Before & After Photos

This crawl space had issues with water. The home itself was on the bottom of a slope and water would sometimes gather in the crawl space. Standing water creates a very damp crawl space atmosphere which contributes to mold, musty smells, and rot. This nasty crawl space required a complete encapsulation to seal it away from the problems it was facing. Underneath our CleanSpace matting in the corner of this crawl space we have installed a sump pump to prevent water from gathering and causing further issues with the home. This completed system brings new life to a home that may have eventually felt the effects of mold and rot if not handled properly. 

This homeowner in Holyoke, MN was never too concerned about the quality of his crawl space. Once he learned about the effects of a poor crawl space, he decided to do something about it. After doing some research, he found DBS and reached out to them to set up an appointment to have a system design specialist come evaluate his home. Following a brief friendly phone conversation with the office staff, an appointment was set to have DBS’ home comfort specialist make a trip out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. The specialist did a thorough inspection of the home and explained to the homeowner the best possible solution. First, the crawl space should be cleaned and the old insulation should be removed before the new installation could begin. To best insulate the space, SilverGlo™ high-performance graphite insulation should be installed on the crawl space walls. Then, each rim joist should be spray foamed throughout the entire crawl space which would further eliminate any cool drafts from entering the home. This top of the line solution would leave the homeowner with a clean, warm and dry crawl space. After the specialist and homeowner came to a comfortable price agreement, a date was set to have the production crew professionally complete the installation. This great solution left the home with a higher level of energy efficiency and a clean dry crawl space.

A homeowner in Holyoke, MN, contacted us to stabilize their three-season room, which had inadequate support from cut sono tubes. Concerned about resale value and functionality, they needed a solution that would address both structural and aesthetic issues. Our Customer Care team quickly scheduled a free, no-obligation, estimate with Design Specialist James Miller, who recommended Helical Piers for foundational support. Under Foreman Jordan's guidance, our production crew installed Helical Piers, resolving the room's structural instability. This solution not only addressed the visible issues but also reinforced the room's integrity, restoring it to a stable and attractive condition. The homeowner now enjoys their revitalized three-season room with the assurance of a solid foundation

Before: Our client in Holyoke, MN faced trouble with their three-season room - it was unstable, making the aesthetics suffer and raising concerns about future property value. As visible in the 'before' photo, the sono tubes were improperly cut and tied into the floor, demanding urgent attention for safety and usability. Our Appointment Center promptly scheduled a free, no-obligation inspection with Design Specialist James. After: Our production team, led by Foreman Jordan, installed our adjustable Helical Pier© system, ensuring the room was not only stabilized but noticeably improved in appearance and functionality. 

The owner of this home in Askov, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with bowing walls in their basement.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist recommended our Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System.

Foreman Jacob Nustad led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed Geo-Lock® anchors on the inside of the basement walls in order to permanently stabilize the basement walls. The Geo-Lock® works to lock the anchors from the outside through soil as there is another anchor buried in the soil outside parallel to the one on the inside. 

Now that the basement walls have been stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
