Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner from Duluth, MN, reached out to us with a concerning issue - their basement was facing water intrusion. After a free, no-obligation inspection was set up with Design Specialist Henrik, he went out to take a look at the basement.

After the thorough evaluation, it was clear – the right solution involved not one, not two, but four of our top-tier products: the DoubleSafe© Sump Pump to offer unparalleled water evacuation, the IceGuard© system to prevent discharge line freezing during the harsh Duluth winters, our reliable WaterGuard© drainage system to catch wall and floor seam water leaks, and the CleanSpace© wall system to provide an additional layer of protection against humidity and mold.

Thanks to our production team, led by Foreman Lee, come rain or snow, the homeowner rests easy, assured by the effectiveness of their new basement waterproofing system and enduring quality of our workmanship. 

This Duluth, MN had been standing for 100 years when homeowners bought it in 2012. They started noticing water coming in through cracks in the north wall of the basement, leading to damage to the walls and floor. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS after learning about us on local radio. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the work in the basement. It was determined that a WaterGuard® drainage system would be dug around the perimeter of the basement, accompanied by the CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the wall. 

DBS Field Supervisor Kevin Steffey was the foreman on the job, leading the production crew's installation of the mentioned products. The waterproofing system was completed with two sump pumps, SuperSump® Premier Pump System and an UltraSump®. Those pumps were connected to discharge lines, connected to IceGuard® drains to prevent wintertime freezing. 

A homeowner near Proctor, MN reached out to us looking for help with their damp basement. One of our Design Specialists provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate after a thorough inspection of the basement. One of our crews installed our basement waterproofing products to thoroughly waterproof the space, giving the homeowner peace of mind.

A Proctor, 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. This led to the homeowner feeling confident their basement will be dry moving forward!

A Duluth homeowner had a vision of turning a damp, unusable basement into a cozy bedroom, but moisture had other plans. To overcome this challenge, we brought in a powerful combination: CleanSpace® and WaterGuard® to control stubborn moisture, while the UltraSump™ and TripleSafe™ Sump Pump systems worked tirelessly to prevent future water issues. The result? A stunning transformation. As seen in the before-and-after images, the basement is now dry, comfortable, and ready to create lasting memories in its new, welcoming form.
