Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Blaine, MN noticed that her belongings in their basement were getting ruined during rainy seasons. They wanted a safe and dry basement to be able to finish part of the space eventually. In hopes of finding a solution, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to their home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist provided a solution to their issue, a french drain system. The Design Specialist came up with a design proposal on the spot so that the homeowner was able to get an idea of how much the installation of the system would cost.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed a WaterGuard®french drain system around the perimeter of the basement interior by jackhammering trenches, placing the drains inside, and finishing off the project with concrete for a flush finish with the floor. The crew also installed a CleanSpace® water vapor barrier on the walls to help direct leaks behind the material down into the drains.

Now that the home has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can relax more comfortably knowing that their belongings will be free of further water damage.
