Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

A St. Paul, MN homeowner reached out to us after years of dealing with constant water intrusion in their basement. Built in 1917, the home’s aging foundation allowed water to seep in regularly, creating a damp, musty environment that limited how the space could be used. Left unresolved, this ongoing intrusion risked further structural issues and continued damage to the home.

Our System Design Specialist evaluated the property and recommended a complete waterproofing system tailored to protect this historic home. The installation included a WaterGuard interior drainage system to efficiently collect and direct water, CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal walls and prevent moisture penetration, and a SuperSump sump pump with an UltraSump 4 battery backup to ensure reliable pumping even during power outages. To control humidity and air quality, we also installed a Sedona SaniDry dehumidifier. With these proven solutions in place, the basement is now dry, stable, and protected, ensuring this historic home remains safe and usable for the next 100 years.

Complete Basement Systems converted old rusted and broken basement windows into bright, modern easy gliding EverLast Basement Windows.  Our EverLast Basement windows are also energy efficient.  We replaced 3 basement windows for our customer in St Paul, MN for their project as they get ready to re-finish their basement.

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.
