Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Hermantown homeowner reached out to DBS when their basement began to cave in and leak water.

Our Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, quickly came to evaluate the damage and create a plan of action. After seeing the foundational damage it was determined Geo-Lock Wall Anchors will need to be installed before waterproofing can take place. Five Geo-Lock® Wall Anchors were installed by Foreman Zach Royer and his production team to stabilize the walls before our WaterGuard® system and a SaniDry™ Sedona Sump Pump were installed in the basement. 

The homeowner now enjoys a stable, safe and dry basement all year round!

This was causing tripping hazards and was a general concern for the owner. A Design Specialist from DBS visited and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the concrete repair.

The results were great, and the owner can now feel more comfortable with their improved driveway area. 

The basement of this Hermantown, MN was damaged when water seeped into their basement. The home had an existing drain and sump pump, but it was proving insufficient waterproofing system. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS.

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project and recommended that the old drain be removed and a new drain system installed in its place.

A DBS foreman and crew installed a new french drain system and CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier along the perimeter of the basement. This system directs all the moisture to the home's existing sump pump.

The installation was successful and provided a solid solution to the leaking water.
