Before & After Photos

This Cloquet, MN homeowner has lived in their home since it was built in 1940. Over time the home's crawl space has settled, causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. Once doors and windows on the first level became difficult to open due to the foundation shifting, the homeowner reached out to DBS for a permanent solution. 

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn 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 the Smart Jack® system as well as supplemental beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. 

The homeowner now enjoys a healthy, safe, and comfortable home! 

Homeowners in South Range, WI were having foundation issues leading to excess moisture entering the home. Living in the home for about 15 years, they noticed the issues worsening over time, contributing to significant leaking during springtime thaws and heavy rains. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for foundation repair as well as a waterproofing system. DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the leading foreman on the job for both jobs. He and his production team installed our waterproofing system, and then turn focus to the foundation job. 

First, they excavated soil around the home's foundation and then installed 9 Push Piers, driving them down into the load-bearing strata. These hydraulically driven piers assist in returning the home to its original position. A GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System was also installed connecting anchors on the inside of the home and exterior soil with a long steel rod that will be tightened over time, returning the walls to their original position. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a dry basement and supported home they can depend on! 

These homeowners in Deer River, MN reached out to DBS for help repairing their wet and moldy crawl space.

After inspecting the damp crawl space, Hunter recommended installing CleanSpace® vapor barrier over drainage matting, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, and closed cell spray foam insulation. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

Owners of this Superior, WI were experiencing issues with their dirt crawl space. Moisture in the warm months and cold air in the winter months were causing undesirable conditions for the rest of the home. After seeing our website, they decided to contact us in search of a permanent solution to the problem. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for some insulation work. A DBS Foreman and crew installed closed-cell spray foam carefully along the base and rim joists of the crawl space foundation. This Spray Foam insulation will assist in completely sealing the space from outside air and moisture. 

This crawl space is now completely sealed, regulating temperature, and moisture levels for the entire home.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the attic and conducting an energy audit it was determined additional insulation was needed to keep this home healthy and comfortable. DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg installed SilverGlo™ along the uninsulated walls to prevent outdoor air entering through the knee wall.
