DBS Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN was hoping to remodel their porch but did not want to worry about further foundation settlement ruining the project. Needing a professional and permanent solution, the owner trusted DBS to fix this settlement issue. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the location and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a close inspection, a quote was offered and our helical piering system was recommended.

A DBS Foreman led a team in the installation of the project. Together, the team used helical piers and drove them into the ground until they reached stable, native soil. The hydraulic pressure then travels upwards and pushes the foundation of the structure back up into its original position. 

This homeowner can now continue their renovation project without worrying about the stability of their home's foundation.

This homeowner reached out to DBS after noticing mold in the attic, a discovery that came as a shock after hearing a faint dripping sound during a recent temperature change. Upon investigating, they found extensive mold growth, suggesting that the issue had been developing unnoticed for quite some time. With no regular visits to the attic, the severity of the problem became apparent only during this impromptu check, leading to immediate concern about potential spread into the rest of the house. To tackle the mold and prevent further issues our Design Specialist, Justin, recommended our Mold-X™ and Attic Insulation services. This service is a comprehensive treatment plan that includes Mold-X™ which elements and prevents mold growth in the future, old fiberglass removal, spray foam insulation, and blown-in TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation for a new and safe attic. Once our production team led by our Foreman, Cody, went out to the property, they went out to the property and redid the whole attic, making the space more healthy and comfortable for years to come!

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, was concerned about keeping their crawlspace clean and insulated. Enter our CleanSpace© solution, visible in the transformations captured in these photos. Before, the crawl space seemed unsure and unwelcoming, but after a free, no-obligation inspection with Design Specialist Justin, our team, led by Foreman Cobi, got to work. They wrapped the area in CleanSpace©, providing a durable layer that assures the walls won't budge during her future home expansions, and SprayFoam©, a quality insulation. This project was a testament to our commitment to delivering long-lasting solutions, and ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

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.

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.
