Moisture issues were plaguing this crawl space in Anoka, MN. Tired of living with the musty smells throughout the home, the owner contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate of encapsulating the space.
DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo came up with a solution that would take care of the musty smells and even make the whole house warmer. Our crawl space encapsulation system seals and insulates with 3 layers of moisture and mold-resistant materials.
Tyler Nacey led a crew to encapsulate the crawl space. They began by installing drainage matting against the dirt crawl space floor. From there, our TerraBlock™ crawl space insulation was installed, creating a radiant barrier. The last layer is CleanSpace®, a thick poly sheet that will prevent moisture and musty odors from developing and traveling through the rest of the home.

The owner of this home in Anoka, MN wanted to expand the living space in their basement. However, they first needed to find a way to keep water out of their basement. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.
A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, they recommended our WaterGuard® System.
A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed the WaterGuard® System by jackhammering trenches around the perimeter of the basement and placing the WaterGuard® tubing into each trench. They smoothed over the area with concrete for a flush finish. The drains will help direct water into a sump pump that is able to expel water up and away from the foundation.
Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can finish the basement to create more living space without worrying about water damage to the space.

This sump pump comes with 2 pumps that work together in the case of heavy rain. An additional pump with a battery back-up is also connected to this pump in the event of a power outage.
Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.
After the helical piers were driven into the ground, they were attached to the steel beams with a bracket, shown here.

Anoka, MN Leaky Basement Repair with New Drainage and Sump Pump
This Anoka, MN basement was leaking from the foundation walls. Looking for a permanent solution to the water in their partially finished basement, the homeowners contacted DBS.
DBS Design Specialist Scott Gilles visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing system. DBS Foreman George Barry and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement.
The system directs all moisture to a new TripleSafe™ premier sump pump. The crew connected this system to a new discharge line, directing water further away from the home's foundation. The discharge line was fitted with IceGuard® to prevent freezing water in the winter months.
The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a dry basement they can depend on!
