Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Cloquet, MN were in the process of finishing their basement when they decided they needed to find a solution for the water leakage they were experiencing. Looking for a permanent solution, they turned to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen assisted these homeowners in a free no-obligation estimate in order to find the right solution for their homes. After a carefully conducted inspection, Rich recommended a WaterGuard® Drain System.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team removed concrete from the basement and placed drainage pipes that connect to a sump pump. This WaterGuard® drain collects water through the walls and at the floor joists in order to catch any intrusion before it enters your basement. The water is then transported to a sump pump and discarded from the home. After installing the drain system, the concrete is replaced in a smooth and flush manner. 

With their new DBS solution, these homeowners can relax knowing they have a dry, safe basement.
