Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These Duluth homeowners reached out to DBS for information on waterproofing their leaky basement.  They had another company replace their basement drainage about 15 years ago but were still experiencing mold in their basement due to excess water. 

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. The system directs all moisture to the home's existing sump pump.

This home now has a safe and dry basement to enjoy!

This homeowner in Duluth, MN had plans to finish their basement. However, they needed to address the water intrusion issues first to ensure their new renovations would not be ruined. They also needed to focus on waterproofing to stop the mold growth in the basement. 

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams assisted these homeowners with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful and thorough inspection, it was decided that our WaterGuard® French Drain System would be the best option. 

Foreman Fred Bozvay led the installation of this project with help from a team. The team began by creating trenches in the basement, where the drain lines were placed. These drain lines collect the unwanted water and transport it to the newly installed TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. The water is then discharged from the home, leaving it dry and healthy.

This homeowner can now relax and finish their home renovation projects with a piece of mind.
