Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help repairing their basement. When DBS arrived the home was leaky with cracked and bowing foundation walls. 

DBS Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Henrik recommended a complete waterproofing system and a stabilization system. Waterproofing the home required installing a WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system, CleanSpace® waterproofing vapor barrier, and a TripleSafe™ sump pump. This interior waterproofing system will keep the basement dry for good! Stabilization was achieved by installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams. PowerBrace™ support beams are installed with a 75-year nationally-backed fully-transferable warranty. 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his production crew.

This home has been made healthy, safe, and comfortable with DBS! 

A homeowner from Duluth, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their damp basement. One of our Design Specialists, Rich Johnsen, went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. After a thorough inspection, Rich provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Basement Waterproofing System. One of our crews led by a Foreman installed our WaterGuard® system and a new sump pump in the basement. They also installed CleanSpace® water vapor barrier in the basement to thoroughly waterproof the space.

The owners of this rental property were concerned about large lateral cracks running through the walls in their basement. Cracks were becoming so deep that water damage was an imminent threat. Bowing of the walls had also occurred, and it was apparent to them that it needed to be fixed. In hopes of saving their rental property, they reached out to DBS to find a solution.

Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, went out to the site of the problem to conduct a free no-obligation inspection. After thoroughly examining the issue at hand, Henrik determined that this property was an ideal candidate for DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System. A concern that was raised in this project was how close the neighboring homes are, which is why the PowerBrace™ system was a great solution for this property because it does not require any exterior excavation in order to be installed.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with his team, and together they successfully installed 6 PowerBrace™ beams to correct bowing and cracking that had occurred over time. Our patented PowerBrace™ solution's unique design allows for it to be tightened over time during dry periods in an attempt to straighten the wall.

The owners of this property have peace of mind knowing that their tenants will be living in a comfortable, safe, sturdy environment and that no additional cracks or bowing will occur in the future.

The WaterGuard® drain lines are placed within and lead to a sump pump. These drains are able to collect water intrusion from the floor and walls of the home. It then travels to the sump pump where it is removed from the home.
