DBS Before & After Photos

Before our team stepped in, this Duluth home's basement was at risk of water damage, which troubled the homeowner, especially with potential sale or inheritance on the horizon. As you can see in the before photo, the challenge was clear. But scroll to the after photo, and notice the remarkable transformation! Utilizing our CleanSpace® wall system along with WaterGuard® drainage and the DoubleSafe™ pump system, we’ve secured a dry, functional basement space. Now, this homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement is protected for the long haul, echoing our commitment to providing not just immediate relief but ensuring a safe, and secure foundation for years to come.

Before our team’s intervention, this Duluth basement faced persistent water intrusion, making it a major hurdle for the homeowner's goal of converting it into a rental property. As seen in the photo, the transformation speaks for itself. By expertly installing WaterGuard® for drainage, lining the walls with CleanSpace®, adding freeze protection with IceGuard®, and completing the solution with a SingleSafe™ Sump Pump, we’ve turned a previously damp basement into a dry, inviting space ready for tenants. This is how we restore homeowners' confidence in long-lasting comfort and dependability.

This customer called DBS because he noticed that his main floor was sagging. Design Specialist, Royce Bunn, made a visit to this home and upon inspection suggested that the customer installed our patented SmartJack XL to help stabilize the sagging main support beam. Excited and relieved about the solution presented, the customer was eager to get the work started. Foreman Casey Healy and his crew were sent out to complete this task. First, they poured new footings for the jacks to securely rest on. Next, the SmartJacks were installed. This resulted in one happy customer, as he felt that his home was now safe and secure. 

A homeowner in Proctor, MN had a basement that was unfinished, and they reached out to DBS for help with finishing ideas. Besides making the area look nice, basement finishing can also help with moisture and odor control, among other things. After a free, no-obligation estimate, it was decided that the remodeling would include a variety of items. The photos here show the unfinished basement in the "before" section, and the "after" section shows the EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels that were installed. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more comofrtable basement environment. 

A homeowner in Hermantown, MN had a basement with poor protection from leaking water. Old basements with concrete walls and floors are susceptible to water damage, as concrete can begin to crack and shift, allowing outside material to agin access to the interior portion of the basement. In this case, the homeowner reached out to DBS, and had a crew come and install several waterproofing products to aid in the extraction of unwanted water. The photo attached shows both CleanSpace® wall covering as well as WaterGuard® after installation. The results were a success, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable basement environment.
