Before & After Photos

This Virginia, MN homeowner met us at the Iron Range home show and expressed concern for their leaky basement.

They had been having issues with mold in their basement and wanted a permanent solution to the problem. Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman, Kevin Steffey, and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, as well as CleanSpace® Wall Poly on the walls. The system directs all moisture to a brand new SuperSump® sump pump. 

This home now has a safe and dry basement to enjoy!

At DBS, we recently completed a transformative project in Virginia, MN, using our advanced solutions like the SmartPump, IceGuard, CleanSpace, TerraBlock, Sedona SaniDry, and SprayFoam. The homeowners wanted to stabilize their home for the long run, ensuring minimal structural movement and preserving the house for future generations. With these installations, they can confidently pass the home down to their children, knowing it's protected and secure for years to come.

A Minnesota 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. Glen Olcott, 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 homeowner in Brainerd, MN reached out to DBS due to a persistent musty smell that welcomed them after any absence, we identified the untreated sand floor in their crawl space as the culprit. By installing CleanSpace® to encapsulate the area and a SaniDry™ Sedona to dehumidify, we eradicated the odors and protected their home’s integrity. Notice in the photo how CleanSpace® brightens and seals the space, delivering not just a aesthetically pleasing solution but a barrier against moisture and mold, ensuring a healthy home environment.

Previously, this basement in Brainerd struggled with persistent water leaks, forcing homeowners into a cycle of temporary remedies—from continual water removal to makeshift repairs that proved ineffective over time. Facing the prospect of deteriorating walls and a consistently damp storage area was not acceptable. In the current photo, observe the remarkable change brought about by our WaterGuard® system. Today, the space remains dry, safeguarded, and capable of storing valuables securely, free from water damage concerns. We've successfully converted an ongoing issue into a lasting solution, ensuring the preservation and full usability of both the basement and boathouse structures. This transformation provides peace of mind and enhances the overall happiness within the home.
