Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Sara & Wes F. of St Bonifacius, MN related to a team member at Complete Basement Systems contacted Nate Barke to inspect a wall that had a crack and would notice water coming in through that crack in their foundation.

The foundation wall is a poured wall and are very common to develop hairline cracks and some of those cracks get wider over time and that is generally caused by shrinkage.  This is typical in new homes and continues for a few years after, sometimes longer.  Injections are a common solution and can work temporarily, however the crack can often get larger and re-leak due to the soil expansion and contraction.  

Our FlexiSpan crack repair system is a permanent solution to control the water coming through the crack of the wall and has a place to drain into a basement waterproofing system. 

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. 

A Norwood Young America resident reached out to us regarding water seepage in her basement. Additionally, she mentioned her dissatisfaction with her peeling and unsightly walls. Our Design Specialist Ronald was sent out to assess the situation and offer suitable solutions.

After discussing the options, they agreed to proceed with a complete waterproofing system to prevent any further water issues in the basement. They also decided to install a CleanSpace Wall System to maintain the walls.

Our installation team started with installing the WaterGuard. The WaterGuard is a non-clogging piping system that drains into the SuperSump Sump Pump to remove the water and keep your basement dry. The SuperSump system is the most reliable available. It includes a high-end Zoeller cast iron pump, a WaterWatch Alarm that will alert you if water rises above the point the pump should turn on, a SuperLiner with 96 holes that allow water to flow in directly from below the floor, and the airtight lid that keeps moisture from evaporating into your basement, as well as keeps out bugs, odors, and radon gas.

The CleanSpace Wall System they put up is a strong, bright liner that stops water vapor from permeating the walls, and drain wall leaks into the WaterGuard. It is installed with permanent drilled-in fasteners. It conforms to bumpy walls and is easily washable to create a nice, clean surface.

This system will give the homeowner peace of mind that her basement will remain dry and safe for many years to come.

Here's a home that our crew installed a new TripleSafe Sump Pump in. This is a heavy duty pump that has three pumps to give you complete protection. If your first pump fails, the second one takes over. If your first pump cannot keep up, then it will add a more powerful second pump run at the same time- more than double capacity. If your power goes out, an Ultrasump Battery back-up pump takes over. The best part about it is that it's all automatic!
