Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Plymouth, MN homeowner had been dealing with water intrusion for too long. Seasonal rainfall and snowmelt repeatedly caused moisture and seepage along the perimeter, making it impossible to keep the space dry or consider finishing it. After ongoing frustration and temporary fixes that didn’t last, she contacted Complete Basement Systems for a long-term solution.

During the inspection, our System Design Specialist identified several contributing factors: hydrostatic pressure forcing water through wall and floor joints, inadequate drainage around the foundation, and a lack of an effective sump system. Agreeing on a solution, we scheduled the installation of an integrated waterproofing system.

Our production team installed a full-perimeter WaterGuard interior drainage system, designed to capture water seepage at the cove joint before it reaches the basement floor. A SuperSump Pump System was added to provide reliable pumping capacity with a high-performance liner, airtight lid, and floor drain. To ensure proper discharge and prevent freezing or backup, the system included a discharge system including an IceGuard and LawnScape. The walls were sealed with CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, providing a bright, clean finish while preventing moisture and vapor transmission from the foundation walls.

The result is a fully waterproofed basement with a complete, industry-proven system that protects the home from future water intrusion. With these solutions in place, the homeowner can confidently refinish and utilize the basement as a safe, dry, and valuable extension of the living space.

Our customer in Bloomington, MN was referred to Complete Basement Systems for waterproofing an area in their basement when it would rain.  Complete Basement Systems installed a perimeter WaterGuard Systems, CleanSpace Wall System and a new SuperSump pump system.  

Our customer can rest assured that their basement will remain dry during the next snow melt or spring rain.

The Richfield MN resident asked for a free estimate for his basement water problems. His partially finished space had water coming in during heavy rains and snowmelt in the Spring. Without waterproofing, he was worried about future damage. Our Design Specialist Ronald went to assess the situation. It was determined that a complete waterproofing system was needed to prevent further water problems. We began with the WaterGuard drainage system, designed to effectively solve basement water issues without clogging. WaterGuard collects water at the basement perimeter and safely drains it away. Next, we installed the CleanSpace wall system to prevent water vapor from entering walls and direct wall leaks into the WaterGuard. Following that, we installed the SuperSump and UltraSump Sump System to ensure the basement stays dry even in heavy rains. To complete the project, we added a buried discharge line and IceGuard.

This basement corner was dealing with long-term water intrusion and moisture damage. The block walls showed heavy staining, efflorescence, and deterioration from repeated leaks. Water was seeping in at the cove joint, where the wall meets the floor, leaving behind damp concrete, standing water marks, and visible cracking. The space was musty, unreliable, and unable to be used for storage or living without the constant worry of another wet basement.

With a full waterproofing system installed, this basement has been completely transformed. CleanSpace wall liner now provides a clean, bright, moisture-resistant barrier that directs any wall seepage into the WaterGuard drainage system below the floor. A newly installed sump pump system sits neatly in the corner, ready to quietly and efficiently move water out of the home. The concrete has been restored, and the entire area looks clean, dry, and protected, giving the homeowner confidence and peace of mind for years to come.
