Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

When our Grand Rapids, MN customer noticed their basement was taking on water, they knew they couldn't wait any longer for a solution. They wanted something that wouldn't just patch the problem but would provide a lasting fix. As you can see in the before photo, the water issue was significant, creating an unusable space and a potential hazard in their home. After consulting with our team at DBS, we installed our WaterGuard® system, an UltraSump™ pump system, accompanied by a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to control the humidity, and IceGuard® to prevent frozen discharge lines in the cold. The after photo showcases a clean, dry, and revitalized basement showing CleanSpace® ready for the homeowners to enjoy peace of mind no matter the season. Our integrated approach not only met their needs for a permanent fix but also transformed their basement into a dry and healthy space.
