Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hibbing, MN noticed water in their basement that was entering through the foundation on the floor.

They called DBS to come out and give them a free, no-obligation estimate to fix the problem. System Design Specialist Rich Johnsen was able to diagnose the problem and give solutions to fix it. His solution was to install a WaterGuard® system around the perimeter of the basement and to cover the walls with CleanSpace® Wall Poly. Foreman Zach Royer and his crew installed the WaterGuard system along the basement's perimeter walls. 

This now allows the water to drain properly into the new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump system every time.

A homeowner contacted DBS with a desire to resolve mold and water issues in their basement since they plan to stay in their home for the long term. The project was carried out by replacing the old sump pump with the TripleSafe® Sump Pump, installing WaterGuard along the walls to ensure that water flows directly to the sump pump, and lining the walls with CleanSpace® wall protectant to prevent mold growth in the future.

A homeowner in Hibbing, MN, reached out to us as their basement was unfit for storage due to water issues. Understanding their vision to reclaim and maximize their basement's potential, we introduced a three-step solution. We installed our WaterGuard system, a robust UltraSump pump, and wrapped it all up with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. After the work was complete, not only is the basement dry and inviting, but it's now fully prepared to become the useful, efficiently outfitted space the homeowner envisioned!

Homeowners at this residence in Hibbing, MN noticed that water was making its way into their basement and collecting in pools. One of the residents has allergies to mold, and it was frustrating having to manually flush out the excess water in order to protect their living space. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding an effective solution.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to visit the site to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, he noted that failing foundation walls contributed to the water damage issue. Henrik advised the homeowners that DBS offers solutions to fix the waterproofing and foundation issues.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation on this project with his crew. They installed DBS's WaterGuard® draining system to divert the flow of water to a TripleSafe™ triple safe sump pump that pushes the water out and away from the foundation. In addition to the new drainage system, the basement walls were covered in CleanSpace®, a waterproofing poly material to cover leaky walls and direct water into WaterGuard® drains. To correct the foundational issues, they installed DBS's GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the failing walls.

Now that both sets of projects have been successfully installed, the homeowners can relax comfortably in their home knowing that it has been properly waterproofed and permanently stabilized.

The homeowner of this home purchased the property a few years ago and unfortunately, the basement began leaking in the area that had been finished. Frustrated with stains that had appeared in the basement carpeting from water damage, they reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. Upon completion of a thorough inspection, he noted to the owners that extensive water damage had been done, but DBS had solutions that could effectively waterproof their basement.

Carpenter Brandon Wollin installed the project with his team and together they installed a WaterGuard® drainage system to help divert to the TripleSafe™ sump pump they also had installed. In addition to the new draining system and sump pump, they also installed CleanSpace®, a waterproof poly material that is applied over walls. CleanSpace® will assist in directing water behind the material down into WaterGuard® drains, and the drains will carry water to the TripleSafe™ sump pump to be expelled out and away from the home through an exterior discharge line.

After completing the project, the home has been effectively waterproofed, and the homeowner can now relax comfortably in their home knowing that their home is safe and dry.
