Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

A couple from Wayzata, MN called DBS with a water problem in their basement. They had lived in their home for 20+ years, and they had noticed the mildew scent and mold problem growing in their basement. The water damage had moved to their flooring and they needed to fix the damage as soon as possible. DBS sent our Design Specialist, Henrick Makitalo, to the home, their solution was our SaniDry dehumidifier and basement waterproofing system. After installation of our SaniDry, the mold problem was resolved and DBS could move forward to work on redoing the floor areas that had water damage.

Our customer was very satisfied with our work, he said that the DBS team had very hard workers and he was proud to say that we were problem-solvers with great solutions. We worked directly with him to hear his opinions along the way, tell him about the benefits of our services, and ensure his house turned out the way he wanted. He even liked the SaniDry dehumidifier so much, he purchased another one for his cabin!

This house was in need of a new drain tile. There was standing water in the basement and the old drain tile was not effectively draining water away from the footing of the home. Our team went to work to install a complete drain tile around the home with very little disturbance to the existing basement as can be seen from these photos. This homeowner also took advantage of our variety of services offered and had us insulate their attic and the rim joists around their basement.

When adding living space to a home it is the safety conscious and often legal decision to create an egress basement window which allows for a quick escape in event of an emergency. In addition to providing insulation, doors, and windows, DBS Residential Solutions also offers basement finishing services. The combination of our energy efficient windows and basement finishing egress window wells helped make this project become a reality that has a pleasant visual appeal to it.  This home can now increase its value by creating an additional bedroom or other living space. We always recommend our customers review our basement finishing options when looking to finish a basement. We offer inorganic products that will not mold or rot when they become wet.

These Duluth homeowners reached out to DBS after seeing our trucks around town. They had been having issues with water entering portions of their basement and wanted a permanent solution to the problem.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. A DBS Foreman and their production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement and a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to keep water out of the basement for good. The flooring was the last step to the project and now this home now has a clean, safe and dry basement to enjoy.
