Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in W St Paul, MN were referred to Complete Basement Systems.  They have been in their home for 5 years and had a finished basement with no sump pump system.  Water was finding its way in a few spots and they noticed a smell from the carpeting that smelled throughout the entire perimeter.  Before getting to a remodeling project to refinish their basement, they knew they needed to fix the water problem after talking with their friend who referred them to us.

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.

Our Crew Leader Nate Barke noticed how wet our customer's wall was after demo preparations to install his basement waterproofing system.  Nate designed a system to prevent water from coming in the window area for his customer.  A wall system was installed to prevent his future finished walls from becoming damaged due to water.  Any water that would come through in the future will drain into the new WaterGuard drainage system installed.  

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN reached out to us after dealing with regular water intrusion in their basement. Every time it rained, water would seep through the block walls, leaving behind stains, musty smells, and damp spots on the floor. The constant moisture was making it difficult to keep the basement clean and dry, and they worried about potential mold growth and damage to their belongings.

Our team installed a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system along with the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to permanently seal and protect the basement. The CleanSpace liner stops moisture from passing through the foundation walls, while the WaterGuard system collects and directs any water safely to the sump pump before it can reach the floor.

With these systems in place, the basement is now clean, bright, and dry, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing the space is protected from future water problems.

After living in her St. Paul home for over 20 years, this homeowner had finally had enough of the ongoing water issues in her basement. What started as occasional water intrusion and cleanups had turned into a persistent problem she could no longer ignore, especially since it was limiting how she could use the space.

Ready for a professional, permanent solution, she reached out to our team for help.

One of our experienced System Design Specialists performed a thorough inspection of the basement and took the time to walk her through the best options to keep her home protected for the long haul. Together, they decided on a full perimeter waterproofing system that would stop water intrusion at its source.

Our crew installed:

• The WaterGuard Drain Tile System to capture water before it reaches the basement floor

• The CleanSpace Wall System to create a moisture barrier along the walls

• A powerful SuperSump Sump Pump System to safely remove water from the home

With this complete waterproofing solution in place, she now has the confidence that her basement will stay dry year-round. Best of all, she can finally take advantage of this valuable space in her home, without worrying about water damage ever again.
