Before & After Photos

Facing a rocky start in Cloquet, MN, this homeowner noticed their once steady floors had become an unwelcome roller coaster ride inside their own house. Eager to stabilize and bring peace of mind back to this home, the team at DBS sprang into action. Using the robust Push Pier© system, as visibly captured in these before-and-after photos, we dove deep below the surface to anchor and stabilize their foundation. Now, notice how the after photo reflects not just a level floor but the homeowner's restored confidence in the safety of their home. With DBS, sagging spirits were lifted, quite literally!

Before tackling exterior renovations on their rental property in Cloquet, MN, the homeowner noticed a concerning foundation issue. As shown in the before photo, this problem required immediate attention. We stepped in to provide a reliable solution, installing Helicast™ Helical Piers along with a single beam of PowerBrace™ for extra support to stabilize the foundation. In the after photo, you can see how seamlessly we restored the property’s integrity, ensuring a safe and robust foundation for years to come, setting the stage for the homeowner's renovation plans.

Notice in the before photo the damp, uninviting crawl space this Cloquet, MN homeowner faced when planning to sell and downsize. Moisture and lack of insulation were clear concerns. Our team at DBS Repair provided a comprehensive solution using CleanSpace, EverBrace, and TerraBlock. These products effectively encapsulated and insulated the space, mitigating moisture and stabilizing the foundation. As reflected in the after photo, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and secure—a market-ready enhancement that adds value and assurance for the homeowner and potential buyers alike.

This basement had walls with cracks that were allowing water to come through the wall and enter the basement. We used our CleanSpace matting to create a waterproofed wall. This method also creates a bright white clean look for the basement foundation walls. 

This customer had another contractor come in and blow in a bunch of fiberglass insulation. To properly insulate this home we dug through this insulation to find all the major penetrations found and air seal them. Then new attic air chutes need to be installed and the new cellulose blown in over the top of the fiberglass. Then we insulated the entire rim joist. These photos show the difference of how the attic was previously insulated and how we completed a full insulation installation. The home will now be warm and cozy.
