Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

Our customer in Olivia, MN contacted Complete Basement Systems because of multiple foundation cracks in the basement.  Wall anchors were installed already, but still had significant cracks and movement occurring.  An existing beaver system installed had failed these homeowners also and could not comfortably finish their basement with water leaking occasionally.  The solution installed was our PowerBrace beams to support the foundation wall from the inside of the home, along with a bright white vapor barrier called CleanSpace on the walls and an interior waterproofing system replace their old style beaver system. 

Taylor and Liz of Redwood Falls had noticed slight water seepage in the basement floor and walls.  Getting ready to finish their basement in the near future, they realized they should address this problem before completing any finishing work. 

Searching for a company to help them out, we are glad they found us online.  An appointment was scheduled for them to meet with our System Design Specialist, Nick Barke. 

Nick met with Taylor and Liz about the problem and while inspecting the basement entirely, showing them how a  perimeter waterproofing solution would accomplish their goal of keeping a dry basement when they decide to finish.  Having liked the product, the company and their design specialist, Nick was got them set up with an installation date.

Ben Heldt and his crew of guys installed a perimeter WaterGuard Drainage System along with a CleanSpace Wall System that will protect their walls from moisture and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that includes a battery backup.

A transformed basement that Taylor and Liz can now cofidently finish knowing that they will have a dry basement for the life of their home.

Problems with water coming in a corner of the basement everytime a heavy rain happened would have these homeowners putting towels down, running fans, anything to dry it up until it would happen next time.  

Brett & Christel had enough with this problem and wanted it solved once and for all.  They had called us a couple of times for an appointment to address the problems with water.  Getting the pre-appointment information gave them a lot to think about and consider to do this properly and can be a costly repair on top of the addition plans to make a livable space in the basement. 

When we inspected the basement, our System Design Specialist noticed signifigant foundation movement.  About 2" of the block walls had bowed inward.  Very possibly a cause to some of the water problems they have had.  

What causes a foundation to crack is due to moisture and frost that interact with the soil around your home which expands.  That expansion results in constant inward force on your foundation wall until it can no longer support the pressure, causing cracking, bowing and tipping.

Water seepage through walls, floor/wall joint is the same, hydrostatic pressure.  Floor and wall water seepage is quite common.

Our solution to solve our customers water and foundation problems involved installing our patented WaterGuard Drainage System, CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump Pump and PowerBrace Foundation System. 

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.
