Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

Jerri & Dan of Roseville, MN had water issues in a few rooms in their basement and was seeking a company to help with preventing water from coming in, searching online, they found Complete Basement Systems.  

They had two sump pump systems in their basement and they weren't the best equipment to protect their finished basement.  

The TripleSafe sump pump system is the King of sump pumps.  This product features three pumps in one.  The first is a primary pump operating at 1/3 hp and will pump 2,220 gallons of water.  The secondary pump is a 1/2 hp zoeller motor cabable of pumping 3,900 gallons of water.

Lastly, the UltraSump Battery Back up is a heavy-duty battery operated back up that can pump more than 11,500 gallons of water on a full charge in the event of a power outage, pump failure, etc. 

After 40 years of living in their Roseville, MN home, this homeowner had finally reached their last nerve with ongoing water intrusion. Throughout the entire time they had owned the home, they had dealt with water issues in the basement, making it a frustrating, recurring problem they were ready to put behind them.

Because they plan to spend the rest of their lives in the home, finding a permanent solution had become a necessity rather than an option. After meeting with several different basement waterproofing companies, they chose Complete Basement Systems to take care of the problem.

Our team installed a complete waterproofing system designed to keep the basement dry and protected for years to come. The project included our WaterGuard below-floor drainage system, CleanSpace wall system, and a TripleSafe sump pump system to collect and safely remove water from the basement.

With the new system in place, the homeowner can finally stop worrying about the next rainstorm bringing more water into their basement. After four decades of dealing with water intrusion, they now have the peace of mind that comes with a professionally waterproofed basement and a home they can enjoy for many years to come.
