Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

For years, this Lakeville homeowner had been battling water in her basement. No matter how many DIY fixes she tried, the dampness and leaks always found their way back. After one too many rainy days and cleaning puddles off the floor, she finally threw in the towel and decided it was time to call in the professionals.

When our System Design Specialist arrived, it was clear she had already started the process of reclaiming her basement. She had parts of it partially demoed in preparation for something better. What she needed now was a permanent waterproofing solution to give her peace of mind and a clean, dry space she could confidently refinish for her family.

Our team installed a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system to capture and direct water away from the walls and floor. A SuperSump pump system was added to efficiently remove the collected water, while the IceGuard and LawnScape discharge system ensured the water exits the home safely in every season. Finally, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was applied to the walls to brighten up the space and keep moisture and musty odors at bay.

Now, her basement feels fresh, bright, and ready for its next chapter. With the new waterproofing system in place, she can finally focus on turning the space into the comfortable, functional area her family has always wanted, without worrying about water sneaking back in.

A Northfield, MN homeowner had been living with basement water problems since moving into her home back in 1993. Over the years, the situation slowly got worse. Whenever it rained heavily, she could end up with a couple of inches of water on the basement floor. This made the space impossible to use and stressful to deal with every time the weather turned stormy. After putting it off for years, she finally decided it was time to get the problem fixed once and for all.

We designed a waterproofing solution to give her the peace of mind she needed. By installing WaterGuard to collect water at the perimeter, CleanSpace to keep moisture from seeping through the walls, and a SuperSump to pump water safely away, her basement is now protected from future flooding. On top of that, our lifetime transferrable warranty means she never has to worry about water damage again. Now she can confidently use her basement however she wants, knowing it will stay dry for years to come.

This homeowner in Hopkins was dealing with a small, outdated basement window that provided little natural light and little functionality. The space felt dark, closed-in, and lacked a safe emergency exit, something especially important if the basement is ever used as a living or sleeping area.

Our team upgraded the space by installing a RockWell Egress Window system, transforming both the look and usability of the basement. The new, larger window allows for significantly more natural light and fresh air, instantly making the space feel brighter and more inviting. More importantly, the egress window now provides a safe, code-compliant escape route, giving the homeowner peace of mind. Egress windows are designed to meet strict size and accessibility requirements to ensure a safe exit in emergencies. Paired with a durable, stone-textured RockWell window well, this upgrade not only improves safety but also adds curb appeal and long-term value to the home.

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.

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"
