Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The homeowner of this residence in Grand Rapids, MN noticed their basement had issues with water coming in. In hopes of figuring out a solution to their wet basement issue, the owner reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, Henrik advised the homeowner that DBS would be able to solve the issue by installing a waterproofing solution called WaterGuard® which is designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall and floor joint and guide the water through a drainage pipe directly to your sump pump.

Foreman Jordan Jeseritz led his crew in the installation of this waterproofing project. Together they successfully installed the WaterGuard® drain system and an additional sump pump called SmartSump™ that is exclusive to DBS. The addition of the SmartSump™ will assist the old sump pump in draining water from the basement.

The home has been waterproofed and the leaky basement will have no issues keeping dry. Now the homeowner can finally relax comfortably knowing that their basement is promoting a healthy environment for their home.
