Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Lakefield Business had many challenges with the crawl space, ranging from flooding to radon risks.  With our patented CleanSpace product, this concrete crawl space is now fully protected.

Windom, Minnesota homeowners had a crawl space that was beyond just being an eyesore; it was a potential health hazard. Crawl spaces are often neglected spaces in homes, and - if left unaddressed - are commonly subject to moisture, mold, and air quality issues. Luckily, these homeowners worked with their System Design Specialist to encapsulate the space, as well as install a sump pump and dehumidifier. Now, they can rest assured that their home is safe for their family!

This homeowner had water issues in his crawlspace. The dirt crawlspace was high in humidity which was causing mold and mildew. The homeowner wanted a high-quality solution that would guarantee results. 

Our Design Specialist recommended our CleanSpace Encapsulation System as well as a SuperSump sump pump to create a dry, safe crawlspace.

The CleanSpace System is a heavy duty, vapor-proof, attractive liner that is permenatly held in place by drilled-in fasteners and spikes. The edges, seams and pipe penetrations are all sealed tight. The white finish allows you to easily see that your crawl space is free of mold, insects and dirt. It will also prevent pests from getting in through the crawl space and into your home.

Our SuperSump is a SUPER reliable pump that is equipped with a WaterWatch Alarm System. This pump is clean and neat, with an airtight lid that prevents anything from falling into the sump hole. The alarm will sound if the pump doesn't kick in when water gets past a level that the pump should have turned on. This will give you time to address the issue before there is flooding.

Give us a call to come take a look at your crawl space and see if our CleanSpace System is right for you!

These homeowners in Hector, MN called us with some water intrusion and bowing walls in their basement. When walls are bowing in, it is usually due to hydrostatic pressure from too much water building up against the outside of the walls, or the soil that is around your property swells and exerts pressure that forces the foundation wall inward. Bowed or leaning walls can cause very serious structural damage if not corrected.

After discussing the options available with the homeowners, it was decided we would install our PowerBrace Wall Support System to permanently stabilize the walls. These beams are custom-fit to your basement height and tightly secured against the wall with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor below and first-floor framing above. The braces are tightened over time, slowly pushing the wall back to the correct positition.

We also installed an UltraSump3, WaterGuard drain system and discharge with IceGuard. This will ensure a dry, safe basement for these homeowners.

Here's a home that had a completely finished basement but ended up with water. These photos show what it looked like after the family ripped up the carpet. We installed the WaterGuard system to prevent this from happening again. Once the concrete finishes drying, they can put the drywall back to the floor and it will be as if their water problem never happened!
