Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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. 

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!
