Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was entering this home in Saginaw, MN through cracks in the foundation walls. Homeowners reached out to DBS for help fixing their cracked and leaky basement.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Henrik recommended installing our WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system, a TripleSafe™ sump pump, and PowerBrace™ wall support beams to keep this basement dry and sturdy. These systems are installed with a nationally backed fully-transferable warranty and offer permanent home performance solutions. 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist generated a quote for our waterproofing systems.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed WaterGuard french drain system® by jackhammering trenches in their basement and placing the drains into the crevices. The crew filled in the gaps with concrete for a flush finish. They also installed a new sump pump to help expel water up and away from the home.

Now that the basement has been thoroughly waterproofed, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

This homeowner in Chisholm, MN contacted DBS after experiencing water issues in their basement which was getting in the way of remodeling the basement. Their main concern was that the water was backing up through the manhole which was resulting in basement flooding. This had occurred twice in the past six years and they wanted a permeant solution.

Upon inspection, the homeowner wanted to get a new sump pump installed in their basement with our waterproofing system. The crew managed to get out to the property and install the new sump pump. Once a final walkthrough was complete, the homeowner was thrilled about the new sump pump!

When a new homeowner in Chisholm, MN discovered their basement leaked, making it unusable for their artwork, they turned to us. As seen in the before photo, water intrusion was a major issue. Thankfully, we were able to turn things around. By installing our TripleSafe© Sump Pump, WaterGuard©, and IceGuard© systems - visible in the after photo – we transformed their space into a dry, dependable area perfect for fostering creativity.

The windows in this basement were not idea for this situation. They allowed water to leak into the basement and their low insulation rating made then house much less efficient. With the sunrise windows we installed the basement is now more insulated and water no longer leaks through this the window openings.
