DBS Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Minneapolis, MN wanted to encapsulate their crawlspace to improve comfort in the wintertime. They are preparing to sell the home and want to fix the energy issues and provide a healthy, safe, and comfortable home for a prospective owner in the future. Their cold, drafty floors were a result of an under-insulated crawlspace. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer is a Design Specialist for our Dr. Energy Saver® service. He visited the home to provide a thorough inspection and solution for the home. He designed a plan that included removing the old insulation and installing our full encapsulation system; first drainage matting, next crawlspace insulation, and finally, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier.

Foreman Zach Jorenby led the install of this crawl space encapsulation project. DBS Insulation Foreman Nick Woods II completed the spray foam portion of the crawl space. 

Homeowners in Minneapolis, MN wanted to increase their overall comfort and save energy. They knew their attic insulation wasn't efficient and called DBS to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. 

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided an estimate for the attic re-insulation project. He designed a custom plan that involved removing the existing insulation, air sealing the attic, and adding new cellulose insulation. 

DBS Foreman Nick Woods II led the install of this attic insulation project. After removing the insulation, the crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the attic deck, sealing gaps, cracks, and holes. From there, they installed TruSoft cellulose. This lightweight, yet dense insulation is made from recycled newspapers and coated with a non-toxic formula that is resistant to pests and fire. 

After a successful attic insulation like this one, the homeowners should expect increased comfort and reduced energy bills. 

This homeowner reached out to DBS after noticing their concrete slab near the stoop was once becoming a prominent trip hazard. We understood how important it was to provide not just a quick fix but a lasting solution. With PolyLevel's® innovative lifting technique, we raised the slab back to its original position, ensuring it was level and stable. To seal the deal, NexusPro® was used to fill the cracks, marrying durability with aesthetics. The transformation is not just about meeting but exceeding expectations, ensuring the homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind and a safer, more beautiful entryway. 

When the homeowner first reached out to us, they were alarmed to find unwelcome visitors in their attic, revealing a serious insulation problem, as shown in the 'before' photo. Our solution was to install SilverGlo™ and Tru-Soft™ cellulose, a cutting-edge insulation upgrade that is evident in the 'after' photo. This improvement not only prevented future pest intrusions but also greatly enhanced the home's energy efficiency, creating a more comfortable and secure living space. At DBS, we transformed this Minneapolis home, providing peace of mind with dependable, long-lasting results.

This homeowner in Saint Louis Park, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing the failing foundation wall in their garage. Built in 1995, the block foundation began shifting, prompting the concrete slab to crack as well. Wanting to avoid further damage to protect the integrity of the home for years to come, they contacted DBS.

Our Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner's project. It was determined that both foundation repair and concrete support systems were needed to provide a permanent solution going forward.

DBS Foreman Jose Valenzuela and crew excavated the exterior of the home in order to perform a lift procedure. Our team installed 7 push piers total at the base of the home on the exterior of the home. These galvanized steel piers were then hydraulicaly driven into the ground to weight-bearing soils. The weight of the home was then transferred to the competent soil.

After this was completed, our concrete repair team came in to fill gaps and voids beneath the garage slab with PolyLevel®. Once the slab was lifted and leveled, our team installed NexusPro™ to seal and protect the cracks in the concrete. 

The homeowners can now rest easy knowing their home's garage is protected from further foundation damage.
