Before & After Photos

Previously, our customer in Arden Hills, MN, struggled with their spacious but underutilized crawl space, plagued by unwanted mice activity. Their goal was twofold: to make the space usable for storage and to enhance their home's value. We addressed their concerns by installing our CleanSpace® solution, spray foam insulation, and TerraBlock™ bottom crawl space insulation. The transformation is evident in the photos; the after image shows a seamless, clean area ready for storage, free from pests. Our commitment provided a durable, clean environment, turning their crawl space challenges into home improvement successes.

Before, this New Brighton home's crawl space was plagued by water intrusion, causing disruption and damage to the home’s foundation. The homeowners faced the loss of usable space and potential structural issues. However, as shown in the photo, DBS changed everything. We installed WaterGuard® along the perimeter for effective drainage, IceGuard® to prevent overflows during freezing temperatures, CleanSpace® to protect the walls from moisture, and the DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump for efficient water evacuation. The after photo tells the story: a dry, secure crawl space that’s now an asset to the home. Trust us to not only fix the issue but ensure a future free from water problems.

In the before photo, the crawl space in Iron River, WI, was in poor condition, causing unpleasant odors to seep into the home and stealing the homeowner’s peace of mind. To solve this, our skilled team at DBS introduced a comprehensive solution. We installed CleanSpace® to create a clean, durable barrier that sealed the space, preventing moisture and odors from entering the home. To further enhance the system, we included SmartSump™ to provide efficient water removal and SmartDrain® to redirect any water that might enter, ensuring the crawl space remained dry and secure.

As shown in the after photo, the transformation is nothing short of remarkable. The crawl space is now a pristine, well-protected environment that not only eliminated the troublesome odors but also restored the homeowner’s peace of mind. This is the essence of what we do – turning challenging spaces into comfortable, worry-free areas with lasting solutions that enhance the home.

This home in Solon Springs, WI had been in the family for nearly 50 years. The crawl space support beams were failing and the homeowner was in need of a permanent solution. They contacted DBS after learning about our crawl space support systems.

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support work. Nathan saw failure of the existing support system and recommended installing SmartJack® stabilization beams to offer a permanent solution. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his production crew.

This crawl space support system consisted of 38 feet of supplement steel beam, running parallel to the crawl space dirt floor. From there, they installed 9 SmartJack® telescoping support posts. To encapsulate the dirt crawl space, they installed a vapor barrier called CleanSpace®. This thick poly sheet is place on top of a drainage matting layer and will assist in keep the dirt floor free from moisture build-up.

Finally, our crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the rim joists in the crawl space to insulate and air seal the space. This will prevent cold air, pests, and water from entering the space. Ultimately, this will protect the foundation, and allow for a more energy efficient home.

This home can now be enjoyed without worry of further structural damage!
