Before & After Photos

This homeowner was severely lacking proper insulation in their attic. In order to remedy the problem in this situation or specialist worked with the homeowner to decide on the proper amount of blow in cellulose insulation that would keep the home comfortable while remaining within budget. This homeowner went with over 24" of insulation in their attic. This will keep heat in the home and prevent unconditioned air in the attic from reaching the home.  

This homeowner in Longville, MN wanted to address their home's stability problems. The house needed a secure and permanent solution, so the owner trusted DBS to help.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen assisted the owner in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for the home. After a careful inspection, it was decided that piering would be the best option.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a team. These piers are driven into the soil until stability is reached. The piers are then able to push the house up and stabilize it permanently. 

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is safe and secure.

This Stillwater MN home was having problems with water coming into the basement from around the perimeter of the basement and through the walls in specific areas. The homeowner wanted to eliminate the concerns they had for the items they were storing in their basement that would sometimes get wet or need to be moved to avoid getting wet every time it would rain. They were looking for a solution that would give them back the use of the large storage area under their home and reduce the "basement smells" that were present in the home. To help ease the customer's concerns, our Specialists suggested our full interior waterproofing system. This customer understood that a full interior waterproofing system would help direct the water coming into their home directly into their sump pump rather than through the basement where it could ruin their valuables. With the customer in agreement to this solution we got to work installing the waterproof membrane on the basement walls which was sealed to the drain tile down below. This drain tile utilizes our patented technology which prevents dirt from clogging the system and allows water to be efficiently drained away from the home.
