Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Faced with a persistently damp basement that took a turn for the worse after a storm, this Duluth homeowner reached out to us for a change. As you can see in the before photo, the water issue was daunting. But look at the after picture! Our team installed WaterGuard® for efficient water channeling, CleanSpace® for moisture control, and finally a DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump ensuring a dry, usable space. A transformation from water woes to a worry-free basement - that's our promise realized.

This Duluth basement was damp and moldy when the homeowners needed a solution to stop water and moisture from staying in their basement. They gave DBS a call to solve their problem.

Our Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, quickly came to evaluate the situation. He concluded that this basement would need a complete waterproofing plan using a new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System in addition to permanent wall stabilization using Power Brace™ technology. Our Foreman arrived and the Power Brace™ beams were installed first along the perimeter of the basement to stabilize the caving walls. Then, a Triple Safe Sump Pump was installed to keep the basement dry.

These homeowners now enjoy a dry, safe and stable basement year-round. 

These Duluth homeowners reached out to DBS after being referred by a contractor working on a different section of their house. They had been having issues with mold and rotting wood in their basement and wanted a permanent solution to the problem.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement flooring, next NexusPro™ was installed over all cracks on the wall, and then CleanSpace® Wall Poly was installed on the walls. This system makes any water flow to a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to keep water out of the basement for good.

This home now has a safe and dry basement to enjoy with a clean new look. 

The owner of this home in Duluth, MN reached out to us looking for help with their wet basement. One of our Design Specialists went 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 System.

One of our crews came out to install our waterproofing products in the basement. First, they installed WaterGuard® french drains around the basement walls into trenches that they jackhammered. Then they installed CleanSpace® water vapor barrier, a thick poly material that will collect runoff from the walls.

Now that the basement has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

These Duluth homeowners reached out to DBS to fix water issues in their garage. They had lived in the home for about 5 years and noticed the issue the first winter living in the home. The water was pooling in the garage and seeping in through the home's foundation. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman Casey Healy and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, connecting it to a brand-new SuperSump® pump.

This garage now has an efficient system to handle water and will direct it out and away from the rest of the home.
