation was inefficient and left the floors above cold. Exposed dirt and unsealed vents allowed humidity and pests to enter freely, creating an unhealthy environment beneath the home.

With full encapsulation using our CleanSpace System, the crawlspace is now clean, dry, and well-protected. Our heavy-duty vapor barrier seals the ground and walls, preventing moisture intrusion. The transformation improves indoor air quality, enhances energy efficiency, and safeguards the home's foundation for years to come.

This Minneapolis homeowner took advantage of our patented ThermalDry flooring as a lasting solution to her wet basement problems.

Here is a great before and after of just what we can do with a nasty crawlspace. Many people don't even think about how much mold & mildew they could be breathing in from their crawlspace let alone what sort of creatures might end up calling that space their home.
