Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our most reliable sump pump system, the TripleSafe provides our customer in Montgomery with three levels of protection for their basement and will leave them with peace of mind the next heavy rain or power outage that their basement will remain dry!

The TripleSafe sump pump has a 1/3 hp motor that can discharge 2,200 gallons of water per hour, it also has a 1/2 hp motor that can pump an additional 3,900 gallons of water per hour.  Lastly the UltraSump Battery Backup System also installed can pump more than 11,500 gallons of water on a full charge.  Wow!  Yes that's a lot of water!

A homeowner in New Prague, MN, started noticing signs of trouble in his basement; most concerning were several foundation walls that had begun to bow inward. While the basement was still usable, the movement was a clear warning that pressure from the surrounding soil was taking its toll. He wanted to address the issue early, before the walls worsened and repairs became more invasive and costly.

Our team stabilized the foundation using the proven PowerBrace System, which is designed to stop wall movement and protect the structure in the long term. The steel beams were custom-fit and secured from floor to joist, immediately reinforcing the walls and preventing further bowing. With the PowerBrace system in place, the homeowner now has peace of mind knowing his basement walls are protected, his home’s structural integrity is preserved, and the problem was handled before it became a major repair.

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!

Homeowners John and Melissa of Saint Cloud, MN are able to enjoy this spring knowing that their basement will no longer be flooding.  Foreman Cody Andreoff and his crew installed a WaterGuard system to keep the basement from flooding, and also fixed the decaying walls by installing CleanSpace.

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.
