Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Hibbing, MN, reached out to us as their basement was unfit for storage due to water issues. Understanding their vision to reclaim and maximize their basement's potential, we introduced a three-step solution. We installed our WaterGuard system, a robust UltraSump pump, and wrapped it all up with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. After the work was complete, not only is the basement dry and inviting, but it's now fully prepared to become the useful, efficiently outfitted space the homeowner envisioned!

In Hibbing, MN, a homeowner was stressed by water seeping through three walls of their basement, as seen in the left photo. This created not only structural risks but also discomfort in their living space. Seeking a solution, they turned to DBS. We designed a reliable, effective fix by installing our advanced WaterGuard® and CleanSpace® systems, paired with the durable IceGuard® and DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, as shown in the right photo. The result? A transformed, dry, safe, and comfortable basement. With DBS, the homeowner no longer faces water problems, enjoying lasting protection and exceptional customer service.

Facing the worry of a wet basement every time it rained, a Hibbing homeowner reached out to us for help. Tired of the constant trips downstairs to check for flooding, she wanted a lasting solution. As you can see in the before photo, the basement's vulnerability was clear. Our solution? We installed our robust WaterGuard system, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and sealed it off with CleanSpace. The after photo shows a transformed, dry, and worry-free space. Now, descending the stairs is a choice, not a chore, reinforcing our mission to deliver peace of mind alongside our reliable waterproofing solutions.

Homeowners at this residence in Hibbing, MN noticed that water was making its way into their basement and collecting in pools. One of the residents has allergies to mold, and it was frustrating having to manually flush out the excess water in order to protect their living space. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding an effective solution.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to visit the site to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, he noted that failing foundation walls contributed to the water damage issue. Henrik advised the homeowners that DBS offers solutions to fix the waterproofing and foundation issues.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation on this project with his crew. They installed DBS's WaterGuard® draining system to divert the flow of water to a TripleSafe™ triple safe sump pump that pushes the water out and away from the foundation. In addition to the new drainage system, the basement walls were covered in CleanSpace®, a waterproofing poly material to cover leaky walls and direct water into WaterGuard® drains. To correct the foundational issues, they installed DBS's GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the failing walls.

Now that both sets of projects have been successfully installed, the homeowners can relax comfortably in their home knowing that it has been properly waterproofed and permanently stabilized.

The homeowner of this house in Hibbing, MN had recently purchased the property and had DBS's warranty from projects completed previously transferred over to her. One of DBS's Servicemen Jacob Nustad went out to the property to get her accustomed to the DBS hardware that had previously been installed. Upon inspection he noticed that a portion of the floor above was still sagging, so he advised her that the addition of a couple more SmartJack® supports would resolve the issue in the future.

The initial Design Specialist assigned to this job, Rich Johnsen, advised the previous homeowner on solutions that DBS has to offer.

A Foreman from DBS installed the previous projects and work that had been completed includes installing foundational repair products including 3 SmartJack® supports, and 13 PowerBrace™ I-beams, as well as the installation of waterproofing technology called WaterGuard® Drainage System and TripleSafe™ sump pump. CleanSpace® was also installed on the surface of the basement walls in order to direct water into the WaterGuard® drains. The foundation repairs that had been done were to correct wall cracking and sagging floors, and the waterproofing installations were made to protect the basement from water damage.

The new owner of this house has peace of mind knowing that their basement walls have been permanently stabilized, and can relax comfortably knowing that the basement waterproofing system will keep the house dry.
