Before & After Photos

Longtime homeowners in Superior, WI were having issues with the settling of their crawl space. Sagging support beams were causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the crawl space. It was determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling.

DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and production crew installed 4 Smart Jack® support beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. 

This homeowner had previously had waterproofing and GeoLock™ Wall Anchors installed by DBS and was looking to install Silver Glo Foam vertically up against the exterior wall and install a buried discharge line for the sump pump.

DBS Foreman, Osia Williams, and his Co-Foreman, Rowan Wentworth, worked hard to complete the job. They excavated around the house and the previously installed GeoLocks™, installed the Silver Glo Foam along the walls, and backfilled with sand and the dirt they excavated earlier. After they backfilled they installed the sump pump discharge line.

These homeowners in Superior, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help making their front porch energy efficient so they can spend time in it all year round. In past years the homeowners used two electric heaters to keep the space heated during Wisconsin's harsh winters. They were ready for a permanent solution when they called DBS!

A DBS Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the current insulation and utilizing heat mapping technology it was evident there were many air leaks and weak points in the existing insulation. The solution was a hybrid attic system that utilized closed cell spray foam to seal off air leaks and applying 18 inches of blown cellulose insulation on the attic floor. The sides of the home were dense-packed with blown insulation to keep outdoor air from entering the home. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

A homeowner in Superior, WI had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. Concerned about how this was affecting the humidity and temperature in the rest of their home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was recommended that a CleanSpace® vapor barrier be laid over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space, preventing moisture and the growth of mold. Additionally, a SmartSump™ was put into place.

The DBS Foreman and production crew installed these products resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health. 

These homeowners in Superior, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help making their failing basement foundation walls stable. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Rich recommended installing PowerBrace™  wall support beams to permanently stabilize the failing foundation walls. PowerBrace™ wall support beams are installed with a 75-year nationally backed warranty. They immediately stabilize failing walls and over time are tightened in an attempt to bring bowing walls back to level. This progress is benchmarked during annual maintenance appointments. 

Foreman Zach Royer and his production crew worked hard to install the PowerBrace™ beams and keep this home stable.
