Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

After we had stabilized the foundation it was time to waterproof the walls so that the homeowner would no longer have to deal with water coming in their basement and causing issues with the finished area they had created. With the new drain tile installed around the perimeter of the space we installed our CleanSpace wall poly from the top of the wall leading into the drain tile. This helps direct any water along this course which eventually leads to the new sump pump which directs the water out of the home. 

When basements flood it is often caused by the water that gathers around the base of the home finding a path of least resistance directly into the home. In order to reduce the amount of water gathering around the base of the home we give it a better path to follow. Having a drain tile installed in this home helps to direct water that could potentially enter from under and around the home into the drain tile which leads to the sump pump that carries the water away from the home. Our typical waterproofing system is installed with our CleanSpace wall poly which helps with the additional water that finds its way in through the walls. Our system allows that water to pass through the walls and then directs it into the drain tile. When a complete perimeter system is in place the homeowner will no longer have to worry about water entering from the base and walls of the home. 

Whether our customer needs a complete egress window set up or a simple window well we want to help provide our customers with the right solutions and we have multiple options which we can offer. At this Duluth, Minnesota home the current basement window was allowing water to seep into the basement, so the homeowner knew they would want to have a better window well installed on the outside of the home. Looking at the different options offered by DBS Residential Solutions this homeowner decided it would be smart to go with a covered window well that would keep water away from the window opening and prevent water and mud from splashing up against the window as well. This setup provides a layer of protection for the window and requires minimal effort to keep the window clean and bright.

A homeowner in Proctor, MN had a basement that was unfinished, and they reached out to DBS for help with finishing ideas. Besides making the area look nice, basement finishing can also help with moisture and odor control, among other things. After a free, no-obligation estimate, it was decided that the remodeling would include a variety of items. The photos here show the unfinished basement in the "before" section, and the "after" section shows the EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels that were installed. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more comofrtable basement environment. 

Before reaching out to us, this Duluth homeowner faced a frustrating issue with indoor air quality. The before photo highlights their challenging situation. We stepped in with our solution by installing the EverLast Finished "Half Wall" Restoration Panel, the Aspen Air System, and the SaniDry™ Sedona. The after photo showcases a transformed space, now cleaner, safer, and healthier. We're proud to have provided a durable solution that reflects our commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience and lasting results.
