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.

Like many homeowners in St. Cloud, MN, this customer was tired of dealing with a damp, musty basement. Water seepage had left visible staining on the block walls, moisture marks along the floor, and an overall feeling that the space couldn't be trusted during heavy rain. Instead of continuing to clean up after every wet season, they decided it was time for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Our team installed a custom basement waterproofing system to intercept water before it could reach the living space. The once-stained walls are now protected with a bright, clean wall system that helps direct moisture into the drainage system below, keeping the basement dry and giving the homeowner lasting peace of mind. What was once a damp, unusable basement is now a clean, healthier space they can confidently use for storage or whatever else they choose to do!

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.
