Before & After Photos

This home in Maple, WI had water issues in the basement. Knowing they needed more protection from water intrusion, they connected with DBS to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate.

Rich Johnsen is an expert in basement waterproofing and gave a thorough inspection of the basement. After designing a plan to keep water at bay, our basement waterproofing crew installed a system that would protect the home from water leaking in the basement. 

DBS Foreman Trevor Ingle and his crew began the waterproofing job by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage. Water collected in the drain is directed to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump with battery backup.

The crew finished the job by installing IceGuard® on the discharge lines to better protect the sump pump system against freezing conditions. 

Homeowners in Duluth, MN finished their basement with traditional materials; drywall, wood paneling, and carpeting. Occasionally, the basement would collect water so after learning about DBS and our water and mold-resistant basement finishing products, they reached out to us to schedule an estimate for the work. 

Our Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for this basement finishing project. After a close inspection and thorough consultation with the homeowner, Henrik created a custom design to update the bedrooms, living space, laundry, and closets.

The DBS team of expert carpenters installed our water-resistant products, as well as completed base electrical; installing outlets, switches, jacks, lighting, and other finishes. The homeowners chose ElitePlant Flooring™, a scratch-resistant and moisture-proof flooring, in our dark walnut color. Our team also installed our EverLast™ wall panels and PVC crown molding.

The homeowners were thrilled with our work and now have a fully-finished basement to enjoy!
