Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Gordon, WI was looking to ramp up their basement waterproofing system a bit, and reached out to DBS for some assistance. The area already had an exisitng sump pump, so that was one step in the right direction. After a free, no-obligation estimate, it was determined that the basement would also need to have WaterGuard® installed, which acts as a drainage system for unwanted water making its way through the basement. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more efficient basement system. 

In Cotton, MN, a homeowner faced a common yet frustrating issue: a leaky basement that caused unpleasant odors, especially noticeable after being away. Our goal was to turn this damp space into a dry, inviting environment. As shown in these before-and-after photos, our team installed the WaterGuard® system, a DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, and IceGuard® to effectively prevent future leaks. The basement has truly transformed from a concerning damp area to a dry and comfortable space. With a commitment to exceptional customer service, we’ve not only resolved the leaks but also alleviated the homeowner’s worries, demonstrating our expertise in turning basement troubles into triumphs.

Recently, a homeowner in tranquil Stone Lake, WI, contacted us about water seeping into their basement. Understanding the urgency and potential damage, our team swiftly responded. After a thorough inspection, we recommended and installed WaterGuard®, IceGuard®, and a SingleSafe™ sump pump to fortify the basement against future water issues. The result? A dry, welcoming space ready to handle any challenge, reflecting our commitment to reliable solutions and exceptional customer service at DBS.

This Britt, MN home was built in 2005 but unfortunately, the foundation walls in the basement were beginning to crack. Over time, soil pressure had caused its foundation walls to crack and bow. The homeowners lived in the space for about 4 years before discovering the issue when water began to leak in from the cracked and bowed block walls. 

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the work. After visiting the home, Nathan recommended the installation of a waterproofing and foundation repair system to fully protect the home. 

Because this home had multiple home repair needs, it was broken up into 2 projects. Our highly-trained installers from both foundation support and waterproofing visited the home to complete the repair in their area of expertise. 

DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his crew installed the full waterproofing system in this basement. It consists of a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to stop water and a WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system to drain water. These two products connect to a new SingleSafe™ sump pump that will keep water out of the home for good.

DBS Foreman Nick Burley and crew installed 4 PowerBrace™ wall support beams to stabilize the walls and prevent any further movement. These galvanized steel I-beams will be tightened over time with the goal of restoring the wall to its original position. 

The homeowners can now rest easy knowing their home is healthy, safe, and comfortable!
