Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner needed help with their forever home in Duluth, MN. Water damage and mold had become a problem in the basement and the homeowner wanted it to be resolved quickly and permanently. 

Design Specialist Quentin Roth assisted the homeowner in a free no-obligation estimate to find the right solution for their forever home. Once the inspection was complete, Quentin recommended the installation of a WaterGuard® Drain System.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team removed concrete in the basement and installed the drainage pipes and sump pump. This French drainage system collects water before it enters your basement. The pipes lead to the sump pump that effectively discharges the water from the system, leaving the basement dry and mold-free. 

This homeowner will no longer have to worry about water intrusion or mold ruining their forever home. 

This homeowner from Duluth, MN, reached out to us with a concerning issue - their basement was facing water intrusion. After a free, no-obligation inspection was set up with Design Specialist Henrik, he went out to take a look at the basement.

After the thorough evaluation, it was clear – the right solution involved not one, not two, but four of our top-tier products: the DoubleSafe© Sump Pump to offer unparalleled water evacuation, the IceGuard© system to prevent discharge line freezing during the harsh Duluth winters, our reliable WaterGuard© drainage system to catch wall and floor seam water leaks, and the CleanSpace© wall system to provide an additional layer of protection against humidity and mold.

Thanks to our production team, led by Foreman Lee, come rain or snow, the homeowner rests easy, assured by the effectiveness of their new basement waterproofing system and enduring quality of our workmanship. 

This Duluth, MN had been standing for 100 years when homeowners bought it in 2012. They started noticing water coming in through cracks in the north wall of the basement, leading to damage to the walls and floor. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS after learning about us on local radio. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the work in the basement. It was determined that a WaterGuard® drainage system would be dug around the perimeter of the basement, accompanied by the CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the wall. 

DBS Field Supervisor Kevin Steffey was the foreman on the job, leading the production crew's installation of the mentioned products. The waterproofing system was completed with two sump pumps, SuperSump® Premier Pump System and an UltraSump®. Those pumps were connected to discharge lines, connected to IceGuard® drains to prevent wintertime freezing.
