Before & After Photos

When large walls in common spaces are under-insulated it can result in major heat loss in the home. Especially when paired with large windows it is important to retain as much heat as possible to create a comfortable living environment. This customer's entire wall needed to be re-insulated using spray foam insulation which provides the highest r-value in tight spaces and has additional air sealing properties. This large wall is now an asset in this customer's home, retaining heat for a comfortable space and making the property more energy efficient. 

This is a great example of how the use of PowerBraces™ can help straighten and strengthen a wall over time. System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn visited this home and proposed the use of six PowerBraces™ to fix the bowing wall. The homeowner had tried various other solutions over the years to fix the bowing wall, but nothing had helped. They even had another foundation wall installed to help fix the bowing exterior wall. The homeowner now rests easy as the experts at DBS have found a permanent solution to fix this problem. 

In Two Harbors, MN, a homeowner reached out to DBS regarding their failing foundation wall. When old block walls start to wear down, they cancrack and bow, which may be damaging to the overall structure of the home. Luckily, a crew was able to go to the residence and install the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System for foundation support. This before and after set displays on of the block walls in need of stabilization, and the CarbonArmor® strips are optimal in doing so. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable environment. 

These homeowners in Hermantown, MN reached out to DBS for help with insulating their crawl space. This crawl space was freezing during winter months which put pipes at risk of freezing. 

Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. SilverGlo™ insulation was recommended to insulate this crawl space with closed cell spray foam along the rim joists. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew successfully installed the products. 

This crawl space is now properly insulated and will not freeze during our harsh Minnesota winters!

This homeowner in Two Harbors, MN had been experiencing uncomfortable conditions in their home for years. An unsealed crawl space beneath the home was pooling with water, causing humid air to enter the home in the summer months and cold air during winter months. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for a total crawl space encapsulation. After the inspection, he recommended a CleanSpace® vapor barrier as well as sump pump in the space.

DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the foreman on the job. He and his production crew excavated a layer of soil in the crawl space before installing our encapsulation system. This consisted of drainage matting, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a SmartSump™ sump pump. This crawl space drainage system is specially designed for crawl spaces. It has a lower profile than other pump packages, making installation in tight quarters easier.
