Before & After Photos

John & Barb B. of Sauk Rapids, MN called on Complete Basement Systems for help with water getting into their finished basement of a home they have lived at for over 13 years.  

They had an existing sump pump system and draintile, but were still getting water coming in and were tired of the clean up involved after each time this would happen to them.

Complete Basement Systems did a complete perimeter waterproofing system around their home, along with a vapor barrier on the walls that would protect any future finished walls they would have.  We also installed the King of sump pump systems giving them triple the protection with the TripleSafe Sump Pump System.  

This system will continue to pump out water if the primary pump #1 fails, and should the secondary pump #2 stop, the TripleSafe has a battery operated backup system called the UltraSump Battery Back Up Pumping System.

This is the recommended sump pump system especially for a plan to finish your basement. 

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.

David C. of Worthington had a complete basement system installed in his home.  Part of the project involved burying his sump pump discharge line.  The benefits of the buried discharge line are not having to move around it to mow your lawn or having it be a trip hazard.  

The underground discharge line does freeze during the winter months, but it is still able to discharge water through the IceGuard attachment installed just outside the home. 

We updated this customers open sump hole that was failing and unable to keep up with the amount of water that was draining into it.  Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System is the king of all sumps.  This top of the line system sports three sump pumps in one sump liner, that includes a battery operated backup pump system.
