Before & After Photos

This 1930's home in Stone Lake, WI had issues with shifting blocks in the foundation wall. Over the past 10 years, the homeowner noticed the problem worsening. Wanting to protect the investment in their home, they contacted us for a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation work. 

DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and performed a thorough diagnosis, assessing the basement wall cracking. His action plan for the block walls in the basement was to install our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

DBS Foreman Joe Harris installed 6 PowerBrace™ I-beams. Our team anchored the beams to the basement concrete, as well as to the rim joists in the ceiling. These beams will be tightened overtime to restore the wall's original position.

The homeowners were happy with the work done and can now count on a safe and supported basement.

Recently, a homeowner in tranquil Stone Lake, WI, contacted us about water seeping into their basement. Understanding the urgency and potential damage, our team swiftly responded. After a thorough inspection, we recommended and installed WaterGuard®, IceGuard®, and a SingleSafe™ sump pump to fortify the basement against future water issues. The result? A dry, welcoming space ready to handle any challenge, reflecting our commitment to reliable solutions and exceptional customer service at DBS.

A homeowner in Hayward, WI was experiencing issues with leaking water in the newly finished basement of their cabin, and reached out to DBS for some assistance.

This product is ideal for repairing water damaged drywall, and also adds better insulation for a more warm and comfortable area. The results turned out great, and the photos of the finished product can be seen here.

These homeowners in Hayward, WI reached out to DBS after their basement crawlspace had multiple inches of water and the existing sump pump was completely flooded out.

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew got to work by removing many gallons of water and preparing the damp earth for the waterproofing process.  A new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump was installed in the basement and CleanSpace® waterproofing material was placed along the walls of the crawlspace and the flooring.

These homeowners in Hayward, MN needed major assistance with their crawl space issues. After purchasing a new home, they discovered standing water in the crawl space and rotting support beams. Wanting to avoid any further damage to the home, and to combat any mold issues, the owners reached out to DBS for help. 

Design Specialist James Miller assisted these homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for their home. After a thorough inspection, James provided a quote and recommended the installation of SmartJack® beams and drainage matting. 

Foreman Chris Church led the installation of the encapsulation project. Chris and his team fully encapsulated the crawl space, starting with drainage matting. This helps the soil and dirt under the home to safely and effectively help drain the water in the space. Next, they used SprayFoam insulation to air seal the space and create a moisture barrier. They then used CleanSpace® to line the entirety of the crawl space for a clean, water resistant barrier, which also allows the space to be used for safe, dry storage. 

These homeowners can now enjoy their new home know their crawl space is safe and dry.
