If you've been having problems with your crawl space, our services can help. Some symptoms of a crawl space problem include uneven floors, foul odors in the home, drywall cracks in the interior, and heightened allergies or asthma symptoms. Mold is also a common problem as it can easily grow in any crawl space and eventually start rotting it all together. Besides adding braces to crawl spaces we can also professionally insulate and encapsulate the area with clean space vapor barrier. Installing sump pumps and dehumidifiers where necessary prevent moisture problems that lead to water damage and mold growth. Our crawl space system comes with a 25 year warranty that you can count on.

Job Stories From Cottonwood, MN
Dry Basement Success in Cottonwood, MN

In Cottonwood, MN, a homeowner had spent years fighting water intrusion every time it rained. What started as a small seep in one area slowly turned into a recurring problem. With damp floors, musty odors, and constant frustration, he was over it. After realizing the issue wasn’t going away on its own, he reached out to Complete Basement Systems for a permanent solution.

 

Our team designed a comprehensive waterproofing system to put an end to the problem once and for all. We installed the WaterGuard Interior Drainage System, a patented perimeter system engineered to sit just above the footing of the foundation. Unlike traditional drain tile, WaterGuard stays out of the “mud zone,” preventing clogs and allowing water to flow freely to the sump pump. This ensures long-term reliability and easy access for maintenance if ever needed.

 

To address wall moisture and give the basement a brighter, cleaner look, we lined the walls with CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. This durable liner prevents moisture from entering the space and helps control humidity levels. Finally, we installed a SuperSump Premier Pump System paired with an UltraSump Battery Backup, ensuring the basement stays protected even during power outages or extreme rainfall.

 

 

The result? A permanently dry basement and peace of mind for the homeowner. With WaterGuard working behind the scenes, he no longer worries about leaks, puddles, or damage. He now just has a clean, dry space he can rely on for years to come.

Cottonwood, MN Basement Waterproofing

After years of battling water seeping into his basement every time it rained, a homeowner in Cottonwood, MN finally decided enough was enough. The constant dampness, musty smell, and worry about long-term damage had become too much. He wanted a lasting fix,  not another temporary patch.

 

Our team at Complete Basement Systems got to work designing a permanent solution. We installed our WaterGuard Interior Drainage System along the perimeter of the basement to collect and direct groundwater away before it could reach the floor. To keep the walls clean, dry, and bright, we lined them with CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, sealing out moisture and helping prevent mold growth. Finally, we installed a SuperSump with UltraSump Battery Backup System to ensure reliable drainage, even during power outages or heavy storms.

 

 

Now, this Cottonwood homeowner has a dry, worry-free basement he can trust for years to come. With the right system in place, he no longer has to dread the forecast, rain or shine; his basement stays dry.

Creating a Dry Basement in Cottonwood, MN

After living in her Cottonwood home for 15 years, this homeowner knew it was where she wanted to spend the rest of her life. But for years, she had been battling water seeping into one corner of her basement every time heavy rain came through. No matter how many times she tried to patch or redirect the water, it always found its way back in.

 

She finally decided it was time to put an end to the problem once and for all. Her main concern was the safety of her home. She worried about damage to her stored belongings, and even more about what long-term water exposure might be doing to her foundation.

 

Our team inspected the basement and designed a permanent waterproofing solution tailored to her needs. We installed a WaterGuard drainage system along the interior perimeter to capture and direct incoming water to a newly installed SuperSump pump system. To finish the space and protect against moisture, we lined the basement walls with CleanSpace vapor barrier, brightening the room and sealing out humidity.

 

 

Now, no matter how much it rains, her basement stays clean, dry, and protected. With the system in place, she can finally enjoy her home with total peace of mind, knowing it’s ready to stand strong for a lifetime.
