In Virginia, MN, a homeowner struggled with ongoing water intrusion that threatened both the safety and usability of their basement. As seen in the before photo, moisture concerns were evident and raised the risk of long-term damage. To resolve the issue, our team installed the proven WaterGuard® drainage system paired with the reliable TripleSafe™ sump pump for maximum protection. We also added the IceGuard® discharge line extension to safeguard against freezing conditions common in Minnesota winters. The after photo highlights a dry, restored space—giving the homeowner peace of mind and a healthy basement environment for years to come.

This waterproofing job was done for a church group in Virginia, MN. They had noticed the basement was having issues with staying dry and were referred to DBS by someone who had previously had work done.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough investigation, he suggested DBS's waterproofing system solution. The system is composed of installing a WaterGuard®Drain System to divert water into a sump pump.

Foreman Jordan Jeseritz led the installation of this project. With the help of a crew, they installed the WaterGuard®Drain System by jackhammering the perimeter of the room, affixing the drains into each trench, and covering the trenches with cement. They installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump for the drain system to empty water into and directed a discharge line from the sump pump out and away from the foundation.

Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the residents will be able to relax comfortably in a healthier and drier environment.
