Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

New owners of this home in Moose Lake, MN had issues with water in their partially finished basement. Before purchasing the home, they had us come out to provide a thorough estimate for a new waterproofing system. After they bought the house, they began to move forward with the home repairs. 

Our Design Specialist Henrik Maktialo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing work. It was determined that a new, full protection waterproofing system was needed to protect the home after heavy rains. 

DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and crew worked on the interior waterproofing job. The crew began by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage, directing it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump. The crew finished the job by burying the discharge line in the lawn away from the home. 

This family can now rest easy knowing their basement has the utmost protection in waterproofing technology.

This Barnum, MN basement, once a victim of relentless flooding, rendered it unusable and frustrating for the homeowner. After reaching out to us, our Appointment Center quickly scheduled a free, no obligation inspection. Design Specialist Jake Gilmer took a look at the basement and recommended the WaterGuard© and CleanSpace© technology as a permanent fix. Production team, led by Foreman Lee Krouse then got to work installing our top-notch WaterGuard© system alongside the CleanSpace© technology, transforming this waterlogged space into a dry, comfortable, and usable area of the home. 

In Barnum, MN, a homeowner struggled with water intrusion in their basement and reached out for help. Our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection, where our System Design Specialist assessed the situation and identified the need for modern waterproofing. We recommended the Mel-Rol™ and Lawnscape™ systems: Mel-Rol™ prevents water entry, while Lawnscape™ manages surface water around the foundation. Both systems are installed quickly with minimal disruption. Our skilled team efficiently integrated these solutions, resulting in a basement free from water intrusion. The homeowner can now enjoy a dry, worry-free space, thanks to our effective waterproofing solutions.

The owner of this home in Barnum, MN had issues with water in their basement and reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

 A DBS Design Specialist went to the property in order to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, they recommended our SuperSump™ sump pump.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed the SuperSump™ pump in the basement at the lowest part in order to ensure water was able to flow into the basin to be expelled out and away from the foundation through a discharge line outside of the home.

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

Up the North Shore in Grand Marais, radon levels are commonly known to be in the danger zone. Due to the fact that radon can have serious effects on one's health, this homeowner wanted to find out the radon level in their own home. Although there is no safe level of radon, 4.0 pCi/L is the recommended level when action must be taken. This homeowner did some research and reached out to DBS, to have them make a trip out to the home for a free test. The results that came back showed the levels ranged from 11 pCi/L to 18 pCi/L, meaning a great danger for the homeowner. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, only second to smoking, which put the homeowner at a greater risk by having these high levels. The Specialist that came out to test the home, then explained to the homeowner what the best possible route would be to take care of the danger. The first step would be to seal all cracks in the home, but especially those in the basement, because radon comes from the ground. With all the cracks sealed, a fan moisture guard would be installed to filter out any radon gases trying to enter the home. This would then be transferred from the basement to the outside and above the home. After going through a thorough explanation and coming to a comfortable price agreement, a date was set to have a crew come out to complete the installation. Once that was complete, the levels were brought down so the homeowner no longer had to worry about the risk of exposure of radon. With radon no longer posing a threat, the homeowner was spared any additional health effects through the work of DBS.
