Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Leaking Basement in Esko, MN Repaired with Waterproofing System

Owners of this home in Esko, MN had issues with water in their partially finished basement. After having a partial waterproofing system installed by another company, they decided they need more protection in their basement and called DBS. Our Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing work. It was determined that a new, full protection waterproofing system was needed to protect the home after heavy rains. DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and crew worked on the interior waterproofing job. The crew began by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage, directing it to a new SingleSafe™ sump pump. The crew finished the job by burying the discharge line in the lawn away from the home. This family can now rest easy knowing their basement has the utmost protection in waterproofing technology.

Measuring the New Discharge Line Placement

Our team measures to accurately place the sump pump discharge line, so that it efficiently carries water up and away from the home's foundation.

Discharge Line Fitted with LawnScape™ Outlet

The discharge line was finished with our LawnScape™ outlet and is meant to evenly disperse water away from the home. In the background is also our IceGuard® outlet that will effectively disperse water in the case of a wintertime freeze-up further down the discharge line.

WaterGuard® Designed to Collect Water During Heavy Rainfall

Designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall and floor joint, this drain system effectively captures wall and floor seepage before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.

WaterGuard® Around Perimeter of the Basement

Our team finished the install by sealing in the drain system with new concrete.

WaterGuard® Install Complete

Because water was seeping through the floor due to hydrostatic pressure, our team also installed a section of drain through the middle portion of the basement floor.
