Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Plymouth, MN reached out to DBS for help keeping their basement dry. Their existing sump pump was not functioning properly, causing it to run constanly, and emit a musty odor into the air.

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Rich recommended installing a new discharge line to carry water to the exterior of the home, as well as a new UltraSump™ sump pump. The UltraSump™ 4 removes up to 12,000 gallons of water on a single charge, keeping your home dry and protected until you're able to get your primary pump running again.

We also installed our SaniDry™ XP dehumidifcation system that filters musty basement air, and directs the moisture to the new sump pump. These systems work together to collect and remove water in leaky basements. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby, and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

After receiving a referral from another contractor, this homeowner reached out about the water issues in the basement of their 1940's home. 

Waterproofing Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home for a free, no-obligation estimate for our waterproofing service. He determined that a french drain system with sump pump was needed to keep this basement dry. A DBS Foreman and crew installed this system including our WaterGuard® system, 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 the home's sump pump.

DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew then performed the foundation support work. They installed a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, attaching steel I-beams to the concrete floor and the basement rim joists. This PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightened over time, in order to restore the walls to their original position. The PowerBrace™ beams are zinc-plated and backed with a 75-year warranty against movement.
