Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN reached out to us about persistent basement water issues in her home, originally built in 1935 and owned by her since 1987. Over the years, she had been dealing with water seeping in through the foundation walls, leading to visible signs of damage like peeling surfaces and damp conditions. With concerns about potential mold growth and the risk of ruining stored belongings, she knew it was time to find a reliable, long-term basement waterproofing solution. She wanted peace of mind and a basement space she could actually use for storage without worry.

After a thorough inspection, our System Design Specialist recommended a proven combination of CleanSpace wall system, WaterGuard interior drainage system, and a SuperSump sump pump to fully address the issue. These industry-leading basement waterproofing solutions work together to capture wall seepage, direct water away from the foundation, and efficiently pump it out of the home. The result is a clean, dry, and healthy basement environment. Now, this St. Paul homeowner can confidently store her belongings and enjoy a usable basement space without the stress of water intrusion or moisture-related damage.

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.  

For years, this Lakeville homeowner had been battling water in her basement. No matter how many DIY fixes she tried, the dampness and leaks always found their way back. After one too many rainy days and cleaning puddles off the floor, she finally threw in the towel and decided it was time to call in the professionals.

When our System Design Specialist arrived, it was clear she had already started the process of reclaiming her basement. She had parts of it partially demoed in preparation for something better. What she needed now was a permanent waterproofing solution to give her peace of mind and a clean, dry space she could confidently refinish for her family.

Our team installed a full perimeter WaterGuard drainage system to capture and direct water away from the walls and floor. A SuperSump pump system was added to efficiently remove the collected water, while the IceGuard and LawnScape discharge system ensured the water exits the home safely in every season. Finally, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier was applied to the walls to brighten up the space and keep moisture and musty odors at bay.

Now, her basement feels fresh, bright, and ready for its next chapter. With the new waterproofing system in place, she can finally focus on turning the space into the comfortable, functional area her family has always wanted, without worrying about water sneaking back in.

Our repeat customer in Burnsville, MN contacted Complete Basement Systems to waterproof the other area of their basement.  Sometimes customers don't always have the problem on all four walls and elect to only do the area that is currently experiencing an issue.  Over time, water seems to find its way into other sections of the basement and needs the system extended and finished for complete protection.

Complete Basement Systems installed a waterproofing system using WaterGuard and our CleanSpace Wall System was installed partially up the walls for this split-level style home.

Reese was recommended by a friend, has an early 60's basement, cement block, cracks in foundation, water when it rains and seepage through walls in basement.  They contacted us at Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems and we came up with a solution for there problems. By installing our WaterGuard drain tile, SuperSump Plus & UltraSump 4 they don't have to worry about cleaning up the areas in her basement that she was having problems with.  With the addition of the CleanSpace Wall System it also improved the look of the walls in the basement!
