Carol H. of Northfield, MN researched for a company online to help with encapsulating her crawl space.  She contacted the RIGHT place!  Complete Basement Systems has been assisting homeowners since 1975 with basement, foundation and crawl space repairs.  

We scheduled Carol with a FREE estimate to inspect the crawl space at her home and design a solution that would accomplish her goals of protecting her home. 

The solution designed was to completely encapsulate the crawl space with our CleanSpace Liner to separate the dirt floor earth underneath from the rest of her home.  The CleanSpace System is a 20 mil poly that is kind of like a pool liner and is warrantied for up to 25 years to be free from rips and tears.  

Carol now has the ability to use her crawl space for storage and also looks a lot more attractive and bright versus nasty and dark.

Before:


This homeowner wanted a major basement upgrade. Water intrusion had led to musty odors, visible staining on the walls, and ongoing moisture issues. The old basement window was outdated and not up to safety code. The foundation walls were bowing inward, raising concerns about long-term structural stability.

 

After:


We gave this basement a full upgrade, starting with the installation of a RockWell Egress Window, which added natural light, fresh air, and a code-compliant escape route. Next, we addressed the water issues by installing our WaterGuard interior drainage system along the perimeter to collect and direct water to a sump pump system. To protect the walls from moisture and direct it into the WaterGuard, we applied CleanSpace wall vapor barrier, giving the space a bright, clean look. Finally, we stabilized the bowing foundation walls using PowerBrace I-beams, which are fully adjustable to help potentially straighten the wall over time.

 

Now, the basement is dry, bright, and structurally sound, ready for finishing or storage with total peace of mind.

A Northfield, MN homeowner had been living with basement water problems since moving into her home back in 1993. Over the years, the situation slowly got worse. Whenever it rained heavily, she could end up with a couple of inches of water on the basement floor. This made the space impossible to use and stressful to deal with every time the weather turned stormy. After putting it off for years, she finally decided it was time to get the problem fixed once and for all.

 

 

We designed a waterproofing solution to give her the peace of mind she needed. By installing WaterGuard to collect water at the perimeter, CleanSpace to keep moisture from seeping through the walls, and a SuperSump to pump water safely away, her basement is now protected from future flooding. On top of that, our lifetime transferrable warranty means she never has to worry about water damage again. Now she can confidently use her basement however she wants, knowing it will stay dry for years to come.

Job Stories From Northfield, MN
Helping a Northfield, MN Homeowner

A homeowner in Northfield, MN contacted us after years of battling a wet basement that only seemed to get worse during heavy rains. Water would seep in where the wall meets the floor, leaving puddles, musty odors, and concerns about long-term damage. She needed a permanent basement waterproofing solution that would protect her home and restore peace of mind.

 

After a thorough inspection, our team determined the best waterproofing solution would be to install the WaterGuard drainage system in combination with CleanSpace vapor barrier.

We started by excavating a trench along the interior perimeter of the basement floor, just above the footing. The WaterGuard system was then laid in place. This patented drain system collects water from the wall-floor joint and channels it to a sump pump system for safe discharge away from the home.

 

To address moisture and vapor intrusion through the walls, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This durable, 20-mil thick liner is anchored securely to the basement walls and runs down to overlap with the WaterGuard. This ensures any wall moisture is directed straight into the drainage system, keeping the basement dry and clean.

 

With the WaterGuard and CleanSpace systems in place, the homeowner now enjoys a completely dry, usable basement. The risk of mold, poor air quality, and water damage is eliminated, and the basement is protected against future leaks.

 

 

If your basement in Northfield or the surrounding area has signs of water intrusion, dampness, or musty smells, our proven waterproofing systems can help.
