Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Flooding Basement in Saint Croix Falls Repaired with Drain and Wall Systems

Owners of this Saint Croix Falls, WI home had issues with water seeping up through various points in their basement - the foundation footing, the window, and small cracks in the foundation wall. As evidenced in the before photo, this basement has sustained water damage from prolonged water exposure. Tired of cleaning up their flooded basement after heavy rains, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution. DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing system. A DBS Foreman and crew installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, that will direct all moisture to a new SingleSafe™ Sump Pump. The crew also installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the walls that were extra prone to water leakage. DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his production team installed all of our basement repair products to give this home solid protection for years to come.

Water Intrusion in Saint Croix Falls, WI Basement

Here is evidence of water seeping up through the foundation footing. This is a common side effect of hydrostatic pressure, where water vapor from the soil makes its way up to through the concrete and manifests as water.

Water Damage Seen on Foundation Blocks

Water was seeping up from the foundation footing, as seen by the water stains in this photo.

Chipping and Cracking Paint

Before our team begin, we took time to scrape and clean the flaking walls, and did some mold mitigation with our botanical Mold-X2™ solution.

Water Leaking Through Basement Wall in Saint Croix Falls, WI

This wall was particularly prone to water leaking. The homeowners grew tired of constantly cleaning up the mess after their basement would flood. Wanting to protect their basement appliances and utilities, they knew they needed a permanent solution.

WaterGuard® Drain Installed for Hydrostatic Pressure

WaterGuard® will capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall and floor joint, before it reaches your basement floor. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to your sump pump.

WaterGuard® and CleanSpace® Complete

These two products work together beautifully - leaks and water vapor from the wall are lead down into the drain system below, which reaches the home's sump pump.

New Sump Pump Installed

Any basement that reaches the basement will travel through the WaterGuard® drain tile into this sump pump. Our crew also installed a discharge line that will disperse water a safe distance from the home's foundation.
