Victor Barke's Complete Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Our customer in Currie, MN needed help.  Their basement walls were bowing with  water seeping in. This homeowner was getting tired of dealing with the clean-up required every time it happened.  

Complete Basement Systems installed a waterproofing system along the foundation using WaterGuard, installed a new SuperSump pump system and steel zinc coated I-beams to support the bowing wall. 

Our customer needed help with water always coming into their basement.  Wayne & Joanne were tired of the clean up mess and called in a professional.  

Our System design specialist designed a permanent waterproofing system to control water entering into the basement using our WaterGuard Drainage System and a new SuperSump Pump system.  It was also evident that the foundation walls had movement, so we used our PowerBrace wall system to stabilize the foundation wall using zinc coated steel I-beams. 

Milly noticed our crew working in town and decided to give us a call, she wanted to know if we could come take a look at something. Our crew leader stopped by to take a look at her basement.  She was concerned about the bowed walls in her basement.

Upon further investigation, signs appeared indicating that past water in the basement had been a problem for a long time. Our crew leader designed a waterproofing system, wall system, sump pump and foundation wall system. 

A Garvin, Minnesota homeowner had a problematic basement. From bowing, leaking walls to mildew and moisture problems, he needed a permanent solution to transform his basement into a dry, safe space. He worked with System Design Specialist Dylan Woitas to create a solution. Crew Leader Ben Heldt and his team worked diligently to install the system, which is backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.

The before and after photo shows a typical sump pump that so many homeowners have in their homes. Not only was this sump pump ineffective, but because it wasn't sealed, gases and moisture could enter the home, which is a health concern. Our sump pump system is fully encapsulated, and this homeowner has a battery backup system as well, so if the power goes out, the sump pump will keep working, ensuring a dry space regardless of the weather!

Our customers in Magnolia, MN Gary & Jean H. always had some water intrusion in their basement, not a lot, but enough for them not to comfortably be able to use the basement like they should be able to.

They had an existing tile system installed on the interior wall years ago but was unable to handle all of the water coming in.  As you can see on the before photo the wall stains on the white block wall.  This is a sign that water or moisture has built up inside the blocks and is causing mold to appear.  

We designed a new interior drainage system called WaterGuard that was installed along the entire perimeter walls of their home along with a wall vapor barrier system called CleanSpace Wall System to prevent water, moisture and mold from being exposed to the rest of their basement.  The water coming into through their foundation will drain into a new SuperSump pump system installed and will discharge water away from the home.
