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.

After 40 years of living in their Roseville, MN home, this homeowner had finally reached their last nerve with ongoing water intrusion. Throughout the entire time they had owned the home, they had dealt with water issues in the basement, making it a frustrating, recurring problem they were ready to put behind them.

Because they plan to spend the rest of their lives in the home, finding a permanent solution had become a necessity rather than an option. After meeting with several different basement waterproofing companies, they chose Complete Basement Systems to take care of the problem.

Our team installed a complete waterproofing system designed to keep the basement dry and protected for years to come. The project included our WaterGuard below-floor drainage system, CleanSpace wall system, and a TripleSafe sump pump system to collect and safely remove water from the basement.

With the new system in place, the homeowner can finally stop worrying about the next rainstorm bringing more water into their basement. After four decades of dealing with water intrusion, they now have the peace of mind that comes with a professionally waterproofed basement and a home they can enjoy for many years to come.

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.
