Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Herbster, WI had been dealing with a wet basement since they moved in 20 years ago. They noticed the problem getting significantly worse, making it unsuitable for storage and laundry spaces. After learning about our waterproofing service on local tv, they decided they were ready for a permanent solution with DBS.

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Rich saw signs of water immediately when he entered the basement. After thoroughly inspecting the interior and exterior of the property, Rich presented a solution that would solve the basement's water issues.

DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the project foremen on the job. He and his crew applied CleanSpace® wall poly to collect moistue and direct it to a brand new WaterGuard® french drainage system. This system sits flush with the floor and is completely hidden and new flooring will be installed over it. 

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!

Before encountering us, a Minneapolis homeowner faced the distress of a frozen pipe in their crawl space despite a makeshift insulation effort with bags. As visible in the before photo, the area was poorly insulated, posing a risk for repeat problems. Our team stepped in and transformed this space as seen in the after photo. By installing CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SprayFoam insulation, and TerraBlock, we've secured a warmer, properly insulated area, safeguarding against future freeze risks – aligning perfectly with our mission to provide durable solutions and an exceptional customer experience.

We recently transformed a damp and critter-infested crawl space in Minneapolis, MN, into a dry, usable storage area. The homeowner was struggling with moisture and musty odors and needed a long-term solution to reclaim the space. Our team provided the perfect fix by installing a CleanSpace® liner and spray foam insulation, as seen in the after photo. This effective upgrade not only eliminated the moisture and pests but also restored the homeowner’s peace of mind. The result? A revitalized, dry crawl space that’s now ideal for storage. Another home improved with care and expertise, making it healthier and more functional.

In the heart of Minneapolis, a homeowner envisioned transforming their basement into a creative oasis, complete with a crafts room, bathroom, and chill spot, while also finishing their attic. However, the challenge was relocating their storage to a dry, safe basement. As seen in the 'before' photo, their under-utilized basement suffered from moisture issues, blocking their vision. We intervened with our expertise and a suite of solutions: WaterGuard® for non-intrusive perimeter water channeling, DoubleSafe™ for effective water pumping, IceGuard® to prevent backups in freezing conditions, and CleanSpace® liner for sealing and protection. The 'after' photo proudly displays a fully waterproofed basement, ready for transformation and instilling confidence in the homeowner's plans. With our intervention, this space now promises durability and peace of mind for their ambitious attic and basement projects.
