Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Hector, MN called us with some water intrusion and bowing walls in their basement. When walls are bowing in, it is usually due to hydrostatic pressure from too much water building up against the outside of the walls, or the soil that is around your property swells and exerts pressure that forces the foundation wall inward. Bowed or leaning walls can cause very serious structural damage if not corrected.

After discussing the options available with the homeowners, it was decided we would install our PowerBrace Wall Support System to permanently stabilize the walls. These beams are custom-fit to your basement height and tightly secured against the wall with brackets that are anchored to the basement floor below and first-floor framing above. The braces are tightened over time, slowly pushing the wall back to the correct positition.

We also installed an UltraSump3, WaterGuard drain system and discharge with IceGuard. This will ensure a dry, safe basement for these homeowners.

This family called us to look at their leaky basement. They had enough water to have wet, squishy carpet and mold present. They had plans to refinish the basement so they wanted to make sure the waterproofing they chose to do would be a permanent solution. After assessing the situation, our team determined that installing a full perimeter system would be the most effective way to keep the basement dry permanently. We implemented our WaterGuard Drain Tile System, CleanSpace Wall System, SuperSump Plus Sump Pump, and a battery backup. We are so confident in our waterproofing solution that we offer a LIFETIME warranty on our work.

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.

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.
