Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Richfield, Minnesota wanted the option of adding additional storage space in their basement, but needed an egress window to make that happen. They worked with System Design Specialist Ryan Brenner to design a space that they can transform into a bedroom when they are ready. Crew Leader Ben Heldt and his crew then worked to make this vision become a reality!

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. If you have any questions about our products that keep your basement dry and safe, please give our office a call or fill out the request for a free estimate on our website!

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.

A Minneapolis, MN homeowner was dealing with ongoing water issues in her basement. Every heavy rain left behind damp floors and musty odors, making the space uncomfortable and unusable. Frustrated and ready for a real solution, she reached out to us after being referred by one of our satisfied customers. She wanted a system that would keep her basement dry for good, not just a temporary fix.

Our team came in with a proven, permanent solution. We installed our CleanSpace wall system to create a moisture barrier, WaterGuard interior drainage system to direct water away from the basement, and a SuperSump sump pump to efficiently remove water from the home. In just two days, we transformed her wet, musty basement into a clean, dry, and protected space. Now she has peace of mind knowing her basement will stay dry, no matter the weather.

Carly from Minneapolis contacted Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems because she wanted to have two small basement windows replaced with egress windows. She had received a quote from 3 other companies, but she felt our design specialist Chris really listened to what they wanted. He worked with them on that other than trying to upsell or ignore what they wanted. Carly was impressed with both the look and quality of the RockWell egress windows Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems installs. She feels confident of the quality product we installed compared to the metal windows the other companies were trying to push.
