Before & After Photos

This Grand Rapids, MN basement, once plagued by persistent dampness, has been transformed into a tenant-ready space. Originally an office, the homeowner’s plan to rent it out seemed challenging due to moisture issues, as shown in the before photo. We provided a comprehensive solution with WaterGuard® for water seepage, SaniDry™ Sedona for humidity control, CleanSpace® liner for a waterproof barrier, and IceGuard® to prevent backups in freezing conditions. The after photo highlights the successful transformation—dry, comfortable, and ready for tenants—demonstrating our commitment to delivering reliable, long-lasting solutions for every home project.

This customer reached out to DBS after they had purchased a house. They wanted to make sure their crawlspace was 4 seasons safe and that they could use their crawlspace more efficiently. They were expecting a dry, clean storage space for the future! Our Design Specialist recommended a fully waterproofed space including a CleanSpace® wall barrier, brand new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, SaniDry™, and spray foam for rim joist insulation.

When our crew went out to the property, they 

A homeowner contacted DBS after purchasing a house and wanted to ensure that their crawlspace was a dry and stable place for storage. During an inspection, our Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, found a crack in the foundation wall, and he suggested the installation of 3 push piers to stabilize and lift the foundation wall. He also recommended a fully insulated and waterproofed crawlspace and the installation of a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to keep the area dry and clean.

After the homeowner agreed to the plan, the crew, led by Foreman Jared Peterson, arrived and started by clearing out the space and installing the 3 push piers to lift the foundation. They then sprayed the walls and rim joists with a spray foam system to insulate the area and prevent air leaks. Once the spray foam was installed, the CleanSpace™ Wall System was set up to direct water to the sump pump and prevent mold and mildew growth. Finally, the TripleSafe™ sump pump and dehumidifier were installed to ensure that the crawlspace remains dry at all times. The homeowner was very pleased with the final result and now has a dry and stable crawlspace for additional storage.
