Before & After Photos

In Warba, MN, a homeowner faced a common yet challenging issue with their crawlspace: it needed encapsulation for a cleaner and healthier environment. As shown in the 'before' photo, the area was exposed and vulnerable. Our team at DBS stepped in, transforming the space with our CleanSpace© system for encapsulation and SmartJack© for stable, reliable support – turning the once problematic crawlspace into a sealed and secure area. Notice in the 'after' photo how the space is now clean and efficiently protected, showcasing our commitment to providing lasting solutions and a remarkable customer experience.

Before, this crawlspace in Britt, MN, was a waterlogged worry, too daunting and damp for homeowners to tackle, depicted in the photo's grim reality. Floods forced the use of fans and shop vacs—a temporary fix for a persistent problem. Now, notice in the after photo, a transformation to a dry, inviting space. Through installing a SaniDry™ Sedona for efficient dehumidification, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to lock out moisture, IceGuard® to prevent sump pump discharge line freezes, and a SingleSafe™ Sump Pump for unbeatable water evacuation, we've turned dread into delight. Our solution offers peace of mind, ensuring a sturdy defense against moisture, with an aim, always, to provide a remarkable customer experience and lasting relief from home water woes.

This homeowner in Calumet, MN, reached out to us with a partially finished basement, doubling as a master bed, that was leaking repeatedly. The evident water damage and dampness threatened the appeal and structure of their property. Yet, as you can see in the after photo, we've turned the tide against those leaks. Our Foreman Nik installed WaterGuard®, IceGuard®, and the TripleSafe® Sump Pump, providing a comprehensive waterproofing solution that not only addressed the immediate issue but offered lasting protection against future water intrusions. Now, the basement stands dry, secure, and comfortable, ensuring the homeowner's peace of mind and preserving their home's value. 

When a homeowner in Nisswa, MN noticed their kitchen floor and cabinets shifting—enough to make cooking oil slide in a pan—they realized it was time to take action. Worried about potential damage extending to their basement or crawlspace, they reached out to us. The before photo illustrates the urgent need for our intervention. We responded with our robust PowerBrace™ system and installed a CleanSpace® liner for encapsulation, along with a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, IceGuard®, and UltraSump™ System to address moisture issues and ensure the home's stability. The after photo reveals a completely transformed, secure space, offering years of protection and peace of mind.

This Duluth, MN homeowner called DBS to set up a free, no-obligation estimate for her crawl space concerns. Their cabin had a lot of standing water in the crawlspace. The homeowner noticed that the floors started to sag and moisture was creeping into their living spaces. Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited this cabin and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. All excess organic material was removed and dirt was leveled under the foundation of the cabin. The foundation was then stabilized using Helical Piers. Next CleanSpace® was installed to keep moisture out permanently. The homeowners now enjoy a safe, permanently stable and clean cabin and crawlspace.
