Water Leaking into Ashland, WI Basement Repaired with WaterGuard® Drain System

In this Ashland, WI home, the homeowner experienced water entering into their basement. They wanted to work with a company that could provide a long-lasting solution, so they decided to team up with DBS.

Design Specialist Hendrik Makitalo met with this homeowner and conducted a free no-obligation estimate for their flooding problem. After conducting a thorough inspection, Hendrik advised the owner to invest in a solution called the WaterGuard® Drain System along with the TripleSafe™ sump pump

Foreman Dustin Behning led this successful installation of the WaterGuard® Drain System. The team started by jackhammering trenches and placing the drains within. After placement, the drains are covered with concrete for a smooth, flush look. The team also installed the TripleSafe™ sump pump which handles 6,200 gallons of water an hour and has a backup battery operation in the case of power outages.

This owner can now enjoy their water-free basement in their healthy home.
