Waterproofing and Stabilization in Duluth, MN

These Duluth homeowners reached out to DBS for waterproofing and wall stabilization after being referred by a friend.


Design Specialist Royce Bunn visited the home, assessed the problem, and created a solution for the unwanted water and failing walls. WaterGuard® and our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump were recommended to make sure the basement stays dry all year long. To permanently stabilize the walls our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was installed along the perimeter of the basement. Foreman Kevin Steffey and his crew successfully installed the products.


The homeowners now enjoy a safe, stable and dry basement!

 

Historic Church in Duluth, MN Has Dirty Crawl Space Encapsulated

A church in Duluth, MN had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. Concerned about how this was affecting the humidity and temperature was affecting the rest of the building, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the space 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 toward the 5 SmartDrain® outlets installed in the crawl space.

TerraBlock™ insulation and closed-cell spray foam was applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. 

The DBS Foreman and production crew installed these products, protecting the building from mold and structural threats in the future.
