When a homeowner in Hibbing, MN noticed their basement flooding each spring, they knew they needed a prompt solution to safeguard their home. Having previously worked with us at DBS, they reached out for a reliable answer to complete the waterproofing of their basement efficiently and permanently. Their objective was straightforward: keep the area dry and functional, eliminating the annual concern of water damage.

To address this issue, we implemented our tried-and-true solution: WaterGuard and CleanSpace. Our Customer Care team quickly arranged a home inspection to assess the full extent of the problem.
