Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These homeowners from Superior, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help keeping their cracked and leaky basement walls dry and stable. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Henrik recommended installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams to stabilize the walls, CleanSpace® vapor barrier to stop water and a WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system to drain water out of the home for good.

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

DBS recently completed a project for a homeowner who needed to address water intrusion in their basement before moving forward with remodeling plans. The house was experiencing water issues on two walls, which threatened the renovation work being done by the homeowners daughter and her boyfriend. DBS installed a WaterGuard system and a DoubleSafe sump pump to ensure the basement remained dry and secure.

This owner was in the middle of completing a house flip in Superior, WI, and decided to get professional help with their waterproofing needs. The homeowner trusted DBS with this project. 

Design Specialist Quentin Roth assisted this homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for the home project. After a careful inspection, Quentin recommended the installation of a WaterGuard® Drain System. 

Foreman Dustin Behning led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team removed some of the flooring around the perimeter of the home. Then they installed drainage pipes that will collect water from the floor joists and walls, before it enters the home. This drain will then allow the water to travel to a sump pump in order to be discharged outside of the home, keeping the space clean and dry. After the installation, concrete is poured and CleanSpace® material is applied in order to create a clean, flush finish.

This homeowner can now continue their house renovations without worrying about any more water issues. 

This homeowner was due for an annual maintenance appointment for their WaterGuard® system.

Jacob, DBS's Service Manager, performed the annual inspection and maintenance, starting with flushing out the WaterGuard® system. Since the home was actively being remodeled, debris was flushed out of the system. After the system was flushed out, the WaterGuard® was operating like new. The homeowner was also concerned about some effervescence coming through the slab, and Jacob inspected the area.

As part of our DBS Care Club, an annual maintenance appointment also includes cleaning the sump pump and basin. Once these tasks were completed, the TripleSafe™ sump pump was running like new as well! 

This homeowner in Superior, WI was experiencing water intrusion in their basement during heavy rains and the transition from winter to spring. Tired of dealing with the hassle and mess, they reached out to DBS for a solution. 

Design Specialist Jake Gilmer assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the best solution for the home's needs. After conducting an inspection, Jake provided an estimate for our WaterGuard® Drain System.

Foreman Dustin Behning led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team dug trenches around the perimeter of the wall where the flooding was occurring and placed the drains lines within. These drain lines lead to a newly installed sump pump that will expel the water outside of the home.

This homeowner can now relax in their healthy, happy, and dry home.
