Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Winthrop, MN homeowner was looking to sell her home but knew that her previously installed waterproofing system was failing. In order to confidently sell her home, she worked with System Design Specialist to design a waterproofing system that kept the basement space dry and safe regardless of weather. Now, she can sell the home with confidence, knowing that the system is warrantied for the life of the home!

When our Design Specialist Ryan went to visit with this homeowner about her water issues in the basement, she decided she also wanted to add an egress as she was going to refinish the basement once it was dry. Adding an egress will allow much more light in than a regular basement window. And since she plans to use this space as additional living space in her home, this egress is designed for someone to be able to escape the basement in case of an emergency such as a fire. Not to mention, it's more aesthetically pleasing.

Let us know if you are interested in adding an egress window to your basement!

Before:

This homeowner was dealing with a wet, leaky basement. Water seepage along the walls had caused visible staining and allowed mold to grow on the porous concrete block. The space was damp, musty, and unusable, not to mention a concern for the health and safety of the home. They were looking for a permanent fix.

After:

We transformed this basement by installing our proven waterproofing system. First, we applied CleanSpace to the walls. CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that not only seals out moisture but also gives the space a bright, clean look. Next, we installed WaterGuard along the interior perimeter, a specially engineered drainage channel that sits on top of the footing to catch wall and floor seepage and direct it to the sump pump. Finally, we installed the SuperSump, a powerful and reliable sump pump system that efficiently removes the water from the home.

Now the basement is clean, dry, and worry-free. No more musty smells or water problems, just a healthier and more usable space for these homeowners.

Roxane & Loren of Nicollet, MN weren't happy with the look of their basement windows and decided to add new windows to their complete basement waterproofing and foundation project we completed for them.

Basement windows are an important element in a basement to add some natural light.  Our EverLast Basement Windows are energy efficient, all vinyl.  The new windows look much better and don't let wind in and have double-pane glass.

Roxane & Loren of Nicollet love how clean their basement looks now.  Complete Basement Systems transformed the look of their basement with the CleanSpace Wall System installed on their old stone foundation walls and WaterGuard drainage system to prevent water seepage.
