Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hibbing, MN noticed water in their basement that was entering through the foundation on the floor.

They called DBS to come out and give them a free, no-obligation estimate to fix the problem. System Design Specialist Rich Johnsen was able to diagnose the problem and give solutions to fix it. His solution was to install a WaterGuard® system around the perimeter of the basement and to cover the walls with CleanSpace® Wall Poly. Foreman Zach Royer and his crew installed the WaterGuard system along the basement's perimeter walls. 

This now allows the water to drain properly into the new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump system every time.

The homeowner of this home purchased the property a few years ago and unfortunately, the basement began leaking in the area that had been finished. Frustrated with stains that had appeared in the basement carpeting from water damage, they reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. Upon completion of a thorough inspection, he noted to the owners that extensive water damage had been done, but DBS had solutions that could effectively waterproof their basement.

Carpenter Brandon Wollin installed the project with his team and together they installed a WaterGuard® drainage system to help divert to the TripleSafe™ sump pump they also had installed. In addition to the new draining system and sump pump, they also installed CleanSpace®, a waterproof poly material that is applied over walls. CleanSpace® will assist in directing water behind the material down into WaterGuard® drains, and the drains will carry water to the TripleSafe™ sump pump to be expelled out and away from the home through an exterior discharge line.

After completing the project, the home has been effectively waterproofed, and the homeowner can now relax comfortably in their home knowing that their home is safe and dry.

The homeowner of this Hibbing, MN residence had consulted with DBS at the Hibbing Home Show about his leaky basement. Over time, their basement had gotten worse with water damage, and they reached out to DBS to set up an inspection.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. Henrik made notes of water damage in the basement including chipping paint, efflorescence (a white chalky powder that forms when water evaporates), and mold growth. He addressed the owner's concerns and advised them that DBS's waterproofing solutions would provide an effective solution.

A DBS Foreman led the installation for this project. With the help of their crew, they installed WaterGuard® Drain System that would help to direct water to a TripleSafe™ sump pump that would push water out and away from the home. The crew also installed CleanSpace®, a poly material that is applied over walls to guide water behind the fabric down into WaterGuard® drains. Installation of this project was successful and the home has been effectively waterproofed.

The homeowner can now have peace of mind and relax comfortably knowing that their basement will stay drier and promote a healthier and safer environment.

These homeowners in Buhl, MN reached out to DBS for information on waterproofing their leaky basement. They had been having consistent issues with water leaking from the foundation and flowing across the floor. This caused consistent moisture during rainy periods and promoted the growth of mold. 

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman Casey Healy, and his production team installed 124 feet of our WaterGuard® drainage system along the perimeter of the basement, repaired damage to the walls with ZenWall.® The waterproofing system directs all moisture to a new TripleSafe® sump pump.
