Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Ely, MN reached out to DBS looking for a waterproofing solution for their basement.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Rich generated a quote for our waterproofing system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed a WaterGuard® french drain system around the perimeter of the basement to help direct water into a sump pump so that it can be expelled up and away from the home.

Now that the basement has been thoroughly waterproofed, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

This crawl space had issues with water. The home itself was on the bottom of a slope and water would sometimes gather in the crawl space. Standing water creates a very damp crawl space atmosphere which contributes to mold, musty smells, and rot. This nasty crawl space required a complete encapsulation to seal it away from the problems it was facing. Underneath our CleanSpace matting in the corner of this crawl space we have installed a sump pump to prevent water from gathering and causing further issues with the home. This completed system brings new life to a home that may have eventually felt the effects of mold and rot if not handled properly. 

This customer reached out to DBS after noticing they had water leaking around the perimeter of their mothers basement and they didn't want to worry about her going down to do laundry. They believed that water was pushing up between the floor and the blocks of the basement so they were interested in our waterproofing services! 

Upon inspection, our Design Specialist recommended taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with our SmartSump™ sump pump system from our waterproofing service to help clear out the water from the basement and prevent water in the future. Once our crew was able to install the sump pump, the mother had a dry basement and the customer felt more secure about their mother's safety!

This homeowner reached out to DBS due to ongoing water problems in their basement. They needed to sell their house as soon as possible and were keen to fix the water issues to make it more attractive to potential buyers. The water mainly originated from one corner of the basement, starting at the shower and flowing towards the existing sump pump location. Our Design Specialist visited the property and recommended the installation of a new sump pump and BrightWall paneling to help reduce water in the basement and direct it towards the sump pump. The main aim was to keep the basement dry and prevent any further water damage before putting the house on the market. Once our team went in, the installation was quick and easy. They conducted a final walk-through with the homeowner, who was very pleased with the results!

These Silver Bay homeowners connected with DBS after being referred by a friend. They had been having water issues in their basement from their old sump pump and needed one that would keep the basement dry. Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman Zach Royer and his production team replaced the existing broken sump pump with our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to keep water out of the basement for good. This home now has a clean, safe and dry basement to enjoy.
