This home had both bowing walls and a leaky basement. We installed PowerBraces and a WaterGuard system to help keep the water out and make sure the walls don't continue to bow out even further.

Our Mankato homeowner had an existing sump pump that just couldn't keep up with the amount of water that was attempting to enter his basement space. Oftentimes, generic sump pumps only come with one pumping system that isn't able to remove enough water out of the space fast enough. That's where the TripleSafe Sump Pump comes in, which removes 6,200 gallons per hour!

Crawl Space Encapsulation & Insulation Throughout Mankato, MN

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 Mankato, MN
Water Leaking through the floor in Mankato, MN

Kevin K of Mankato, Minnesota noticed water coming through the floor and cracks in the basement whenever it would rain.  His home was older, however we still use all the space in our home, finished or not finished.  

Kevin was referred to Complete Basement Systems by a friend to have us take a look at his basement situation.  Our Appointment Center Representative scheduled a FREE estimate with a certified system design specialist.

At the appointment, Kevin and the specialist took a look at the basement.  Kevin showed him where the problem was happening and explained how much water would come in and when it happened.  Together they built an accomplish list to solve the problem with a permenant solution.

The system design specialist designed a WaterGuard perimeter system, a vapor barrier for the walls using CleanSpace Wall System and installed a new SuperSump Plus system. 

Kevin said the overall experience with Complete Basement Systems was GREAT!

Buying a Home with a Wet Basement in Mankato, MN?

Robert S of Mankato was looking to buy a home in Mankato that has had trouble with water in the past.  He wanted to be able to make use of this space by finishing it and wanted to make sure and protect that investment with a warrantied waterproofing system.  After seeing Complete Basement Systems around town, he gave the experts a call for an inspection.  

Our representative Lewis Uhrich visited with Robert at the property, took measurements, outlined a sketch to design a complete waterproofing system along each exterior wall using WaterGuard and updated an old sump pump system to a patented SuperSump pump system. He also addressed the walls with a vapor barrier solution using CleanSpace Wall System to prevent wall leaks, mold and moisture away from the eventually finished wall.  Lewis expressed the importance of a dehumidification system in the basement to reduce odors and control the humidity using a CompleteAire dehumidification system.

Robert scheduled the project shortly after closing.  Complete Basement Systems installation crew completed the project in 3 days installing a full perimeter WaterGuard, CleanSpaceWall and SuperSump pump system.  

Robert has been very happy with the experience using Complete Basement Systems and can rest assured getting ready to finish his basement that it will be safe from ground water seeping this coming spring when all that snow melts.
