Why Canyon, MN Homes Experience Basement Water Problems

Canyon’s geography and climate present several common issues:

• Heavy clay soil that traps water around the foundation

• Spring snowmelt that increases hydrostatic pressure

• Older home foundations built without modern drainage or vapor barriers

• Harsh freeze–thaw cycles that widen cracks and allow moisture entry

These factors make professional waterproofing essential for preventing mold, structural damage, and recurring water problems.

• Basement Waterproofing in Canyon, MN Near Duluth, MN
  Recently in Canyon, MN, we had the pleasure of helping a homeowner transform their basement into a warmer and drier living space. They were finishing their basement but realized they first needed to tackle its dampness issues before they could start on the rest of the project. The homeowners decided to reach out to us and schedule a free, no-obligation, estimate. Our Design Specialist visited their home and provided a thorough inspection of the basement. Once the inspection was concluded, our Design Specialist recommended our WaterGuard system along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Our WaterGuard system is specially designed to capture water, seeping through walls and floors, directing it efficiently to our TripleSafe Sump Pump. This sump pump system is equipped with three pumps for maximum reliability and efficiency, ensuring that the basement stays dry at all times.

• Basement Waterproofing in Canyon, MN

  We recently had the opportunity to completely transform the basement of a welcoming home in Canyon, MN. We turned what was once a damp and chilly space into a warm, dry, and inviting area, now ready to be finished and lived in. The homeowner approached us with a vision to complete their basement but faced a common challenge: moisture intrusion had rendered the space unusable, thwarting their plans for a comfortable family room.

   

  Understanding the homeowner's unique needs and aspirations, we conducted a thorough home inspection to pinpoint the issue accurately. Our System Design Specialist identified water seepage during heavy rainfalls as the primary culprit behind the persistent dampness and cold. To address this challenge, we proposed a customized solution featuring the UltraSump™ Sump Pump system, WaterGuard® interior drainage, and IceGuard® to prevent frozen discharge lines during harsh Minnesota winters.

   

  With our expert production team ready to roll up their sleeves, we began by installing WaterGuard® along the basement's perimeter to effectively capture wall and floor seepage. This system efficiently directs water to the UltraSump™ Sump Pump, which provides triple protection for the basement. To ensure year-round reliability, we integrated the IceGuard® system, safeguarding against freezing conditions.

   

  The transformation was dramatic. Freed from moisture and cold, the homeowner now enjoys a basement that's warm, dry, and primed for finishing. Yesterday's worries have been replaced with excitement as they plan a complete basement overhaul, from selecting cozy carpets to choosing furniture, all thanks to the reliable protection provided by our solutions.

  
  
  

• CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier Installed in Canyon, MN
  A homeowner in Canyon, MN, reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. the crawl space was wide open, and very dirty. The openness allows for cold air to access the home, and well as water and moisture during warm seasons. The homeowner was hoping to have the entire area sealed to prevent any further issues. After reaching DBS, a Design Specialist went to inspect the home and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the service. It was decided that the crawl space would need to be encapsulated with CleanSpace®, a vapor barrier that covers the entirety of the crawl space. Along with that, a small portion of spray foam insulation would be added as well. The CleanSpace® covering holds back water vapor and provides a cleaner look and feel to the area it is installed within. The results of the project turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more comfortable crawl space, and overall home environment, for years to come.
