Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

After purchasing his home in St. Paul two years ago, this homeowner quickly found himself in a constant battle with water in his basement. Every heavy rain brought new concerns, and over time, moisture led to visible mold and an overall damp, musty environment. Frustrated with temporary fixes and tired of an unusable space, he knew it was time for a permanent solution. Especially with plans to one day finish the basement and turn it into a functional part of his home.

Our team created a customized waterproofing system designed to eliminate the problem for good. We installed our WaterGuard interior drainage system to capture water at the source, paired it with a powerful SuperSump to efficiently remove water from the home, and finished the space with CleanSpace to create a clean, dry barrier along the walls. The transformation was immediate. What was once a damp, mold-prone basement is now a dry, safe, and healthy space. With water issues resolved, the homeowner can confidently move forward with plans to finish the basement, turning it from an eyesore into a valuable extension of his home.
