Before & After Photos

An Hermantown, 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. This led to the homeowner feeling confident their basement will be dry moving forward!

This homeowner contacted DBS after noticing issues with their trailer's foundation and desired to level it without removing the current support. Despite a tight entry, the team installed three smart jacks near the exterior door and the start of their bedroom. The jacks were spaced out towards the shed, and frost protection was added to the clips poured a week earlier. The team used 6”x6” base plates and performed three lift procedures, achieving the desired elevation. Additionally, they shimmed up existing supports and sprayed 36 linear feet of spray foam to address any gaps created during the lift. The customer was happy with the work and felt more comfortable with her stable home!

When the homeowners in Duluth, MN, realized their forever home came with a perpetually damp basement—which escalated to flooding after a storm—they turned to us at DBS. Notice in the photo how the water damage and dampness created a less than ideal space. But not anymore! Our solution, including the installation of WaterGuard® and SingleSafe™systems, transformed their basement into a dry, livable area. Now, their basement is ready for Minnesota’s surprises, providing a safe and comfortable space year-round.

In Duluth, MN a homeowner faced a recurring nightmare: water seeping into their basement, especially near an under-stair hatch door leading to an older addition with an aging sump system and a makeshift waterproofing attempt. As you can see in the before photo, the challenge was real. But with DBS on the job, transformation was inevitable. We replaced the outdated sump with a reliable SingleSafe™, and installed WaterGuard® around the perimeter, ensuring a dry and worry-free space. Notice in the after photo the precision installation and the promise of lasting dryness, marking another successful mission toward a remarkable homeowner experience and a solid, lasting solution.
