Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Walker, MN homeowner was sick of anticipating water and mold in their basement each year, so she contacted DBS to find a permanent solution! One of our design specialists visited the house to provide a free, no-obligation, estimate. They ultimately concluded that adding a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a CleanSpace wall poly system was the best course of action.

One of our foremen led his group in this installation. The team started by removing concrete spots from the house's interior perimeter. Then, to permanently address flooding, they installed our sub-floor drainage system. After that, the team installed our CleanSpace wall barrier to keep water vapor from entering through the foundation walls. This led to the homeowner feeling confident their basement will be dry moving forward!

This homeowner in Crosslake, MN hired DBS for their waterproofing issues. They were experiencing flooding all around the basement and especially near the well pipe.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided this homeowner with a free, no-obligation estimate to help find the best solution for their home. After inspecting the areas, Rich told the homeowner that installing a WaterGuard® System would be the more efficient and effective solution for the home. 

Foreman Dustin Behning led a team in the installation of this waterproofing project. Together, the team removed the necessary flooring in order to install the drainage lines. These French drains collect water seepage from the floor joists and walls before it has the chance to enter the home. The water is then carried through the drains to a sump pump and discharged outside of the home. The drain is then covered for a flush appearance. 

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is healthy and dry. 

This homeowner in Deerwood, MN had plans to finish their basement to create an office and living area. However, first, they needed to address the water issues the basement was facing.

Foreman Dustin Behning led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team created trenches around the perimeter of the basement in order to install the drain lines.

This homeowner can now finish their home renovation projects without worrying about water damage.
