Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Barnum, MN had issues with water in their basement and reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

 A DBS Design Specialist went to the property in order to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, they recommended our SuperSump™ sump pump.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed the SuperSump™ pump in the basement at the lowest part in order to ensure water was able to flow into the basin to be expelled out and away from the foundation through a discharge line outside of the home.

Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

This Barnum, MN basement, once a victim of relentless flooding, rendered it unusable and frustrating for the homeowner. After reaching out to us, our Appointment Center quickly scheduled a free, no obligation inspection. Design Specialist Jake Gilmer took a look at the basement and recommended the WaterGuard© and CleanSpace© technology as a permanent fix. Production team, led by Foreman Lee Krouse then got to work installing our top-notch WaterGuard© system alongside the CleanSpace© technology, transforming this waterlogged space into a dry, comfortable, and usable area of the home. 

In Barnum, MN, a homeowner struggled with water intrusion in their basement and reached out for help. Our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a home inspection, where our System Design Specialist assessed the situation and identified the need for modern waterproofing. We recommended the Mel-Rol™ and Lawnscape™ systems: Mel-Rol™ prevents water entry, while Lawnscape™ manages surface water around the foundation. Both systems are installed quickly with minimal disruption. Our skilled team efficiently integrated these solutions, resulting in a basement free from water intrusion. The homeowner can now enjoy a dry, worry-free space, thanks to our effective waterproofing solutions.

The owner of this home in Grand Marais, MN experienced issues with dark streaks on the ceiling that was caused by condensation. This issue arises when improper insulation of the attic causes heat to flow into the space and forms ice dams on the roof. Looking for a solution, the homeowner reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, he informed the homeowners about DBS attic insulation systems that would solve their issue.

Foreman Nicholas Woods II led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they removed the old batting insulation in the attic to start with a clean slate. Then they installed TiteShell™ can light covers over the lighting fixtures and sealed each with ZypFoam™ to prevent air leaks through gaps. To complete the air sealing process, the crew applied closed cell spray foam insulation to the floorboards in the attic. Finally, they blew in 18 inches of TruSoft™ cellulose insulation.

The homeowners will be much more comfortable in their homes now that their attic has been properly insulated. 

This customer contacted DBS after experiencing a water issue and bowing that required immediate attention. They wanted to have peace of mind again regarding the resolution of the wall-related issues that were reoccurring. When our Design Specialist came out to the property and recommended our waterproofing and foundation support services to help permanently fix these issues.

When our crew was able to get out to the property, they installed six levers to help with the stabilization of the foundation. The project proceeded smoothly with no major issues, leaving the customer exceptionally pleased.
