Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Zimmerman, MN was struggling with a cold, musty crawl space that made their home less comfortable and less energy efficient. The exposed dirt floor and falling insulation contributed to moisture issues, odors, and uneven temperatures throughout the house.

Our team encapsulated the crawl space using our CleanSpace system, sealing it off from moisture and outside air. The result is a clean, dry, and energy-efficient space that improves the overall comfort and air quality of the home.

Complete Basement Systems has a fully staffed service department to inspect and maintain the sump pump and waterproofing systems installed.  

It is a recommended service every 12-15 months.  We inspect to find problems that could cause a flood before they find the customer.  We clean out the sump pump liner and free it of silt and mud.  

Our customer in Nowthen, MN recently had their first service after installation in July 2016.  A service was performed to clean the SuperSump pump liner.  

Our customer David & Kathleen in Nowthen, MN contacted Complete Basement Systems because of a leaking crawlspace on one wall. 

Our system design specialist, Ryan Brenner designed a perimeter waterproofing system to collect the water that was coming in and a vapor barrier system for the walls to prevent from moisture, mold, etc. 

The installation team installed WaterGuard along the perimeter and CleanSpace Wall System along the crawl space block walls.    

David M. of Ramsey, MN contacted Complete Basement Systems because he noticed some blocks that are pushed in and had some noticable cracks.  

The PowerBrace Wall System from Complete Basement Systems will permanently stabilize your home's foundation walls.  They are customer fit to the foundation wall height and secured tight against the basement wall with brackets to anchor to the floor joist.  

Our customer liked the interior solution and avoiding disruption to the exterior yard to correct the problem.  The system is also warrantied for the life of the home that the stabilized foundation wall will not experience any further movement. 

This homeowner had been dealing with water intrusion through multiple sources, the basement windows, walls, and even the floor. Each rainfall brought new signs of moisture, leaving damp spots, musty odors, and growing concern about potential long-term damage. After several attempts to manage the issue on his own, he decided it was time to find a permanent, professional solution that would truly keep his basement dry.

Our team installed a full-perimeter WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture water at the base of the walls and direct it safely to a new SuperSump pump system. To address moisture coming through the walls, we lined them with CleanSpace vapor barrier, creating a clean, bright surface that seals out humidity and directs any seepage down into the drainage system. We also replaced the old, leaky window with a durable EverLast basement window, designed to resist rot, rust, and water intrusion.

Now, the basement is completely dry, protected, and ready to use — with a system built to perform year-round and backed by a transferable warranty for lasting peace of mind.
