Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Duluth, MN wanted to keep their basement dry as they want to use that space and create a lower living room, and didn't want to put money into refinishing the basement if water was going to remain an issue. They wanted a reliable solution, so they reached out to DBS for help. 

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation. After inspecting the home and the issues, Rich recommended our WaterGuard® Drain System, TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and provided the owner with a quote.

Foreman Glen Olcott led the installation of this project with help from a team. The team placed the drain lines within trenches along the perimeter of the basement walls. These drains collect the water and transport it to the sump pump where it is removed from the home. CleanSpace® was then applied to the walls for a clean finish and to help guide the water intrusion to the drain lines. The drains then direct all the water to the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump.

The owner of this home in Duluth, MN reached out to us looking for help with their wet basement.

One of our crews first installed our french drain system in the basement to help with the water issues. They also installed our CarbonArmor® wall straps to help permanently stabilize the foundation.

An Hermantown, MN homeowner was sick of anticipating water and mold in their basement each year, so she contacted DBS to find a permanent solution! One of our design specialists visited the house to provide a free, no-obligation, estimate. They ultimately concluded that adding a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a CleanSpace wall poly system was the best course of action.

One of our foremen led his group in this installation. The team started by removing concrete spots from the house's interior perimeter. Then, to permanently address flooding, they installed our sub-floor drainage system. After that, the team installed our CleanSpace wall barrier to keep water vapor from entering through the foundation walls. This led to the homeowner feeling confident their basement will be dry moving forward!

This homeowner contacted DBS after noticing issues with their trailer's foundation and desired to level it without removing the current support. Despite a tight entry, the team installed three smart jacks near the exterior door and the start of their bedroom. The jacks were spaced out towards the shed, and frost protection was added to the clips poured a week earlier. The team used 6”x6” base plates and performed three lift procedures, achieving the desired elevation. Additionally, they shimmed up existing supports and sprayed 36 linear feet of spray foam to address any gaps created during the lift. The customer was happy with the work and felt more comfortable with her stable home!
