Concrete Sidewalk Lift in Minneapolis, MN

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. 

Upgrading Attic Insulation in Minneapolis to Prevent Pests and Enhance Energy Efficiency

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.

Saint Louis Park, MN Garage Restored with Foundation Support and Concrete Repair

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.

Transforming Basement Efficiency in Minneapolis with Spray Foam Insulation

When our Minneapolis homeowner noticed their basement was dull and inefficient, they turned to us for a reliable solution. As seen in the before photo, inadequate insulation was a major concern, negatively impacting the home's energy efficiency. Our team stepped in with spray foam insulation, transforming the space into a bright, energy-efficient area, as illustrated in the after photo. Our commitment to enhancing home environments ensured a lasting solution, significantly improving their home's insulation and overall energy efficiency.
