Before & After Photos

A client called DBS looking to waterproof their basement and replace some cabinets and shelving in the basement area surrounding the old waterproofing system. DBS uses a WaterGuard® system to waterproof homes efficiently, that also looks nice. We worked on the basement to replace the outdated system and install our new, long-lasting WaterGuard® waterproofing system to make sure that our clients basement is safe and dry, making sure that no moisture creates mildew smell or mold present. We sent our Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, to the house to successfully waterproof the home for our clients!

These homeowners in Eleveth, MN reached out to DBS when their existing sump pump was starting to fail and unwanted water was staying in their basement. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate and created a plan of action to repair the damage. Our WaterGuard® drain system was installed along the perimeter of the basement and the old sump pump was replaced with our UltraSump® Pump. Water now flows through the drains directly to our UltraSump® and the basement is permanently kept dry during all four seasons!

These Eveleth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS when their basement walls began to crack and bow.

A DBS Foreman and their production crew installed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to immediately stabilize the bowing walls. Over time the PowerBraces™ are tightened by our service team to restore the wall to level.
This basement is now permanently stabilized and safe for the family to enjoy.

These Eveleth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS for help with basement waterproofing and wall stabilization after meeting us at the Iron Range Home Show. 

Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo visited the home, assessed the problem, and created a solution for the unwanted water and failing walls. WaterGuard® and our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump were recommended to make sure the basement stays dry all year long. To permanently stabilize the walls our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was installed along the perimeter of the basement. Foreman Casey Healey and his crew successfully installed the products.

The homeowners now enjoy a safe, stable and dry basement!

This recently purchased cabin in Eveleth, MN was in need of some structural support. Its dirt crawl space was causing moisture issues as well a musty smell in the main living space. Because the cabin is not used year-round, they wanted to protect it as much as possible against moisture and fluctuating weather even when they aren't there. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew installed 8 SmartJack support beams to level the cabin. A CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting to properly seal the dirt crawl space floor. Our ultra-dense TerraBlock™ foam insulation, as well as closed-cell spray foam, were applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. These products work together to keep, cold air, moisture, and pests at bay.

These cabin owners no longer have to worry about uneven floors and structural issues. They were also given a solid solution to protect their cabin against wetness and moisture.
