Bedroom Addition in Sturgeon Lake, MN Basement Made Possible with DBS Waterproofing System

The owner of this home in Sturgeon Lake, MN wanted to find a solution to flooding in their basement so that they could add another bedroom so they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik generated a quote for our waterproofing system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed a WaterGuard® french drain system around the perimeter of the basement to assist the flow of water into a new sump pump. The sump pump will keep the basement dry by expelling the water up and away from the home's foundation.

Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can go about adding another bedroom in the basement.

Mobile Home Insulation in Sturgeon Lake, MN

This homeowner in Sturgeon Lake, MN wanted to address the insulation issues in the crawl space of their home. The owner reached out to DBS for a professional, permanent solution.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the best solution for the home's needs. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended our SprayFoam insulation.

Then the team air seals these areas to begin the insulation process. Finally, they apply a full-coverage layer of SprayFoam to fully insulate the space and create a moisture barrier.
