They had struggled with this issue for years, and were ready to find a permanent solution to take care of this hassle.

A homeowner in Adrian, MN was dealing with a common but frustrating issue - a wet basement. Water seepage along the foundation walls and floor made the space damp and uninviting. Musty odors were becoming more noticeable, and the homeowner was concerned about potential mold growth and damage to possessions they stored in the space. They knew it was time to find a permanent solution.

Our team inspected the basement and recommended a custom waterproofing system using CleanSpace and WaterGuard. We installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system along the perimeter of the basement floor to capture incoming water before it even reaches the basement space. Then, we sealed the walls with CleanSpace, a durable vapor barrier that helps control moisture, humidity, and mold risk.

The result? This Adrian basement is now clean, dry, and protected from future water intrusion. The homeowner has peace of mind knowing their space is healthier and more functional, whether they use it for storage or plan to finish it down the road.

This homeowner in Adrian, MN had been dealing with a wet basement for years. Water intrusion was becoming more frequent after heavy rains and snow melts, leading to musty odors, damp walls, and a growing concern about long-term damage to the foundation and indoor air quality. Like many Minnesota basements, hydrostatic pressure was forcing groundwater in through the joints where the floor and the wall meet. The homeowner knew it was time to call in a professional for a permanent solution.

After reaching out to our team, our System Design Specialist performed a thorough inspection and recommended a customized waterproofing system. We installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, which is designed to capture water seepage at the most common entry points and channel it directly to a newly installed SuperSump Sump Pump System. This powerful sump pump helps efficiently remove water from the home and features a high-quality liner and airtight lid. To complete the system, we used CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier along the basement walls. This durable liner keeps moisture and vapor from seeping through and gives the basement a cleaner, brighter look.

Now, this Adrian homeowner can enjoy a dry, healthy basement with peace of mind. The waterproofing system works seamlessly behind the scenes to protect the home year-round. No more puddles, no more musty smells, just a basement that's ready for storage, finishing, or whatever they choose to do with their reclaimed space.

When a homeowner from Marietta, MN, first contacted Complete Basement Systems, it wasn't for his own home; it was for his church. The church basement had ongoing water issues, and they needed a permanent solution they could trust.

After seeing firsthand how our team transformed the church basement and eliminated the water problems, he knew exactly who to call when it came time to address concerns in his own home.

Like many Minnesota homeowners, he wanted to protect his basement from future water intrusion and make sure the space remained dry, safe, and usable for years to come. Most importantly, he wanted a solution he could count on for the rest of his life without constantly worrying about the next heavy rain.

Our team designed a custom waterproofing system featuring our WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. WaterGuard captures water before it can reach the basement floor and directs it safely to the SuperSump, which then pumps it away from the home.

Today, this Marietta homeowner has the confidence of knowing his basement is protected by a reliable waterproofing system. What started as a successful project at his church turned into a lasting partnership, helping him protect the home he plans to enjoy for many years to come.

The before and after photo shows a typical sump pump that so many homeowners have in their homes. Not only was this sump pump ineffective, but because it wasn't sealed, gases and moisture could enter the home, which is a health concern. Our sump pump system is fully encapsulated, and this homeowner has a battery backup system as well, so if the power goes out, the sump pump will keep working, ensuring a dry space regardless of the weather!
