Before & After Photos

In Carlton, MN, this homeowner was experiencing water leakage in their basement. To avoid further water damage, and the hassle of cleaning up, they turned to DBS to help find the best solution for their home. 

Design Specialist Jacob Nustad assisted this homeowner in a free no-obligation estimate. After close inspection, it was decided that a WaterGuard® drainage system would be the most effective solution for this problem. 

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project with help from a partner. Together, the pair installed a WaterGuard® french drain system. This waterproofing system is installed by placing a drain system under the concrete; this drain collects water seepage from the walls and floor joists and moves it to a sump pump in order to get rid of the unwanted water intrusion quickly and effectively.

This homeowner will not have to worry about flooding in their basement and can now relax in their healthy home. 

These Duluth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS when their basement walls began to crack and bow.

Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. DBS Foreman and their production crew installed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to immediately stabilize the bowing walls. Over time the PowerBrace® System is tightened by our service team to restore the wall to level.

This basement is now permanently stabilized and safe for the family to enjoy!

Transforming a damp, unfinished basement in Wrenshall, MN, into a cozy and dry future living space was our mission. The homeowner's vision? To add bedrooms and a bathroom for their growing family. The challenge? A wet, uninviting space, as you can see in the "before" photo. Our solution paired WaterGuard® for leak prevention, the SaniDry™ Sedona for moisture control, and the DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump for ultimate water evacuation. The result? A dry, welcoming basement ready for transformation, shown proudly in our "after" photo.

This Chetek, WI home was built in 2000. Just this year, the homeowners had isssues with water intrusion in their basement, that caused damage to their drywall and plywood walls. 

Our Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing work. It was determined that a drainage system and new sump pump were needed to protect the home after heavy rains. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and crew worked on the interior waterproofing job. The crew began by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage, directing it to a new SingleSafe™ sump pump. The crew finished the job by burying adding an IceGuard® outlet to prevent any winter time freezeups of the discharge line.

This homeowner no longer has to worry about basement flooding, and can count on a dry basement going forward.
