Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Carlton, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their damp basement. 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 and provide the homeowner with peace of mind!

In Carlton, MN, this homeowner was experiencing water leakage in their basement. To avoid further water damage, and the hassle of cleaning up, they turned to DBS to help find the best solution for their home. 

Design Specialist Jacob Nustad assisted this homeowner in a free no-obligation estimate. After close inspection, it was decided that a WaterGuard® drainage system would be the most effective solution for this problem. 

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project with help from a partner. Together, the pair installed a WaterGuard® french drain system. This waterproofing system is installed by placing a drain system under the concrete; this drain collects water seepage from the walls and floor joists and moves it to a sump pump in order to get rid of the unwanted water intrusion quickly and effectively.

This homeowner will not have to worry about flooding in their basement and can now relax in their healthy home. 

These Duluth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS when their basement walls began to crack and bow.

Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. DBS Foreman and their production crew installed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to immediately stabilize the bowing walls. Over time the PowerBrace® System is tightened by our service team to restore the wall to level.

This basement is now permanently stabilized and safe for the family to enjoy!
