Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A musty crawlspace was creating major problems for a homeowner in Saint Paul. The couple had started noticing colder floors throughout the main level of the home, along with poor air quality that seemed to worsen over time. They were also concerned after spotting signs of pests making their way into the damp, unprotected crawlspace. After inspecting the area, our team recommended a full encapsulation using our CleanSpace system. By sealing off the crawlspace from moisture and outside air, we created a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient environment beneath the home. The homeowner immediately noticed warmer floors, fresher air, and peace of mind knowing their crawlspace was protected from moisture and unwanted pests for the future.

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN reached out to us about persistent basement water issues in her home, originally built in 1935 and owned by her since 1987. Over the years, she had been dealing with water seeping in through the foundation walls, leading to visible signs of damage like peeling surfaces and damp conditions. With concerns about potential mold growth and the risk of ruining stored belongings, she knew it was time to find a reliable, long-term basement waterproofing solution. She wanted peace of mind and a basement space she could actually use for storage without worry.

After a thorough inspection, our System Design Specialist recommended a proven combination of CleanSpace wall system, WaterGuard interior drainage system, and a SuperSump sump pump to fully address the issue. These industry-leading basement waterproofing solutions work together to capture wall seepage, direct water away from the foundation, and efficiently pump it out of the home. The result is a clean, dry, and healthy basement environment. Now, this St. Paul homeowner can confidently store her belongings and enjoy a usable basement space without the stress of water intrusion or moisture-related damage.

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.
