Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Two Harbors, MN was experiencing water leakage within the basement of their home. The only defense against this was an od sump pump installed in the pit, but it was not enough to hold back the unwanted water. After reaching out to DBS, a Design SPecialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing improvement. It was decided that the basement would need anew sump pump, as wel as CleanSpace® and WaterGuard® installed to provide maximum efficiency. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now be more comfortable with their improved basement system. 

These homeowners in Two Harbors, MN reached out to DBS for information on crawlspace waterproofing after meeting us at the Duluth Home Show. Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate which resulted in a plan of action for waterproofing and odor reduction for the home.

DBS Foreman Jason Foster and his crew cleaned and prepped the space before installing CleanSpace® waterproofing material in the crawlspace.

The house now has a safe, dry and clean crawlspace free from unwanted musty odors. 

A homeowner in Two Harbors, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. Crawl spaces with exposed earth are prone to fluctuating humidity, creating moisture and mold issues. This was concerning for the owner, as it can cause damage to the home and foundation as well as raise health issues. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation service. It was determined that the crawl space would need to have CleanSpace® installed to act as a vapor barrier for the area. The DBS Foreman and crew laid the vapor barrier throughout the space to prevent any further moisture issues.

A homeowner contacted DBS after experiencing some frozen pipes in their crawlspace. The house was also very drafty due to the cold air entering the crawlspace. The homeowner wanted to clean up and insulate the crawlspace to resolve the cold air issue. Our Design Specialist, Mike Ward, inspected the crawlspace and recommended using our spray foam insulation and installing our CleanSpace® Wall product to regulate the moisture that accumulates on the wall and goes directly to the sump pump.

Our Crew went to the property and installed our products, providing the homeowner with a comfortable, safe, and healthy crawlspace!
