Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing and Stabilization System Keep Duluth, MN Home Healthy, Safe, and Comfortable

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help repairing their wet basement. After talking with us at the Duluth home show they were ready for a permanent home performance solution. DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. During the inspection of the home, Rich discovered structural damage that was contributing to the water problem. The complete waterproofing solution for this home included CleanSpace® waterproofing vapor barrier, our WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system, and a new TripleSafe™ sump pump. The walls were immediately stabilized using PowerBrace™ support beams. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his production crew. This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
