Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Lake Elmo, MN, a homeowner reached out to DBS with concerns about a bowing west basement wall and ongoing water leaks. Before we address the foundation issues, our team began the first phase of the project by tackling the water intrusion. As shown in the ‘before’ photo, moisture had compromised the basement space. To create a dry environment and prepare for future repairs, we installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system, WaterGuard interior drainage, and a dependable SingleSafe sump pump. The ‘after’ photo shows a clean, dry space—setting the stage for phase two: structural reinforcement of the wall.

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. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik generated a quote for them for our waterproofing system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed our WaterGuard® french drain system to help direct water into their sump pump so it can be pumped out and away from the foundation.

Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can relax more comfortably in their healthy home. The homeowner also hired DBS to install wall repair solutions at a later date in an attempt to correct the cracks in the walls.
