Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In McGregor, MN, this homeowner faced years of frustration with a persistently leaky basement, especially challenging after her husband passed. Her split-level home, as shown, struggled under the weight of water intrusion. We stepped in to bring peace of mind and dry floors with our proven solutions: the WaterGuard® drainage system, a reliable DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, and the IceGuard® system to combat freezing. Notice in the after photo—the dry, secure basement space, ready for years of enjoyment without the worry of leaks.

The owner of this home in McGregor, MN discovered their new home had foundation and water issues. Looking for solutions to both, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, they generated a free quote that recommended our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System for the foundation issues as well as our waterproofing system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 4 PowerBrace™ i-beams to permanently stabilize the foundation walls in the basement. For the water issues, the crew installed our WaterGuard® french drain system and a sump pump to expel water up and away from the foundation. To finish the waterproofing aspect of the project, the crew installed a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized and properly waterproofed, the homeowner can relax more peacefully in their new home.

Facing a basement plagued by leaks during rain and spring melts, the homeowner envisioned a dry, rejuvenated space matching the rest of their renovated haven. As shown, our solution involved installing WaterGuard for hidden drainage, IceGuard to prevent blockages, and CleanSpace to waterproof walls, aiming for minimal disruption and preserving details like floor tiles. Now, the once troublesome basement stands ready, not just for the current owners but as a value-add for future sales, showcasing our commitment to quality, lasting results.

A client called DBS looking to waterproof their basement and replace some cabinets and shelving in the basement area surrounding the old waterproofing system. DBS uses a WaterGuard® system to waterproof homes efficiently, that also looks nice. We worked on the basement to replace the outdated system and install our new, long-lasting WaterGuard® waterproofing system to make sure that our clients basement is safe and dry, making sure that no moisture creates mildew smell or mold present. We sent our Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, to the house to successfully waterproof the home for our clients!
