Crawl Space Encapsulation & Insulation Throughout Minneapolis, 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 Minneapolis, MN
Basement Waterproofing in Minneapolis, MN

Angela S. of Minneapolis, Minnesota contacted Complete Basement Systems after feeling frustrated with water always coming into the basement, "I Wish I called Sooner" she told our appointment center representative.  

We all have busy schedules and accommodated a meeting with her on a Saturday for an appointment to inspect her basement with our certified waterproofing professional. 

At the appointment our representative designed a solution to solve her water problems permenantly.  He showed her exactly what causes water to enter the basement and the different types of waterproofing systems available.  To ensure her basement will stay dry all the time, a WaterGuard drainage system with a life-time warranty was the best solution.

Hi We're looking for a consultation and recommendation on the support posts in the basement. Thanks.
Project Location: Minneapolis, MN
We have a house from 1921 and would like to waterproof the basement. The floor is a thin (1 inch or so) concrete slab with cracks, and we are close to Cedar Lake so we will probably need a sump pump and a dehumidifier. Thank you, Anna
Project Location: Minneapolis, MN
I discovered rot on my sill plate and joists around my dryer vent- with moisture and frost still present in the area. The frost is mainly on the interior of the cinder block, but the sill plate is still wet. My bet is the moisture came from the dryer vent, which I just had cleaned and repaired after discovering the sill plate problem. I have three things (two related, one separate) I'd like your help with: 1. repair/replacement/remediation options for the sill plate and joists, if necessary/recommended. 2. confirmation of source of the air leak (?) and moisture, and path for repair. 3. (unrelated to the above) inspection and quote for encapsulating a crawlspace Let me know if this isn't your area of expertise, I'm not sure who to contact for help with this problem.

Water is coming somewhere in the basement during heavy rain. In only one area of the basement. Although there is no damage to the wall, it starts where the wall meets the floor and goes about a foot or more inward. The carpet gets soaked and sopping with water. I am not sure where the water is coming in from

We are exploring the possibility of finishing all or part of our basement, but are concerned first of all about waterproofing. We'd like to have an expert (you) come take a look and advise us about waterproofing needs and options, as well as costs. We have not had huge water problems in the basement in the 4 years we've lived here, but a small amount of water has come in once or twice.
