DBS Before & After Photos

Recently in Saint Paul, MN, a homeowner's garage, a central hub for car repairs, work, and parties, faced foundational issues, risking its safety and functionality. As you can see in the before photo, noticeable tilting and cracking signaled urgent need for repair. We stepped in to secure its future. Installing Push Piers, showcased in the after photo, we brought stability and peace of mind back to this valued space. With DBS, the foundation is set for more memories, secure and sound.

The exterior of this Saint Paul home revealed significant foundation issues, with visible damage to the porch that posed a threat to the rest of the house. At DBS, we knew that immediate action was necessary to prevent further damage. As seen in the 'before' photo, the porch was showing signs of instability. In the 'after' photo, our solution is clear. We installed SmartJack® supports, a main beam, and helical piers to stabilize the porch and protect the home’s foundation from additional harm. These enhancements not only secured the porch but also ensured the overall stability of the structure. With our dedication to long-term solutions and outstanding customer service, this Saint Paul home is now safeguarded against future foundation issues.

A homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, recently realized that their clean basement required a waterproofing solution for true peace of mind. Despite its tidy appearance, the 'before' photo reveals potential for water damage. After reaching out to us, we installed our premium WaterGuard® system, IceGuard®, and a DoubleSafe™ Sump Pump, transforming the space into a fully protected basement, as shown in the 'after' photo. Our solutions provide a reliable defense, ensuring a long-lasting, dry environment for homeowners to enjoy.

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN wanted to address the insulation problem in their basement. The space was continuously too hot or too cold depending on the season, making it unusable.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the owner by conducting a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended the installation of SprayFoam insulation. 

Foreman Brain Whiting led the installation of this project with help from a team. First, the team used the SprayFoam insulation to air seal any cracks or holes in the walls that may be allowing unwanted airflow to enter or exit the home. After air sealing, they installed the insulation across the entirety of the wall to create the insulation barrier, as well as a moisture barrier.

This homeowner can now relax in their temperature appropriate home.
