Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Anoka, MN wanted to expand the living space in their basement. However, they first needed to find a way to keep water out of their basement. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, they recommended our WaterGuard® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed the WaterGuard® System by jackhammering trenches around the perimeter of the basement and placing the WaterGuard® tubing into each trench. They smoothed over the area with concrete for a flush finish. The drains will help direct water into a sump pump that is able to expel water up and away from the foundation.

Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can finish the basement to create more living space without worrying about water damage to the space.

A homeowner from Milaca, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their damp basement. Since they had just newly finished their basement, they wanted to insure they had a long term solution to the water leaking in and make sure their wall was secure. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment.

After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate for our Basement Waterproofing System. One of our crews installed a new sump pump and our WaterGuard® french drain system to thoroughly waterproof the space. Supports were also added to secure the wall from caving in, which provided the homeowner with peace of mind!

Before diving into this project in Inver Grove Heights, MN, it was clear that transforming a damp basement into a cozy, private space for both work and relaxation at a local nursing home would be a challenging task. As shown in the before photo, moisture was a major issue, leaving the area far from a retreat.

That’s when our team stepped in, equipped with WaterGuard®, CleanSpace®, and the SaniDry™ Sedona system to seal, protect, and dehumidify the space. The result, visible in the after photo, was nothing short of a transformation—a warm, inviting, and, most importantly, dry environment.

This incredible turnaround didn’t just solve the water problems; it also provided a lasting, comfortable solution for a cherished community space.
