Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water would leak into this Farmington, MN basement and pool during periods of heavy rainfall. Wanting to eventually completely finish their basement, the owners knew they needed to tackle the water issue. 

DBS Production Manager Jason Brummer was the Design Specialist for the waterproofing project. He assessed the home's foundation on the interior and exterior of the home. Finding no major structural issues, he determined the best course of action would be to install an interior waterproofing system. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his waterproofing crew began the installation by excavating concrete around the perimeter of the basement. The crew then installed WaterGuard® interior drain tile. Water enters the system via inlet holes in the drain and it is carried to the basement sump pump. Once the WaterGuard® is in place, our team covers the drain with concrete to completely conceal the system. 

This home in Maple, WI had water issues in the basement. Knowing they needed more protection from water intrusion, they connected with DBS to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate.

Rich Johnsen is an expert in basement waterproofing and gave a thorough inspection of the basement. After designing a plan to keep water at bay, our basement waterproofing crew installed a system that would protect the home from water leaking in the basement. 

DBS Foreman Trevor Ingle and his crew began the waterproofing job 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. Water collected in the drain is directed to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump with battery backup.

The crew finished the job by installing IceGuard® on the discharge lines to better protect the sump pump system against freezing conditions.
