Transforming a Damp Basement in Duluth: Waterproofing and Air Quality Solutions for a Dry, Comfortable Space
Recently in Duluth, MN, a homeowner reached out to us with concerns about ongoing water intrusion and musty odors in their basement, taking a toll on their living space. As shown in the before photo, the space was damp and uninviting. Our solution? We installed our reliable WaterGuard® system and TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, alongside IceGuard® and SaniDry™ Sedona to manage moisture and ensure the air quality remains healthy. The after photo proudly displays the transformation to a clean, dry, and comfortable basement, wrapped with our CleanSpace® wall system for that final touch of protection and aesthetic.

Basement Transformation in Two Harbors, MN for Moldy Basement
In Two Harbors, MN, a damp, moldy basement was once an unsafe and unusable space, unfit for the cherished family gatherings it was meant to host. As shown in the before photo, the basement was a breeding ground for mold, posing serious health risks to the family, especially with 20 grandkids who regularly played there. To turn this space around, we implemented a comprehensive set of solutions designed to eliminate moisture and mold for good.
Using the UltraSump™ System, CleanSpace® lining, SaniDry™ Sedona, and WaterGuard®, we successfully transformed the basement into a dry, secure environment. These systems work together to control moisture, prevent mold growth, and ensure the space remains comfortable and safe for years to come.
As seen in the after photo, the once-damp, ominous space is now bright, inviting, and ready to host countless family memories without the worries of mold or moisture. This renovation wasn’t just a fix; it was a complete transformation that combined cutting-edge technology with our commitment to providing peace of mind and long-term reliability for the homeowner.

Waterproofing System for Leaking Herbster, WI Home
These homeowners in Herbster, WI had been dealing with a wet basement since they moved in 20 years ago. They noticed the problem getting significantly worse, making it unsuitable for storage and laundry spaces. After learning about our waterproofing service on local tv, they decided they were ready for a permanent solution with DBS.
DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Rich saw signs of water immediately when he entered the basement. After thoroughly inspecting the interior and exterior of the property, Rich presented a solution that would solve the basement's water issues.
DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the project foremen on the job. He and his crew applied CleanSpace® wall poly to collect moistue and direct it to a brand new WaterGuard® french drainage system. This system sits flush with the floor and is completely hidden and new flooring will be installed over it.
This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
