Before & After Photos

The finished basement in this Roseville, MN home was damaged after water instrusion. The homeowner removed several portions of the basement walls as well as pulled back the water-soaked carpeting. In order to learn more about our waterproofing services, they contacted us to schedule an estimate.

DBS Sales Manager Denny Meints visited the home, performed a thorough inspection, and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing project. Denny determined that drain tile would be installed as well as a new sump pump to protect the basement against water intrusion. After that, our crews would also provide wall restoration to fix the damaged basement walls. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his crew worked on the interior waterproofing job. The crew began by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage, directing it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump with battery back-up.

DBS Carpenter Paul Villella completed the project with wall restoration. He patched the lower portion of the wall and replaced the floor trim.

This homeowner now a dry basement they can rely on!

This home in Duluth, MN was built in 1881. Naturally, its foundation has begun to crack and bow from the soil pressure. The homeowners were tired of cleaning up water from the leaking foundation. After seeing our advertisements on local tv, they contacted us to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate with one of our foundation repair specialists.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a inspection and estimate for the work. After visiting the home, Henrik recommended installing a waterproofing and foundation repair system to fully protect the home.

Because this home had multiple home repair needs, it was broken up into 3 projects. Our highly-trained installers from each area visited the home to complete the repair in their area expertise. 

DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his crew installed the waterproofing system consisting of a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to stop water and a WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system to drain water out of the home for good.

DBS Foreman Nick Burley and crew installed 4 PowerBrace™ wall support beams to stabilize the walls and prevent any further movement.

To complete the job and help insulate the basement, Foreman Orrin Sundberg led a team to spray foam the rim joists. This will prevent cold air from entering the basement and warm air from escaping via the rim joists.

The homeowners can now rest easy knowing their home is healthy, safe, and comfortable!
