Before & After Photos

These renters in this Lutsen, MN home were having problems with water intrusion. They had to continually patch, fix, and paint the walls. Finally, they said enough is enough and had DBS help them with this project.

Design Specialist, Zach Guilliams, assisted the residents with a free, no-obligation estimate for the home. After careful inspection, the Design Specialist recommended the installation of a WaterGuard® System.

Foreman Dustin Behning, along with a team, led the installation of this project. Together, the team installed the French drainage system in the floor. This drain collects water seepage from the walls and floor joists before it enters the home. It is then transported to a sump pump and discarded outside of the house. The drain is then covered with concrete, creating a flush look. 

These residents will no longer have to worry about painting and patching. Once the concrete is dry, the drain system will be on the job. 

These Silver Bay homeowners connected with DBS after being referred by a friend. They had been having water issues in their basement from their old sump pump and needed one that would keep the basement dry. Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman Zach Royer and his production team replaced the existing broken sump pump with our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump to keep water out of the basement for good. This home now has a clean, safe and dry basement to enjoy. 

These homeowners in Silver Bay reached out to DBS for help keeping their basement dry. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Rich recommended installing our WaterGuard® french drainage system and two IceGuard® attachments to protect the system during the Northlands harsh winter months. 

This home was repaired by DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey and his production crew.

Homeowners in Silver Bay, MN wanted to gain some extra space in their home by upgrading their basement. It had some issues with water leaking and cold drafts in the wintertime, so the family contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for their home repair.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo is an expert in diagnosing foundation and water issues in local homes. After a thorough inspection, he proposed an interior waterproofing system with a French drain and vapor barrier. Furthermore, he recommended insulating the rim joists to keep cold outside air from entering the basement.

Our crews first completed the waterproofing project, installing over 100 feet of WaterGuard® along the basement perimeter walls. The drain system is designed to catch any moisture from the foundation's footing and will carry it to the new TripleSafe™ sump pump. From there, our team installed closed-cell spray foam to properly insulate the rim joists, and new EverLast™ windows for an energy-efficient alternative to natural light in the basement.

This homeowner in Silver Bay, MN needed to address the problems their sump pump was facing. They wanted a permanent solution, so they reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate. After the inspection, Henrik recommended our TripleSafe™ sump pump.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is dry and healthy.
