Before & After Photos

In the heart of Aurora, MN, nestled a family home plagued with a pesky problem — their spacious, 8-foot tall basement, perfect for storage and prime for finishing, was under siege by leaks every time it rained, thanks to its ICF poured walls. As you can see in the before photo, the challenge was clear, but fear not, for DBS had the perfect duo for an undeniable transformation. With the installation of our WaterGuard® drainage system, IceGuard® to battle blockages from ice and snow, and the robust DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, we turned their once downtrodden space into the dry, reliable retreat shown in the after photo. Our commitment ensured this cozy basement remained extensively waterproofed and worry-free, providing our homeowners with the peace of mind they deserved.
