Before & After Photos

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. 

The homeowner of this property was in the process of gutting the basement for a renovation project when they discovered large cracks running from the top to the bottom of the basement walls. Concerned about the structural integrity of their foundation, they contacted DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist James Miller visited their property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue at hand. James informed the homeowner that the foundation was failing, and DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System would permanently stabilize the walls.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation for this project along with his team, and together they installed 6 PowerBrace™ I-beams. After a successful installation, the foundation of this home is now stabilized for years to come.

The homeowner is finally able to go about renovating the basement without worry that the walls are going to fail, and have peace of mind knowing that no additional cracking will occur.

Faced with chilly drafts and a troubling wall crack, a homeowner in Superior, WI knew their basement required serious attention. As shown in the before photo, the issue was more than just cosmetic—it was a significant breach in their home’s defenses. Enter DBS with our reliable solution: the PowerBrace™ system. This robust system not only reinforced their foundation against further damage but also enhanced comfort by waterproofing and encapsulating the crawlspace. The result? No more cold drafts or concerns—just a secure, warm basement ready to handle whatever comes its way.

The owners of this home in Superior, WI noticed that their kitchen addition was drooping into the ground. They intended on selling their home within the next year and a half so they reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist James Miller visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, James informed the owners about our helical pier system. 

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation on the project with help from a crew. Together they drilled 4 helical piers into the soil beneath the addition to permanently stabilize its foundation. Piers are installed underneath a foundation to provide substantial support to a structure by pushing against bedrock deep below the surface.

Now that the kitchen has been permanently stabilized, the homeowners can think confidently about selling their home in the near future.
