Before & After Photos

The homeowner of this residence in Grand Rapids, MN noticed their basement had issues with water coming in. In hopes of figuring out a solution to their wet basement issue, the owner reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, Henrik advised the homeowner that DBS would be able to solve the issue by installing a waterproofing solution called WaterGuard® which is designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall and floor joint and guide the water through a drainage pipe directly to your sump pump.

Foreman Jordan Jeseritz led his crew in the installation of this waterproofing project. Together they successfully installed the WaterGuard® drain system and an additional sump pump called SmartSump™ that is exclusive to DBS. The addition of the SmartSump™ will assist the old sump pump in draining water from the basement.

The home has been waterproofed and the leaky basement will have no issues keeping dry. Now the homeowner can finally relax comfortably knowing that their basement is promoting a healthy environment for their home.

A Grand Rapids, 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, leaving the customer satisfied!

They wanted to ensure that their basement was going to be completely dry once their finishing project was complete.

Once the homeowners did a final walkthrough, they expressed how happy they were with the results and that they truly felt the "WOW" experience DBS strives to do daily.
