How do I prevent my basement from getting wet?

Protecting your basement from water leaks or flooding starts with identifying water intrusion sources and installing a high-quality basement waterproofing system. Your system should be tailored to your home's individual needs and may include waterproofing products such as an interior drainage system and sump pump. Learn more about how you can prevent water in your basement.

How can I make a damp basement dry?

When it comes to keeping your damp basement dry, installing a dependable basement waterproofing system is key. An interior drainage system and sump pump work in tandem to keep water out of the basement and away from your foundation while a dehumidifier keeps the air dry and prevents condensation from forming on walls, ceilings, and windows. Learn more about how to make a damp basement dry.

How do I fix a leaky basement foundation?

There are many foundation waterproofing methods and products available to prevent water intrusion. However, most water problems can't be solved with a single product or treatment. Working with a reputable waterproofing company is the best way to ensure the basement waterproofing systems that best suit your specific needs are installed. Learn more about how to fix a leaky basement foundation.

How do I get rid of mold and musty odors in my basement?

Mold and mildew thrive in dark, moist environments where organic materials are present, such as a basement or crawl space. Fixing water leaks and protecting against future moisture intrusion with a reliable waterproofing system, as well as keeping the air dry with a dehumidifier, prevents mold growth and odors in your basement. Learn more about how to get rid of mold and musty odors in the basement.

Saw an ad on Facebook about DBC going to be at the Erie Home Show. Looked at the pics on your website and saw the walls in the basement with the black ceiling I had. What really sold me was your salesman, Jeff. He worked with me on the price and what could be done. All the crew were really nice and professional. They answered all questions and were very helpful. I would highly recommend Andy, Josh, Sergey, and Jose.

We were extremely impressed with DBC starting with our first meetings with Jeff. From the very beginning, he and the project manager, carpenter and crew listened to what we wanted and helped us articulate aspects of our vision. They asked thoughtful questions to understand our needs and worked with us every step of the way. They never tried to push their own agenda. Instead, they honored our ideas and found ways to make them a reality while offering valuable guidance along the way. All of the crew was like this! For example, when finishing our small sliding windows, Josh asked for our finishing preference. We offered a picture of a finish that we liked that was completely separate from his suggestions and, working from just a single picture, he was able to create what we had shown him — a gorgeous boxed out finish! It was incredible and he is an amazing, adaptable carpenter!This is just one of many examples of how we felt heard and like we were true collaborators in this basement finishing process. We could not be happier with the work. We cannot wait to begin using our new basement! We recommend DBC to anyone looking for quality construction. We already have talked about your work to several friends!
