Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

These Cloquet homeowners reached out to DBS after seeing our newspaper ads. They had been having issues with water pooling in their basement and wanted a permanent solution to the problem. Design Specialist Royce Bunn provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to keep water out of the basement for good. This home now has a clean, safe and dry basement to enjoy.
