Cracked and Leaky Foundation in Gilbert, MN Repaired with DBS Waterproofing and Foundation Systems
Homeowners of this 1980's home in Gilbert, MN very recently noticed cracking in the basement foundation walls. Water began to leak through the cracks, creating a mess in the basement and a worry with the homeowners. Looking for a permanent solution to protect their basement, they contacted DBS.
DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the work. After visiting the home, Henrik recommended the installation of a waterproofing and foundation repair system to fully protect the home.
Because this home had multiple home repair needs, it was broken up into 2 projects. Our highly-trained installers from both foundation support and waterproofing visited the home to complete the repair in their area of expertise.
DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his crew installed a full waterproofing system in this basement. It consists of a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to stop water and a WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system to drain water. These two products connect to a new SingleSafe™ sump pump that will keep water out of the home for good.
DBS Foreman Osia Williams and crew installed 4 PowerBrace™ wall support beams to stabilize the walls and prevent any further movement. These galvanized steel I-beams will be tightened over time with the goal of restoring the wall to its original position.

Cracked Foundation and Leaky Basement Repaired in Washburn, WI
A homeowner who recently purchased this home in Washburn, WI had a few concerns about the basement. The cracked and bowing foundation walls were allowing water to enter the space. After a family friend referred them to DBS, they called to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate.
DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder visited the home to inspect the source of the foundation wall and basement water issues. He determined that both a waterproofing system and wall repair system would be installed to provide a permanent solution to both issues.
DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew installed both systems beginning with the basement waterproofing system. In order to protect the entire basement, our basement repair team installed 100 feet of interior drain tile with a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the walls. DBS uses the WaterGuard® drainage system, designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall and floor joint. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the basement sump pump.
After the successful install of the basement system, our team installed 6 PowerBrace™ steel I-beams. This system permanently stabilizes basement walls and its unique tightening system can restore the original wall to its original position over time.
The homeowner was ecstatic with the work done and looks forward to using a water-free basement going forward.

Our basement leaking solutions

Basement Floor Cracks
Water can also rise directly through the porous concrete of your floor slab, a problem that's exacerbated when there's a crack. When you have water coming through the floor, the first step is installing a perimeter drain system. We can also install a direct drainage channel, which will help direct any water that comes through the crack into the drain and your sump pump. Finally, we will backfill the crack with stone and cover it with fresh concrete to prevent future leaks.
-
Basement Wall Cracks
The soil around your foundation is filled with water, and even the smallest crack will allow this groundwater to seep into your basement. Much like with floor cracks, the first step to repairing a leaky wall crack is installing one of our drainage systems. We then use an innovative polyurethane sealant called FlexiSpan® to seal the crack. This flexible sealant will never dry or crack and can flex to the natural movement of your foundation wall, ensuring a completely waterproofed seal.
-
Basement Leaky Windows
A waterproof seal. Prevent future leaks with our basement window sealing system.
Window frames break down over time, creating separation and allowing water to seep past seals. Once again, the first step for repair window leaks is a drainage system that funnels the water to your sump pump. We will then create a small hole in the wall under the basement window with a plastic fitting that directs any water into the drainage system. This is then sealed with a polymer injection for a clean, waterproof finish.
Repair your leaking basement floor and wall cracks today!
Water can enter your home at any point where there is an opening in the foundation. This includes not only cracks in the basement walls and floors, but around pipes as well. Our floor crack and leaky window solutions provide lasting results that are compatible with your perimeter drainage system and will not crumble, flake off your walls, or fail due to the natural expansion and shrinking of the concrete.
Call the basement waterproofing experts at DBS today to get started on your crack repair with a free estimate. We offer all our services in Eau Claire, Duluth, Superior, and throughout the surrounding areas.
