Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Cracked And Leaking Duluth, MN Basement Repaired By DBS Repair Using Supportworks® Stabilization System

These homeowners from Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help keeping their cracked and leaky basement dry. Over time cracks on the wall were becoming more intense and water was seeping into the lower level, causing water damage and musty odors throughout the home. DBS Design Specialist Jason Brummer went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Jason recommended installing CleanSpace® waterproofing vapor barrier along all walls in the basement. This was paired with our subfloor WaterGuard® french drainage system and a new TripleSafe™ sump pump to direct any water out of this home! Cracked and bowing walls were repaired by installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams and GeoLock™ earth anchors. The combination of stabilization systems was custom planned for this home. What works on your neighbors home might not be the same solution for your house. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew. This unique solution made this home healthy, safe, and comfortable all year round!
