Basement Waterproofing System Installed in Cotton, MN

A homeowner in Cotton, MN was experiencing wet spots on the floor of their lake home's basement. The area had an older sump pump already in place, but there were still issues with water arising. In need of a solution to the problem, they reached out to DBS and had Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visit the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the basement. The entire area was thoroughly inspected to diagnose the water intrusion, and it was determined that the basement would need to have a full perimeter system put in place in order to solve the problem. 

Our crew went to the home and installed the WaterGuard® system as well as a TripleSafe™ sump pump. WaterGuard® is a warrantied french drain system that is installed below the existing floor slab. The drain catches any water that seeps through the ground or walls around the perimeter before it can make its way to the inner basement area. This is then led to the TripleSafe™ sump pump, which holds 3 separates water pumps for maximum efficiency. The TripleSafe™ discharges the water through an exterior line to a specific location outdoors. This system is ideal for preventing future water issues from occurring in any basement. 

The photo attached shows the WaterGuard® system sitting below a fresh new layer of concrete.
