Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A client called DBS looking to waterproof their basement and replace some cabinets and shelving in the basement area surrounding the old waterproofing system. DBS uses a WaterGuard® system to waterproof homes efficiently, that also looks nice. We worked on the basement to replace the outdated system and install our new, long-lasting WaterGuard® waterproofing system to make sure that our clients basement is safe and dry, making sure that no moisture creates mildew smell or mold present. We sent our Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, to the house to successfully waterproof the home for our clients!

These homeowners in Eleveth, MN reached out to DBS when their existing sump pump was starting to fail and unwanted water was staying in their basement. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate and created a plan of action to repair the damage. Our WaterGuard® drain system was installed along the perimeter of the basement and the old sump pump was replaced with our UltraSump® Pump. Water now flows through the drains directly to our UltraSump® and the basement is permanently kept dry during all four seasons!

A homeowner in Hawthorne, WI reached out to DBS regarding a waterproofing project for their basement and bathroom. The waterproofing service helps to keep unwanted leaking water from entering the basement in several different ways. After having a free, no-obligation estimate take place, it was concluded that the basement would need to have WaterGuard® installed around the perimeter of the basement, as well as a TripleSafe™ sump pump put in to help extract the water. The photos here show the bathroom area where the WaterGuard® was installed, and a portion of the wall will be replaced. The results turned out great, and now the homeowner can now enjoy a more dry and comfortable basement area.

A Minnesota homeowner was sick of anticipating water and mold in their basement each year, so she contacted DBS to find a permanent solution! One of our design specialists visited the house to provide a free, no-obligation, estimate. They ultimately concluded that adding a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a CleanSpace wall poly system was the best course of action. Glen Olcott, one of our foremen, led his group in this installation. The team started by removing concrete spots from the house's interior perimeter. Then, to permanently address flooding, they installed our sub-floor drainage system. After that, the team installed our CleanSpace wall barrier to keep water vapor from entering through the foundation walls.

To protect their rental property in Virginia, MN, this owner reached out for a long-term solution to persistent basement moisture issues. We installed WaterGuard® interior drainage, a SingleSafe™ sump pump, and the CleanSpace® Wall System to keep the basement dry and clean. Before the project, water intrusion threatened the property's value and tenant comfort. Now, the after photos show a bright, dry, and protected space—ensuring peace of mind for both the property owner and future renters.
