Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement in Duluth, MN Restored with Waterproofing System
This Duluth, MN homeowner was tired of issues caused by water intrustion in the basement. After periods of rainy and wet weather, the basement had to be routintely mopped up. Looking for a permanent solution, the homeowner called DBS.
Our Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing work. It was determined that a new drainage system was needed to protect the home after heavy rains. Because the home's existing sump pump was in good working order, the new drain infrastructure would connect to the current sump pump.DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby 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 the basement sump pump. The crew finished the job by burying the discharge line in the lawn away from the home.
This homeowner no longer has to worry about basement flooding, and can count on a dry basement going forward.
