DBS Before & After Photos

A homeowner in St. Paul got in touch with DBS intending to finish their basement, but they were aware of the water issue that needed to be addressed first. Fortunately, DBS specializes in both areas. One of our design specialists visited the residence, offering a free, no-obligation, estimate. For the waterproofing aspect of the project, they opted for our WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and the CleanSpace wall poly system. As for the Total Basement Finishing phase, the assessment indicated that the homeowner required EverLast vinyl-covered insulated wall panels, 6 panel primed doors, a RockWell egress window well, LED lights, a PVC access panel, a SaniDry Sedona humidifier, our comprehensive bathroom package, and Elite Plank Flooring. Now, the homeowner can enjoy an additional fully functional space within their home, all while being free from any water-related concerns.

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN was faced with a widening garage crack threatening to compromise the home's foundation. Our dedicated team at DBS stepped in to halt further damage. As you can see in the before photo, the gap had spanned alarming lengths, stirring legitimate concerns for the homeowner in Saint Paul, MN. They rightly worried about escalating repair costs and structural issues. Enter our solution: PolyLevel® and NexusPro®. The after photo captures the excellence of our work. The once-defiant crack now seamlessly repaired, promising durability and peace of mind to the homeowner. With DBS, what seemed a looming expense and headache transformed into a reinforced, stable basis for years to come. Through our mission to deliver unparalleled customer experiences, we not only mend structures but prevent future disrepair, ensuring a safe, secure home foundation without the need for costly replacements.

Dealing with a musty smell in your basement can be trickier than expected, just like our Saint Paul homeowner discovered. The before photo captures a neglected crawl space, untouched for decades, silently contributing to the discomfort. Understanding the need for a significant transformation, we brought in our magic wands: CleanSpace® and spray foam insulation. As you can observe in the after picture, these solutions not only revitalized the space but locked out the dampness, providing a persistent solution and a breath of fresh air above.

These Saint Paul, MN homeowners wanted to make better use of their basement. Living in an older house in Saint Paul, they were interested in our system because of its insulation and water resistant qualities. 

DBS Total Basement Finishing Design Specialist Denny Meintz visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the basement finishing project, keeping in mind the family's vision for the space.  It was determined that EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels would be installed along the perimeter in the basement, along with MillCreek Flooring™, and recessed lighting.

A DBS Carpenter and crew successfully performed some demolition, and provided additional insulation by using spray foam on the basement rim joists. They then installed the products mentioned above, completing base electrical, and installing outlets, switches, and jacks. The homeowners also opted to go for a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier in the space to keep relative humidity at a comfortable level in the space.

This family now has a beautiful, custom addition to their home to enjoy!

The owner of this home in New Brighton, MN noticed that their house was settling near one of the corners causing cracks in the wall and sloping floors. They were worried about the issue growing worse, so they decided to reach out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After a thorough inspection, they generated a quote for our push pier foundation stabilization system.

Foreman George Barry led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 4 push piers under the footings of the home to permanently stabilize the structure.

The homeowner will be able to relax much more comfortably without worrying about their foundation sinking further into the soil.
