Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

The owner of this home in Angora, MN reached out to us looking for help with their wet basement.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our Basement Waterproofing Service.

One of our Foremen led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed our WaterGuard® french drain system around the interior perimeter of the basement.

Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind from water in their basement!
