Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Kinney, MN was looking to sell their home but needed to find a solution to improve the state of the unstable foundation walls.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended our GeoLock™ Wall Anchoring System.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from his Co-Foreman Rowan Wentworth. This solution is connected to parts both inside and outside of the home. They are then pulled together in order to straighten and stabilize the wall.

This home is stable and ready to be put on the market!

These homeowners in Ashland, WI reached out to DBS for help with bowing walls in their basement. 

Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for their work. After inspection Rich recommended using our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew installed the PowerBrace® beams along the perimeter of the basement. This immediately stabilized the foundation of the home and will be adjusted over time to straighten the walls. 

These homeowners now enjoy a safe and stable basement! 

Homeowners in Tower, MN wanted to seal their crawl space to curb temperature and humidity fluctuations in the rest of their home. To learn more about what steps were needed to seal their crawl space, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist on this project. After inspecting the damp crawl space and providing a free, no-obligation estimate, Royce recommended installing CleanSpace® vapor barrier over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space, preventing moisture and the growth of mold.

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

This cabin in Tower, MN was first built in 1895. After owning this property since the 1960's, they've noticed some significant issues with the cabin's foundation and crawl space. After having work done by DBS to correct the foundation issues and save the structure, they wanted to learn more about what steps were needed to properly insulate the home. They reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver® services.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew place a drainage layer and vapor barrier in the crawl space. This will prevent moisture from entering the cabin through the crawl space. Keeping your crawl space dry can also significantly reduce long-term damage to the wooden building material supporting the structure. From there, they applied closed-cell spray foam insulation to the rim joists where the crawl space was releasing cold air into the main level of the home. 

The owner was happy with the work done, resulting in a great improvement of this cabin's overall health.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that a lift procedure was needed to address foundation settlement, as well as some supplemental support. Jose Valenzuela and his crew installed 100+ feet of supplemental support beam beneath the home and then drove 6 HelixPro® piers into the ground to support the structure. These piers are driven through the soil, down to the strata layer of rock, providing solid support to the space.

The owner was happy with the work done, and can continue to enjoy this cabin retreat with family for years to come!
