Before & After Photos

The area shown in this basement was having bad issues with moisture. As you can clearly tell the walls had become moldy which typically prompts health concerns for the home's inhabitors. These concerns are well founded and it is important to address issues like this as soon as they appear. DBS Residential Solutions helps to kill mold like this in our customer's homes and prevent it from happening again. We do this by using our "MoldX" spray formula to kill the existing mold and then we create a dry basement environment so that the mold does not have access to the moisture level necessary to thrive once again. To reduce the water present in this basement we installed a drain tile which is connected to this SuperSump which drains all of that water that enters it far away from the home. 

Homeowners of an 1890's home in Deer River, MN had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. It had failing insulation causing temperature and humidity fluctuations in the rest of their home, as well as cold floors during winter months. To learn more about what steps were needed to seal their crawl space, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was recommended that a CleanSpace® vapor barrier be laid over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space into a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System. To further prevent moisture and the growth of mold, TerraBlock™ insulation and closed-cell spray foam were installed to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. 

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

The owner of this home in Knife River, MN reached out to us looking for help with their sinking crawl space foundation.

One of our Design Specialists came to the home to run 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 crews came out to install the system. Together they installed crawl space support pillars underneath the beams to permanently stabilize the foundation. They also installed CleanSpace® water vapor barrier and sprayed polyurethane foam in the crawl space to waterproof the area.

Now that the crawl space has been repaired, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

This 1987 home in Wrenshall, MN began having issues with condensation and water build-up in their attic. The owners knew were considering moving if they couldn't find a permanent solution to the issues this was causing in the rest of their home. Luckily, they contacted us for advice after hearing about in their local newspaper.

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate, looking at insulation solutions for both the attic. Our team first removed the existing batt insulation and prepped the attic space for an application of our TruSoft™ cellulose. They also built a scuttle cover to properly seal the attic access using TerraBlock™ foam insulation.

This home is now properly insulated and the homeowners were happy with the work done. 

When this customer first experienced foundation problems they had a home-made solution that had not helped to permanently stabilize or straighten the wall. We used Geo-Lock anchors to stabilize the wall and straighten it over time. The first photo is mid-way through the project. After another anchor was added and both were tightened, the large crack in the wall closed up.
