Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Leaky South Range, WI Basement Waterproofed
Homeowners in South Range, WI were having issues with moisture entering through cracks in the basement's foundation. Living in the home for about 15 years, they noticed the issues worsening over time, contributing to significant leaking during springtime thaws and heavy rains. After hearing about DBS on local radio, they contacted us for a permanent solution.
DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing system. DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the leading foreman on the job. He and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, as well as CleanSpace® Wall Poly on the walls.
The system directs all moisture to a new SuperSump® Premier sump pump. The crew connected this system to a new discharge line, directing water further away from the home's foundation. The discharge line was fitted with IceGuard® to prevent freezing water in the winter months.
The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a dry basement they can depend on!
