Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A St. Paul, MN homeowner reached out to us after years of dealing with constant water intrusion in their basement. Built in 1917, the home’s aging foundation allowed water to seep in regularly, creating a damp, musty environment that limited how the space could be used. Left unresolved, this ongoing intrusion risked further structural issues and continued damage to the home.

Our System Design Specialist evaluated the property and recommended a complete waterproofing system tailored to protect this historic home. The installation included a WaterGuard interior drainage system to efficiently collect and direct water, CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal walls and prevent moisture penetration, and a SuperSump sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup to ensure reliable pumping even during power outages. To control humidity and air quality, we also installed a Sedona SaniDry dehumidifier. With these proven solutions in place, the basement is now dry, stable, and protected, ensuring this historic home remains safe and usable for the next 100 years.

Complete Basement Systems converted old rusted and broken basement windows into bright, modern easy gliding EverLast Basement Windows.  Our EverLast Basement windows are also energy efficient.  We replaced 3 basement windows for our customer in St Paul, MN for their project as they get ready to re-finish their basement.

This home in Mendota Heights, MN was experiencing some water coming through the floor and walls of their foundation.  Our system design specialist designed a permenant solution installing WaterGuard along the base of the foundation and wall under the floor to collect any ground water seepage. He also designed a wall system using CleanSpace Wall System to prevent any moisture from coming in through the walls.  

It was also evident during the inspection, the foundation walls had some movement/bowing occuring.  Our specialist designed the PowerBrace Wall System using steel I-beams to support the foundation wall. 

Homeowners in W St Paul, MN were referred to Complete Basement Systems.  They have been in their home for 5 years and had a finished basement with no sump pump system.  Water was finding its way in a few spots and they noticed a smell from the carpeting that smelled throughout the entire perimeter.  Before getting to a remodeling project to refinish their basement, they knew they needed to fix the water problem after talking with their friend who referred them to us.

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN was ready to do something about their musty, damp basement and finally make the space usable again. Ongoing moisture had left the basement feeling uncomfortable and unreliable, so she reached out to Complete Basement Systems for a professional waterproofing solution. When our team inspected the space, we found that she did already have a sump pump, but it was old and no longer working. That made the SuperSump installation an especially important part of the project, giving the basement a reliable way to remove water and protect the space moving forward.

Along with the new SuperSump system, we also installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture water at the perimeter and our CleanSpace wall system to help create a cleaner, drier environment. Together, these solutions gave the homeowner the dependable waterproofing system she needed to turn her basement into a healthier, more usable part of her home.
