DBS Before & After Photos

Before you dive into the world of beautifully finished, functional basements, imagine this: a dark, damp, and unfinished basement in Duluth, plagued by water damage and structural wear. The before photo captures a space with water stains, peeling paint, and an overall sense of neglect. The homeowner was looking for a solution that would address both water intrusion and the need for a stylish, livable basement.

That’s where Total Basement Finishing comes in. First, our expert team tackled the root cause of the issue with a comprehensive waterproofing solution, ensuring that the basement would stay dry for years to come. Once the space was fully protected, we installed our Wall Restoration Panels—designed to not only resist moisture but also provide a beautiful, modern finish.

The after photo shows the stunning transformation: a clean, dry, and welcoming basement space that has been completely revitalized. The Wall Restoration Panels not only enhance the aesthetic of the basement but also ensure it remains comfortable and functional for years to come.

This side-by-side visual is a testament to Total Basement Finishing’s commitment to solving your home’s basement challenges, starting from the foundation up. From waterproofing to finishing touches, we deliver lasting solutions and an exceptional customer experience every step of the way.

When a homeowner in Duluth, MN recognized that foundation issues were compromising their home's structural integrity, they trusted us to provide a dependable solution. The "before" image clearly highlights the signs of foundation distress. Our skilled team implemented the PowerBrace™ system to reinforce and stabilize the foundation. The "after" photo proudly showcases the secure and restored foundation. By choosing DBS, the homeowner gained a long-term solution that ensures peace of mind and reinforces the stability of their home.

We understand the frustration of dealing with a wet basement, and this Duluth homeowner knows that all too well. Water intrusion had turned everyday life into an ongoing struggle. But that’s where we came in! As shown in the "before" photo, the issue was clear and concerning. However, the "after" photo reveals the remarkable transformation. With our advanced waterproofing solution, including products like WaterGuard®, DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, and CleanSpace® , we effectively protected the basement from future water damage. The result? Peace of mind restored. Every home deserves to be safe, dry, and comfortable, and we’re proud to help make that a reality.

In the midst of lovely Duluth, things weren't smelling so rosy for one homeowner dealing with little water trouble and musty whispers. Perhaps what you see in the 'before' photo are sneaky gaps and sunken slabs. We brought our trusty PolyLevel and NexusPro to tackle this mischief. As shown in the 'after' photo, our team got straight to it—lifting the concrete with cheekily-small holes and a mighty foam, then sealing cracks that mean business. Problem sorted, it's a clean break from mustiness and moisture. Sweet-smelling success—almost like a breath of fresh, concrete-steady air!

This customer was no stranger to DBS, as we had installed a new support beam and SmartJacks in their basement last year. The homeowner was ready to move on to phase two of their basement upgrade and install an egress window. Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo stopped out to see the homeowner and measured for the installation of an egress window. Forman, Kevin Steffy and his crew installed the window system and left the customer feeling happy as they were one step closer to completing their basement!
