Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Intrusion and Damage in Anoka, MN Fixed with WaterGuard® Drain System

This homeowner in Anoka, MN was hoping to expand their basement in order to create a new living space. However, they first needed to address the water intrusion issues they were facing. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS. A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, they were able to provide a quote and recommended our WaterGuard® French Drain System. A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together, they installed the WaterGuard® System by jackhammering trenches around the perimeter of the basement and placing the WaterGuard® tubing into each trench. They smoothed over the area with concrete for a flush finish. The drains will help direct water into a sump pump that is able to expel water up and away from the foundation. Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can finish the basement to create more living space without worrying about water damaging the space.
