Before & After Photos

Before, this Duluth, MN basement was a damp and dreary space, frustrating homeowners who dreamed of a dry, finish-ready area. Notice in the before photo the evident moisture issues. Recognizing the need for a dependable solution, DBS stepped in with our innovative WaterGuard® and CleanSpace® products, alongside the robust UltraSump™ System, clearly showcased in the after photo. Now, as you can see, the basement stands transformed—dry, inviting, and prepped for whatever the future holds. This is what we strive for at DBS: turning home issues into foundations for dreams.

From wet to dry, our recent project in Duluth, MN exemplifies the transformative work we're renowned for. Initially, the homeowner encountered a common challenge—a damp basement that made it unsuitable for renting. Visible in the 'before' photo were clear signs of moisture and cracks.

Our solution? We implemented a combination of PowerBrace™ to permanently stabilize the basement walls, WaterGuard® for discreet yet highly effective drainage, CleanSpace® for sealing and protection, and completed with a DoubleSafe™ pump system to ensure continuous water management. The 'after' photo tells the story—a dry, rent-ready basement.

Through strategic installations, we converted a problematic basement into a valuable living space, demonstrating our commitment to providing exceptional customer experiences alongside enduring solutions.

Before, our Duluth, MN homeowner faced a daunting crawl space issue, disrupting their peace of mind with water intrusion and structural concerns. Notice in the 'before' photo the evident distress. We stepped in, bringing our expertise and CleanSpace© technology to the forefront. As you can see in the 'after' photo, we transformed the space into a dry, stable area, restoring not only the structure but also our homeowner's peace of mind. It’s more than repair; it’s bringing confidence back into their home.

In Duluth, MN, we took on a special project, transforming a basement in an historic building—from its previous life as a school (1892-1982) to a secure, watertight foundation for new apartments. Initially, the basement mirrored its age, showing signs of wear and posing structural concerns. But as you can see in the after photo, our comprehensive solution revitalized it. Our crew installed WaterGuard® and IceGuard® for unparalleled waterproofing, the SaniDry™ Sedona for dehumidification, and a SingleSafe™ Sump Pump system ensuring the space remains dry and healthy for years to come. We wrapped the interior foundation walls in our CleanSpace® liner, dramatically improving the basement's appearance and sealing out moisture. This project not only safeguarded the building's structural integrity but also restored its potential for creative, functional spaces—showcasing our dedication to delivering reliable and lasting solutions while enhancing our customers' living environments.

We understand the frustration of dealing with a wet basement, and this Duluth homeowner knows that all too well. Water intrusion had turned everyday life into an ongoing struggle. But that’s where we came in! As shown in the "before" photo, the issue was clear and concerning. However, the "after" photo reveals the remarkable transformation. With our advanced waterproofing solution, including products like WaterGuard®, DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, and CleanSpace® , we effectively protected the basement from future water damage. The result? Peace of mind restored. Every home deserves to be safe, dry, and comfortable, and we’re proud to help make that a reality.
