Before & After Photos

Homeowners of an 1890's home in Deer River, MN had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. It had failing insulation causing temperature and humidity fluctuations in the rest of their home, as well as cold floors during winter months. To learn more about what steps were needed to seal their crawl space, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was recommended that a CleanSpace® vapor barrier be laid over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space into a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System. To further prevent moisture and the growth of mold, TerraBlock™ insulation and closed-cell spray foam were installed to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. 

The DBS Foreman and production crew installed these products resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health. 

The owner of this home in Knife River, MN reached out to us looking for help with their sinking crawl space foundation.

One of our Design Specialists came to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our SmartJack® System.

One of our crews came out to install the system. Together they installed crawl space support pillars underneath the beams to permanently stabilize the foundation. They also installed CleanSpace® water vapor barrier and sprayed polyurethane foam in the crawl space to waterproof the area.

Now that the crawl space has been repaired, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

This is the kind of cabin you would not feel very relaxed at. Isn't that what you want when you go on vacation?

With a foundation like this, the owner was experiencing doors that wouldn't open, and slanted floors. This problem can come from poorly built foundations, bad soil, drying and shrinking of soil, wetting and softening of soil, etc. If you are having concerns about your foundation settling, call us today! We have a solution for you!

DBS received a call that required foundation and crawl space repair. The household required several services. First, excavate the home. Then, put a layer of our waterproofing materials, and then put exterior drainage around the entire home. The drainage would ultimately lead away from the home after this long process of hard work, but DBS is always up for the job. We’ve included a photo of the home before we began the production process, followed by the excavation of the home to get a better idea of the work that DBS did for our clients.

These homeowners in Ashland, WI reached out to DBS for help with bowing walls in their basement. 

Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for their work. After inspection Rich recommended using our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew installed the PowerBrace® beams along the perimeter of the basement. This immediately stabilized the foundation of the home and will be adjusted over time to straighten the walls. 

These homeowners now enjoy a safe and stable basement!
