Before & After Photos

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. 

This Hollandale, MN homeowner had been battling water intrusion for years. Every heavy rain or snowmelt brought water into their basement, leaving behind damp floors, musty odors, and constant worry. The space was used as a family room and rec room, meant to be a place of comfort and connection, but instead, it became a source of stress. The recurring moisture damaged furniture, made the space feel uninviting and raised concerns about mold and long-term structural issues.

Ready for a permanent solution, the homeowner contacted our team. We installed a full waterproofing system including CleanSpace to seal out moisture along the walls, WaterGuard drainage below the perimeter to capture any seepage, and a SuperSump pump system to move water safely out of the home. The result? A dry, healthy, and reliable basement that’s back to being the family’s favorite hangout and rec space. No more water worries, just peace of mind and a basement they can enjoy year-round.
