Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Before:

This homeowner wanted a major basement upgrade. Water intrusion had led to musty odors, visible staining on the walls, and ongoing moisture issues. The old basement window was outdated and not up to safety code. The foundation walls were bowing inward, raising concerns about long-term structural stability.

After:

We gave this basement a full upgrade, starting with the installation of a RockWell Egress Window, which added natural light, fresh air, and a code-compliant escape route. Next, we addressed the water issues by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system along the perimeter to collect and direct water to a sump pump system. To protect the walls from moisture and direct it into the WaterGuard, we applied CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, giving the space a bright, clean look. Finally, we stabilized the bowing foundation walls using PowerBrace I-beams, which are fully adjustable to help potentially straighten the wall over time.

Now, the basement is dry, bright, and structurally sound, ready for finishing or storage with total peace of mind.

Our repeat customer in Burnsville, MN contacted Complete Basement Systems to waterproof the other area of their basement.  Sometimes customers don't always have the problem on all four walls and elect to only do the area that is currently experiencing an issue.  Over time, water seems to find its way into other sections of the basement and needs the system extended and finished for complete protection.

Complete Basement Systems installed a waterproofing system using WaterGuard and our CleanSpace Wall System was installed partially up the walls for this split-level style home.

Our customer in Maple Grove had a metal egress window well and wanted to get an estimate to replace it with a better quality egress window.  

Our installation team installed a RockWell Egress Window with a cover which the customers really liked to avoid the debris that got into their old window well previously without a cover. 

Malinda J. of Kenyon was always getting water through floor cracks in the basement when it would rain.  She didn't have a sump pump in the basement either.  After meeting with our system design specialist at her home to inspect the problems she was having, she could see how the interior solution would completely eliminate her ongoing problem with water seepage.  

The installation team installed a perimeter waterproofing system using WaterGuard along the inside of her basement.  Her walls we also protected with a vapor barrier, CleanSpace Wall System leaving a nice clean look to the basement.  We added a SuperSump pump system that will collect the water that enters the foundation at any entry point.

Our customer had this to say upon the completion of her project:

"They cleaned up after they we're done , was very respectful of my home and belongings.   They did a wonderful job, could have not asked for better"

For years this Plymouth home suffered from cracks in the foundation, which caused water damage, air pollutants, and a headache for the homeowners.  Design Specialist Jason Galles worked with the homeowners to design a plan that was both within their budget and accomplished their goals of ensuring that their basement walls worked the way they needed to in order to support the home for years to come.
