Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Systems Restores Wet Basement in Grand Rapids, MN

This 1950's family home in Grand Rapids, MN was having water issues in the basement. After learning about our work on local television, the owners contacted DBS in search of a permanent solution. DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen is our expert in basement waterproofing and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. After thoroughly inspecting the leaky basement, Rich designed a custom plan for a basement waterproofing system including a vapor barrier, sump pump, and drain tile. DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew installed our basement waterproofing products. First, they dug a trench around the perimeter of the basement and carried out the concrete. From there, they installed our WaterGuard® drainage system and surrounded it with gravel to encourage proper drainage. Once the drain system install was complete, they connected it to a TripleSafe™ sump pump and covered the drain with new concrete. This homeowner now has a proven system for keeping water out of the basement.
