Before & After Photos

Malinda J. of Kenyon was always getting water through floor cracks in the basement when it would rain.  She didn't have a sump pump in the basement either.  After meeting with our system design specialist at her home to inspect the problems she was having, she could see how the interior solution would completely eliminate her ongoing problem with water seepage.  

The installation team installed a perimeter waterproofing system using WaterGuard along the inside of her basement.  Her walls we also protected with a vapor barrier, CleanSpace Wall System leaving a nice clean look to the basement.  We added a SuperSump pump system that will collect the water that enters the foundation at any entry point.

Our customer had this to say upon the completion of her project:

"They cleaned up after they we're done , was very respectful of my home and belongings.   They did a wonderful job, could have not asked for better"

This homeowner contacted us about some evidence of water intrusion in her basement along the block walls. Our Design Specialist, Chris, recommended our WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to prevent water from coming in and causing any damage. We also installed our reliable SuperSump which has a WaterWatch alarm system that emits a sound similar to a smoke detector if water rises above a point where the pump should have kicked in. It also features an airtight lid to prevent moisture from evaporating into the basement and keeps out bugs and odors. We also buried the discharge line in the backyard and installed an IceGuard System which allows water to escape if the discharge pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason. This is especially important for your system to run flawlessly with Minnesota temperature changes.

This Plymouth, MN homeowner had been dealing with water intrusion for too long. Seasonal rainfall and snowmelt repeatedly caused moisture and seepage along the perimeter, making it impossible to keep the space dry or consider finishing it. After ongoing frustration and temporary fixes that didn’t last, she contacted Complete Basement Systems for a long-term solution.

During the inspection, our System Design Specialist identified several contributing factors: hydrostatic pressure forcing water through wall and floor joints, inadequate drainage around the foundation, and a lack of an effective sump system. Agreeing on a solution, we scheduled the installation of an integrated waterproofing system.

Our production team installed a full-perimeter WaterGuard interior drainage system, designed to capture water seepage at the cove joint before it reaches the basement floor. A SuperSump Pump System was added to provide reliable pumping capacity with a high-performance liner, airtight lid, and floor drain. To ensure proper discharge and prevent freezing or backup, the system included a discharge system including an IceGuard and LawnScape. The walls were sealed with CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, providing a bright, clean finish while preventing moisture and vapor transmission from the foundation walls.

The result is a fully waterproofed basement with a complete, industry-proven system that protects the home from future water intrusion. With these solutions in place, the homeowner can confidently refinish and utilize the basement as a safe, dry, and valuable extension of the living space.

Our customer in Bloomington, MN was referred to Complete Basement Systems for waterproofing an area in their basement when it would rain.  Complete Basement Systems installed a perimeter WaterGuard Systems, CleanSpace Wall System and a new SuperSump pump system.  

Our customer can rest assured that their basement will remain dry during the next snow melt or spring rain.

The homeowner in Edina had a crawl space beneath their home that was damp, musty, and causing the floors of the main level to be cold. Moisture was creeping in from the ground and perimeter, causing humid air to rise into the living areas. They noticed a faint musty odor, occasional pest signs, cold (or uneven) floors above, and worried about wood rot, mold and structural issues.
They called you because they wanted to turn that crawl space from a liability into a clean, healthy space.

After our CleanSpace encapsulation, the crawl space is now fully sealed: a heavy-duty vapor barrier has been applied to the floor and walls, vents have been sealed, and any necessary drainage or dehumidification systems have been installed. The result: no more humid air intrusion, no musty smell, improved indoor air quality. The homeowners notice more comfortable floors, fewer hidden pests, and lower humidity under the house. The crawl space is now usable for storage and the home’s value and structural health are better protected.
