Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Poplar, WI Basement Water Issues Fixed with DBS Waterproofing

This 1980's family home in Poplar, WI was having water issues in their finished basement. After learning about our work on local radio, 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 our WaterGuard® french drain system and a new sump pump.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 SingleSafe™ sump pump and covered the drain with new concrete. This homeowner now has a proven system for keeping water out of the basement.

Efflorescence is a Sign of Water Exposure

This white residue seen on the concrete floor in this photo is known as efflorescence. It is the substance that is left after water evaporates. High presence of efflorescence indicates lots of water has found its way to the basement.

WaterGuard® Perimeter Drain Tile

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® Drain Connects to Sump Pump

Our French drain tile system collects water and delivers it to the basement sump pump. Where it is directed up and out of your home via the discharge line.
