Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Eveleth, MN was looking to have their garage better insulated, and reached out to DBS for some help. After a visit from a Design Specialist, it was determined that the perimeter of the garage would need to have spray foam insulation installed to keep the garage better heated and more energy-efficient. Spray foam insulation works wonders in insulating homes where there may be cold and drafty air. The results of this project turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more warm and comfortable garage area. 

These Eveleth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS for information on wall stabilization.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home, assessed the problem, and created a solution for the unwanted water and failing walls. To permanently stabilize the walls our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was installed along the perimeter of the basement. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his crew successfully installed the products.

The homeowners now enjoy a safe, stable and dry basement!

This log construction cabin has been in the family since it was first built. Changes in the soil with freezing and thawing throughout the years have caused significant settling in the structure. The family was concerned about the health of the cabin and wanted a permanent solution in protecting it in years to come.

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder visited the cabin and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the cabin's foundation repair work. After inspecting the crawl space, and measuring the structure's settlement, he crafted a plan that would restore the cabin's structural integrity. 

DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his crew installed 10 push piers around the perimeter, completing a lift procedure of the sinking structure. They also added supplemental beams and a SmartJack® System to support the floor joists beneath the cabin. 

This family can now rest easy knowing that their cabin is safe and secure for many years to come!
