DBS Before & After Photos

The owner of this Duluth, MN home noticed water leaking in, slowly, but steadily. This was leading to almost constant moisture in the basement. Concerned with mold and other issues, they reached out to DBS in search of a permanent solution. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for our waterproofing system. It was determined that our WaterGuard® Drain System and CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier would be installed in the basement to keep water and leaks at bay. Zach Jorenby and his crew installed the Waterproofing system as well as the NexusPro™ joint sealant around the exterior perimeter of the foundation. 

The homeowner now has a reliable waterproofing system, making their water issues a thing of the past!

An Eau Claire, WI homeowner contacted us after discovering a leak in the home's finished basement. After removing drywall, the owner discovered a 4-5ft crack in the foundation wall that was allowing water to leak into the home, causing damage to the wall and floor, as evidenced in the before photo. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that the foundation wall did not need extensive support. Instead, and his crew installed a FlexiSpan® Basement Wall Crack System. FlexiSpan® seals the crack with a tough, yet flexible polyurethane, and then is covered with another layer of leak protecting material.
