Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This family home in Duluth, MN was having water issues in their finished basement. After learning about our company from a family friend, the owners contacted DBS in search of a permanent solution. 

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder is our expert in basement waterproofing and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. After thoroughly inspecting the leaky basement, he designed a custom plan for a basement waterproofing system including our WaterGuard® french drain system and a new sump pump.

DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew installed our basement waterproofing products. First, removed the water damaged and moldy carpeting, as well as the bottom portion of damaged drywall. Then, they dug a trench around the perimeter of the basement and carried out the concrete. From there, they installed our WaterGuard® drainage system and surrounded it with gravel to encourage proper drainage. Once the drain system install was complete, they connected it to a SingleSafe™ sump pump and covered the drain with new concrete. 

This homeowner now has a proven system for keeping water out of the basement.

DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew installed our basement waterproofing products. First, they dug a trench around the perimeter of the basement and carried out the concrete. From there, they installed our WaterGuard® drainage system and surrounded it with gravel to encourage proper drainage. A feed line was also run through the middle of the basement floor to prevent water from seeping through the basement concrete. Once the drain system install was complete, they connected it to the home's exsiting sump pump and covered the drain with new concrete.

This 100-year-old home in Duluth, MN had issues with water intrusion in the basement. They noticed the issues immediately upon moving into the home three years ago. They pinpointed the source of the water as leaking through cracks in the basement foundation walls and the concrete footing. After learning about us in the Duluth News Tribune, they decide to contact DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate.

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder visited the home and provided a thorough inspection. Assessing the cracks in the foundation, he determined that a french drain tile system would be installed, as well as a vapor barrier wall covering. 

Foreman Joe Harris led the installation of this basement waterproofing system. The team first dug trenches along the perimeter of the basement to install our WaterGuard® french drain system. This interior drain tile will catch water and lead it to the basement sump pump. To catch the water coming from the cracks in the basement walls, our team installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier. This thick, white poly sheet material makes an excellent covering for leaky basement foundation walls. It catches all water and vapor and leads it down into the WaterGuard® drain.

This homeowner now has a proven system to keep water out of the basement for good! 

Water would leak into this Farmington, MN basement and pool during periods of heavy rainfall. Wanting to eventually completely finish their basement, the owners knew they needed to tackle the water issue. 

DBS Production Manager Jason Brummer was the Design Specialist for the waterproofing project. He assessed the home's foundation on the interior and exterior of the home. Finding no major structural issues, he determined the best course of action would be to install an interior waterproofing system. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his waterproofing crew began the installation by excavating concrete around the perimeter of the basement. The crew then installed WaterGuard® interior drain tile. Water enters the system via inlet holes in the drain and it is carried to the basement sump pump. Once the WaterGuard® is in place, our team covers the drain with concrete to completely conceal the system.
