Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN had been standing for 100 years when homeowners bought it in 2012. They started noticing water coming in through cracks in the north wall of the basement, leading to damage to the walls and floor. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS after learning about us on local radio. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the work in the basement. It was determined that a WaterGuard® drainage system would be dug around the perimeter of the basement, accompanied by the CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the wall. 

DBS Field Supervisor Kevin Steffey was the foreman on the job, leading the production crew's installation of the mentioned products. The waterproofing system was completed with two sump pumps, SuperSump® Premier Pump System and an UltraSump®. Those pumps were connected to discharge lines, connected to IceGuard® drains to prevent wintertime freezing. 

This property manager in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help keeping the basement dry in a home they own. They wanted to ensure that their residents had a safe and comfortable basement for storage and laundry. 

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for the project and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. A DBS foreman and crew installed a WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system that would lead any water into a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System. This SuperSump® pump has a Zoeller cast-iron pump that is powerful and can pump up to 2,280 gallons per hour.

A DBS foreman and crew installed 29 linear feet of WaterGuard® and a new electrical outlet to power the sump pump. This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

A Duluth homeowner had a vision of turning a damp, unusable basement into a cozy bedroom, but moisture had other plans. To overcome this challenge, we brought in a powerful combination: CleanSpace® and WaterGuard® to control stubborn moisture, while the UltraSump™ and TripleSafe™ Sump Pump systems worked tirelessly to prevent future water issues. The result? A stunning transformation. As seen in the before-and-after images, the basement is now dry, comfortable, and ready to create lasting memories in its new, welcoming form.

Tucked away in Hermantown, MN, this homeowner faced a common yet often overlooked problem - an unsealed crawlspace that left their home vulnerable to moisture, pests, and energy loss. As depicted in the 'before' photo, the dreary space looked less than inviting. That's where we stepped in. Our solution? The CleanSpace© System. Notice in the 'after' photo, the transformation is evident. The crawlspace is now fully encapsulated, providing a clean, dry, and energy-efficient area underneath the home. Through our trusted method, we ensure homes like this one remain secure and comfortable, aligning with our mission to offer both a remarkable customer experience and a lasting solution.

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help with their unfinished basement crawl space. The crawlspace was having issues with water and the dirt floors made it impossible for storage. A DBS Design Specialist provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work and determined that Spray Foam and CleanSpace® coverings would allow the space to be insulated, dry, clean and useable for storage. A DBS Foreman and their production team installed the wall foam and floor coverings successfully. These homeowners now enjoy a warmer, dry and secure crawl space.
