Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Duluth, MN live on Park Point, a narrow strip of land that has Lake Superior on one side and the St. Louis Bay on the other. But being surrounded by water comes with its challenges. Concerned over water consistenly leaking in the basement, these homeowners knew they needed more protection for their home. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen is our expert in waterproofing and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. He proposed our WaterGuard® IOS system that is specifically designed to deal with iron ochre, a living bacteria that is common in Park Point ground water and is known for severely clogging drain systems. 

A DBS foreman and crew installed a full WaterGuard® system, that sits flush with the floor and is completely hidden, directing all water to the home's existing sump pump and a new exterior drainage line. This was combined with CleanSpace® wall poly that will ensure that if moisture collects on the foundation wall, that it will be directed to the drain system and further to a new SuperSump® sump pump.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
