Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These Duluth homeowners reached out to DBS after being referred by a contractor working on a different section of their house. They had been having issues with mold and rotting wood in their basement and wanted a permanent solution to the problem. Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement flooring, CleanSpace® Wall Poly was installed on the walls and everything now flows to a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to keep water out of the basement for good. This home now has a safe and dry basement to enjoy with a clean new look. 

After receiving a referral from another contractor, this homeowner reached out about the water issues in the basement of their 1940's home. 

Waterproofing Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home for a free, no-obligation estimate for our waterproofing service. He determined that a french drain system with sump pump was needed to keep this basement dry. A DBS Foreman and crew installed this system including our WaterGuard® system, designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall and floor joint. This drain system effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to the home's sump pump.

This homeowner now has a functional, dry recreation and storage space for the family to enjoy.

These homeowners in Plymouth, MN reached out to DBS for help keeping their basement dry. Their existing sump pump was not functioning properly, causing it to run constanly, and emit a musty odor into the air.

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Rich recommended installing a new discharge line to carry water to the exterior of the home, as well as a new UltraSump™ sump pump. The UltraSump™ 4 removes up to 12,000 gallons of water on a single charge, keeping your home dry and protected until you're able to get your primary pump running again.

We also installed our SaniDry™ XP dehumidifcation system that filters musty basement air, and directs the moisture to the new sump pump. These systems work together to collect and remove water in leaky basements. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby, and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

Homeowners in Barnum, MN connected with DBS at the Duluth Boat and Travel Show expressing some concern about their basement. The walls were cracking and bowing, leading to water leaking through the foundation. This lead to muddy and moldy conditions that became quite uncomfortable. DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate where he evaluated the basement and created a plan of action.

From there, our Foreman Zach Royer and his crew installed the WaterGuard® system along the perimeter of the basement, paired with a TripleSafe™ sump pump system. A PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was also installed to address the cracking and bowing walls. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now enjoy a supported and moisture-free basement.  

Cracking basement walls and moisture build-up in a 1950's Superior, WI home was causing issues for the homeowners. In search of a permanent fix to this home that had been in the family for over 40 years, the homeowners contacted DBS.
