DBS Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Maple Grove, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their failing foundation walls. When DBS arrived the foundation walls of this home were cracked and bowing. This problem will not get better with time, but it will get better with us!

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home several GeoLock™ earth anchors were recommended to stabilize the failing partially underground walls. GeoLock™ anchors are installed with a 25-year nationally backed warranty. Our DBS Foreman worked hard with their production crews to install the stabilization system. 

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable.

We turned a sinking problem into solid ground for this Osseo, MN homeowner. Notice in the before photo how the front sidewalk had dipped about 2-3 inches, a troubling sight for any homeowner concerned about property value and safety. Drawing on neighbors' positive experiences, they sought our expertise. With the help of our Foreman, Nate, and Co-Foreman Weston, they used our PolyLevel® and NexusPro® to lift and level the uneven slabs and also sealed the visible cracks and joints, as seen in the after photo. Our goal was not just fixing the surface but ensuring lasting peace of mind and preserving their home’s integrity.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed dimpled drainage matting in the crawl space to help provide a water barrier that would help assist the flow of water without causing puddles. Then they laid panels of TerraBlock™ insulation over the drainage matting to prevent frost build-up. Finally, they finished the encapsulation by installing a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier.

Now that the crawl space has been properly encapsulated, the homeowner will notice that their floors are much warmer and the musty smell has faded.
