Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The homeowner of this Hibbing, MN residence had consulted with DBS at the Hibbing Home Show about his leaky basement. Over time, their basement had gotten worse with water damage, and they reached out to DBS to set up an inspection.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. Henrik made notes of water damage in the basement including chipping paint, efflorescence (a white chalky powder that forms when water evaporates), and mold growth. He addressed the owner's concerns and advised them that DBS's waterproofing solutions would provide an effective solution.

A DBS Foreman led the installation for this project. With the help of their crew, they installed WaterGuard® Drain System that would help to direct water to a TripleSafe™ sump pump that would push water out and away from the home. The crew also installed CleanSpace®, a poly material that is applied over walls to guide water behind the fabric down into WaterGuard® drains. Installation of this project was successful and the home has been effectively waterproofed.

The homeowner can now have peace of mind and relax comfortably knowing that their basement will stay drier and promote a healthier and safer environment.

The homeowner of this house in Hibbing, MN had recently purchased the property and had DBS's warranty from projects completed previously transferred over to her. One of DBS's Servicemen Jacob Nustad went out to the property to get her accustomed to the DBS hardware that had previously been installed. Upon inspection he noticed that a portion of the floor above was still sagging, so he advised her that the addition of a couple more SmartJack® supports would resolve the issue in the future.

The initial Design Specialist assigned to this job, Rich Johnsen, advised the previous homeowner on solutions that DBS has to offer.

A Foreman from DBS installed the previous projects and work that had been completed includes installing foundational repair products including 3 SmartJack® supports, and 13 PowerBrace™ I-beams, as well as the installation of waterproofing technology called WaterGuard® Drainage System and TripleSafe™ sump pump. CleanSpace® was also installed on the surface of the basement walls in order to direct water into the WaterGuard® drains. The foundation repairs that had been done were to correct wall cracking and sagging floors, and the waterproofing installations were made to protect the basement from water damage.

The new owner of this house has peace of mind knowing that their basement walls have been permanently stabilized, and can relax comfortably knowing that the basement waterproofing system will keep the house dry.

Foreman Glen Olcott led the installation of this project with help from a team. The team placed the drain lines within trenches along the perimeter of the basement walls. These drains collect the water and transport it to the sump pump where it is removed from the home. CleanSpace® was then applied to the walls for a clean finish and to help guide the water intrusion to the drain lines.
