Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This home in Duluth, MN was suffering from water intrusion coming from the basement walls. The owner wanted to find the perfect solution, so they reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to run a free, no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Henrik recommended our WaterGuard® Drain System and provided the owner with a quote. 

Foreman Glen Olcott and his crew went out to install our products. First, they installed our WaterGuard® french drain system around the perimeter of the basement to help collect water and transfer it to the sump pump. Then they installed a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier on the walls. The CleanSpace® will help collect runoff from the walls.

With our solutions installed, the homeowner will notice their basement is much drier during wet periods and can relax with peace of mind!
