Before & After Photos

Notice in the before photo the gloomy and damp ambiance of a crawlspace in Cromwell, MN – a space that troubled the homeowner with mold and odorous concerns, fearing water damage to their building materials. However, as the after photo vividly demonstrates, our intervention transformed it into a dry, healthy environment. Utilizing our SaniDry™ Sedona for powerful dehumidification, CleanSpace® wall system to protect and isolate, IceGuard® to prevent overflows during freezing, and a SmartSump™ pump system for superior water mitigation, we not only addressed the immediate worries but also ensured a long-lasting, worry-free solution. Through our dedication to superior service, we provided a remarkable customer experience and a reliably dry crawlspace, turning their anxiety into peace of mind.

A concerned homeowner in Cromwell, MN, sought a permanent solution to eliminate mold, odors, and water intrusion in their crawlspace. Worried about the potential health risks and structural damage, they turned to DBS Residential Solutions for help. Our team addressed a severely wet basement by tilting the concrete to direct water away from the house and implementing comprehensive waterproofing measures. We installed an IceGuard system and CleanSpace liner to provide additional protection against water and ensure a dry, healthy, and secure environment. This project meets the homeowner's expectations for a lasting fix.

Before relocating to McGrath, MN, a concerned homeowner reached out to us about the excessive moisture in their crawl space, fearing it would worsen over time. As shown in the "before" photo, the space clearly required professional intervention. By installing our SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier and sealing the area with CleanSpace® liner and DoubleSafe™, as seen in the "after" photo, we converted the moisture-prone area into a dry, efficient space. This solution not only addressed the immediate concern but also provided long-term protection, ensuring the home’s health and comfort. Our dedication to exceptional customer service was evident in both the problem-solving and the lasting peace of mind we delivered.

Owners of this 1950's home in Canyon, MN had issues with water seeping through foundation cracks in the basement. As evidenced in the before photo, this basement has sustained water damage from prolonged water exposure. Tired of cleaning up their flooded basement after heavy rains, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair and waterproofing system. DBS Foreman Joe Harris and crew installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, that will direct all moisture to a new SingleSafe™ Sump Pump. The crew also installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the walls that were extra prone to water leakage. 

To correct the structural issues, the team installed 4 PowerBrace™ beams to correct the bowing foundation walls, as well as 8 SmartJack® beams to support the sinking basement supports. 

This home is now protected against further structural movement and water issues.
