Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI reached out to DBS looking for help with their wet basement. Their floorboards were beginning to rot so they needed a solution sooner rather than later. One of our Design Specialists provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate after a thorough inspection, recommending our Basement Waterproofing and Wall Restoration Systems. One of our crews installed our WaterGuard® french drain system by ripping away the bottom portion of the wall and placing the drains along the floor. They restored the bottom portion of the walls with our water-resistant EverLast™ panels to ensure the basement stays drier, giving the homeowner peace of mind.

This customer had some major water damage in their basement. The family was upset because they spend a lot of time in their basement together. The homeowner reached out to DBS and set an appointment for a specialist to inspect their home. After inspection, it was proposed to have a WaterGuard system installed along with a new, TrippleSafe sump pump. Our crew, with Foreman, Zach Royer, installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. 

This homeowner in Eau Claire, WI discovered a hidden leak behind their basement walls. Having found water and mold, they decided they wanted a permanent fix before continuing with their basement renovations. 

Design Specialist Jesse Williams assisted this homeowner in a free no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for their home. After close inspection, Jesse recommended the installation of a WaterGuard® drain system.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team installed the French drainage system in the home. This system collects water from the walls and floors before it has the chance to enter the living space. It is then carried through the drains to a sump pump and discharged from the home. The WaterGuard® system is an efficient way to keep your home dry and mold-free.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is free of mold and moisture. 

The owner of this home in Keewatin, MN was becoming frustrated after tireless attempts at trying to maintain a dry basement. During the rainy season, water would seep through cracks in the basement wall, causing damage to the paint and on the basement floor. In hopes of finding a proper waterproofing solution, the homeowner called DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James determined a solution that would help resolve the issue. James explained DBS's WaterGuard® drainage system solution to the owner and advised them that it would help direct water into a SingleSafe™ sump pump that would expel water up and away from the foundation. 

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project. With the help of a crew, they installed the SingleSafe™ sump pump and WaterGuard® system. The WaterGuard® system is installed by jackhammering trenches along the perimeter of the basement and placing the drains into the trenches. The drains are positioned so that they empty into the SingleSafe™ sump pump and are then covered with cement for a seamless finish. The WaterGuard® drains will help collect water running down basement walls.

Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the owner can now relax more comfortably in their home knowing that their basement is dry and promoting a healthier and safer environment. 

An Cloquet, 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!
