Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Hibbing, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their wet, unsupported basement foundation. 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 quote for our Basement Repair Systems. One of our crews installed our EverBrace® Wall Bracing System to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

A homeowner contacted DBS with a desire to resolve mold and water issues in their basement since they plan to stay in their home for the long term. The project was carried out by replacing the old sump pump with the TripleSafe® Sump Pump, installing WaterGuard along the walls to ensure that water flows directly to the sump pump, and lining the walls with CleanSpace® wall protectant to prevent mold growth in the future.

Homeowners at this residence in Hibbing, MN noticed that water was making its way into their basement and collecting in pools. One of the residents has allergies to mold, and it was frustrating having to manually flush out the excess water in order to protect their living space. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding an effective solution.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to visit the site to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, he noted that failing foundation walls contributed to the water damage issue. Henrik advised the homeowners that DBS offers solutions to fix the waterproofing and foundation issues.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation on this project with his crew. They installed DBS's WaterGuard® draining system to divert the flow of water to a TripleSafe™ triple safe sump pump that pushes the water out and away from the foundation. In addition to the new drainage system, the basement walls were covered in CleanSpace®, a waterproofing poly material to cover leaky walls and direct water into WaterGuard® drains. To correct the foundational issues, they installed DBS's GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the failing walls.

Now that both sets of projects have been successfully installed, the homeowners can relax comfortably in their home knowing that it has been properly waterproofed and permanently stabilized.

The homeowner of this home purchased the property a few years ago and unfortunately, the basement began leaking in the area that had been finished. Frustrated with stains that had appeared in the basement carpeting from water damage, they reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. Upon completion of a thorough inspection, he noted to the owners that extensive water damage had been done, but DBS had solutions that could effectively waterproof their basement.

Carpenter Brandon Wollin installed the project with his team and together they installed a WaterGuard® drainage system to help divert to the TripleSafe™ sump pump they also had installed. In addition to the new draining system and sump pump, they also installed CleanSpace®, a waterproof poly material that is applied over walls. CleanSpace® will assist in directing water behind the material down into WaterGuard® drains, and the drains will carry water to the TripleSafe™ sump pump to be expelled out and away from the home through an exterior discharge line.

After completing the project, the home has been effectively waterproofed, and the homeowner can now relax comfortably in their home knowing that their home is safe and dry.

The homeowner of this Hibbing, MN residence had consulted with DBS at the Hibbing Home Show about his leaky basement. Over time, their basement had gotten worse with water damage, and they reached out to DBS to set up an inspection.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. Henrik made notes of water damage in the basement including chipping paint, efflorescence (a white chalky powder that forms when water evaporates), and mold growth. He addressed the owner's concerns and advised them that DBS's waterproofing solutions would provide an effective solution.

A DBS Foreman led the installation for this project. With the help of their crew, they installed WaterGuard® Drain System that would help to direct water to a TripleSafe™ sump pump that would push water out and away from the home. The crew also installed CleanSpace®, a poly material that is applied over walls to guide water behind the fabric down into WaterGuard® drains. Installation of this project was successful and the home has been effectively waterproofed.

The homeowner can now have peace of mind and relax comfortably knowing that their basement will stay drier and promote a healthier and safer environment.
