Insulation in Drummond, WI

This homeowner in Drummond, Wisconsin was concerned about heating in the home. Wanting to stay warm throughout the winter, this homeowner decided to get the home insulated to a high quality. After doing some research, the homeowner reached out to another company to get a quote. However, that company did not respond after the inspection, and the homeowner decided to reach out again, only this time to DBS. Following a brief friendly phone call with the office staff, an appointment was made to have Henrik Makitalo, a system design specialist go out to the home for a free inspection. Henrik was able to give a written estimate that same day and after a comfortable price agreement, a date was promptly set to have a crew come out to perform the installation. The installation of the high-quality spray foam proved to make a difference in the insulation and comfort of the home. Finishing the final step of the smooth process with DBS, the happy owner was able to enjoy a warm home throughout the cold winter.

Basement In Iron River, WI Saved From Water Damage Caused By Cracked Foundation Walls

The owner of this structure noticed cracking in the walls of the foundation along with water leaking through the walls. They have recently been thinking about reselling the property, and in hopes of finding a solution to increase the resale value of her property, they contacted DBS solutions.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After completing a thorough inspection, Henrik suggested that this property would greatly benefit from DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman Osia Williams completed this project along with his team, and they successfully installed 2 PowerBrace™ I-beams that will correct bowing and prevent further cracking over time. DBS consulted with the owner upon completion of the first project to come back a second time in order to install waterproofing materials.

The owner of this property can now think clearly about potentially reselling the property now that they are assured the foundation is sound, sturdy, and stabilized.

Push Piers Lift and Level Sinking Foundation in Iron River, WI

This homeowner in Iron River, WI recently purchased this home and wanted to address the stability issues. Needing a permanent and professional solution, they trusted DBS to help.

Design Specialist James Miller visited the home in order to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, a quote was provided for our push pier support system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a team. They began by excavating the area around the foundation of the home. Next, they use hydraulic pressure to move the pier down through the ground until it reached native, stable soil. Once reached, the pressure pushes against the soil and lifts the structure back to its original position. 

This homeowner can now relax in their new home knowing it is level and stable.

This anchor is attached to a steel plate that is installed inside of the home. Once connected, the system can be adjusted to pull the cracked wall back into its original position. This system will also continue to hold the wall in place.
