Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Duluth, MN, we took on a special project, transforming a basement in an historic building—from its previous life as a school (1892-1982) to a secure, watertight foundation for new apartments. Initially, the basement mirrored its age, showing signs of wear and posing structural concerns. But as you can see in the after photo, our comprehensive solution revitalized it. Our crew installed WaterGuard® and IceGuard® for unparalleled waterproofing, the SaniDry™ Sedona for dehumidification, and a SingleSafe™ Sump Pump system ensuring the space remains dry and healthy for years to come. We wrapped the interior foundation walls in our CleanSpace® liner, dramatically improving the basement's appearance and sealing out moisture. This project not only safeguarded the building's structural integrity but also restored its potential for creative, functional spaces—showcasing our dedication to delivering reliable and lasting solutions while enhancing our customers' living environments.

This homeowner reached out to DBS after experiencing water entering the basement of their restaurant.

To address the water problem, our Design Specialist recommended replacing the current sump pump and basin with a double safe sump pump system, tied in with a water guard.  The expectation is for the basement to be dry and clean upon completion of the project.

Once our crew was able to come in, they quickly installed the new sump pump system and the owners were happy with the results!

We understand the frustration of dealing with a wet basement, and this Duluth homeowner knows that all too well. Water intrusion had turned everyday life into an ongoing struggle. But that’s where we came in! As shown in the "before" photo, the issue was clear and concerning. However, the "after" photo reveals the remarkable transformation. With our advanced waterproofing solution, including products like WaterGuard®, DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, and CleanSpace® , we effectively protected the basement from future water damage. The result? Peace of mind restored. Every home deserves to be safe, dry, and comfortable, and we’re proud to help make that a reality.

This home in Duluth, MN needed help to fix the water intrusion issues. The homeowner wanted a professional solution, so they trusted DBS to help.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a careful inspection, Rich provided a quote for our WaterGuard® Drain System. 

Foreman Dustin Behning led the installation of this project. Trenches were created around the perimeter of the basement and the drain lines were placed within. These drains will collect the unwanted water and transport it to the sump pump where it will be expelled form the home.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is dry and healthy.
