Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Lake Elmo, MN homeowner reached out to DBS because they had been experiencing dampness in their basement, as well as some concern of small cracks in the foundation. Our System Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, made a visit to their home and discussed the best quality solution for their basement. The homeowner decided to move forward with DBS and Henrik's solution. Installation of PowerBaces and an Interior Waterproofing System were installed by Foreman, Kevin Steffey, and his crew. Once the products were installed, the customer was relieved to have a quality solution in place. 

The owner of this home in Lake Elmo, MN noticed that cracks had formed in their basement walls and was letting water in. Water in your basement creates the perfect environment for mold growth, a big health concern. The homeowner reached out to DBS after becoming frustrated with the issue.

Foreman Glen Olcott led the installation of this project with help from a team. The team placed the drain lines within trenches along the perimeter of the basement walls.
