DBS Before & After Photos

This Saint Paul, MN home was with a block foundation. At one point, a garage was added and attached to the home. The homeowner started noticing issues with the foundation shifting on one particular side of the garage. The soil was putting pressue on the wall, causing it to bow inwards. After doing some research on foundation repair, the homeowners contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair work. After we diagnosed the foundation issue, and came up with a custom-solution, our wall repair team got to work!

The project Foreman and crew installed 4 GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses the heavy-duty anchors in and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. 

The customer was happy with the work done and now has a permanent solution they can count on for years to come.

The owners of this home in Saint Paul, MN experienced issues with keeping their house warm. They would raise the heat but all they got in return was high energy bills. Looking for a solution, the owners contacted DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After evaluation, he suggested the owners have insulation dense-packed into their cathedral-style ceilings to help insulate their roof.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation for this project with help from his crew. Together they drilled holes in each bay of the ceiling to dense-pack blown-in Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation as the space in between the ceiling and roof was inaccessible. Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation is more efficient than fiber-glass because it retains heat better and is also treated in a borate solution to prevent pests and acts as a fire-retardant. To finish the job the team sealed off each injection site with ZypFoam™ to completely air seal the space.

Now that the home has been properly insulated, the homeowners can relax comfortably as they experience lower energy bills and a warmer household.
