Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Watertown, MN reached out to us looking for a solution to unsupported floors in their home.

One of our Design Specialists went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our SmartJack® System.

One of our Foremen led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed the SmartJack® System in the basement of the home to ensure the flooring above is permanently stabilized.

This home sat on top of a crawl space that had been sectioned off by concrete blocks. When we encapsulated this crawl space we knew that the areas with an interior foundation wall would not require additional insulation so we were able to seal our CleanSpace matting directly to the interior foundation wall. The matting we used gives the crawl space a very clean look while creating an environment that is no longer musty. 

This Beaver Bay crawl space was vented which allowed the unconditioned air from the outdoors to freely enter under the home. In the winter these vents could be shut, but it was not providing an air tight seal necessary to block out the cold winter air. To fix this issue when we encapsulated the crawl space we filled the vent area with insulation and used spray foam insulation to seal the space and prevent air from leaking through. 

This crawl space was obviously quite dusty and with several vents and protrusions to the home above this area the musty smells and dusty air were easily entering the home. DBS Residential Solutions was able to remedy the situation present in this damp crawl space by insulating and encapsulating the entire crawl space. This process separated the home from the dirt floor below.
