Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These homeowners from Grand Rapids, MN reached out to DBS for help keeping their basement healthy, safe, and more comfortable. They had been experiencing issues with unwanted moisture, musty odors, and mold in their basement when they called. 

DBS Design Specialist,  Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property, Henrik diagnosed a solution to keep moisture out of this basement for good. Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew worked hard to install a CleanSpace® waterproof barrier around the perimeter of the basement. This barrier collects water and will drain into our WaterGuard® french drain system, which empties through a sump pump. This system will not need to be cleaned or emptied!

This basement is now dry and can be used for storage. Each of the products installed has a nationally-backed warranty that can be transferred to a new owner.
