Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in Duluth, MN was experiencing water damage and heavy moisture when the homeowner reached out to DBS.

Our Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, quickly came to evaluate the situation. He concluded that the basement would need our WaterGuard® System and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to ensure a dry and moisture-free area. With a plan set, Foreman, Zach Royer, and his production team came to the home and got to work on the project.

After installation of the WaterGuard® System on the walls and TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, this homeowner now enjoys a clean, dry basement.

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!

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.

From wet to dry, our recent project in Duluth, MN exemplifies the transformative work we're renowned for. Initially, the homeowner encountered a common challenge—a damp basement that made it unsuitable for renting. Visible in the 'before' photo were clear signs of moisture and cracks.

Our solution? We implemented a combination of PowerBrace™ to permanently stabilize the basement walls, WaterGuard® for discreet yet highly effective drainage, CleanSpace® for sealing and protection, and completed with a DoubleSafe™ pump system to ensure continuous water management.
