DBS Before & After Photos

This homeowner reached out to DBS after having multiple problems with their foundation settling, which was causing uneven floors within the home. Our Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation, estimate and recommended our EverBrace support system to help stabilize and lift the floors.

Once our crew was at the property, they were able to install the new EverBrace support brace and the customer was very happy with the results!

The owner of this home in St. Croix Falls, WI reached out to DBS looking for help with bowing basement walls.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Rich recommended our PowerBrace® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 14 PowerBrace® i-beams along the basement walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Each i-beam is bolted to the slab of the basement and secured to the rim joists of the home. At the top of each i-beam is a bracket that can be tightened during dry months in an attempt to move the wall back to its original position.

Now that the basement walls have been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

In Spring Valley, WI, a homeowner dreamed of a finished basement but faced a major hurdle: water infiltration. As shown in the 'before' photo, the persistent moisture risked turning her dream into a moldy nightmare. That's where we stepped in! Notice in the 'after' photo, the presence of our TripleSafe© Sump Pump, a game-changer in basement waterproofing. This state-of-the-art system now safely diverts water away, ensuring a dry, inviting space ready for transformation. Trust us to turn water woes into wow moments.

This Finlayson, MN home was built in the 1930's. With a rock foundation and a cement floor, it was prone to taking on water. The owner wanted to fix the water issues for an overall safer and more usuable basement.

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen is an expert in basement waterproofing and visited the home to provide a thorough inspection. It was determined that drain tile would be installed as well as a new sump pump to protect the basement against water intrusion.

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his crew worked on the interior waterproofing job. The crew began by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage, directing it to a new UltraSump™ sump pump with battery back-up. CleanSpace®, a thick, white poly sheet material was then installed to direct any water leaking from the walls into the drain system below.  CleanSpace® makes an excellent covering for basement foundation walls. The crew finished the job by burying the discharge line in the lawn away from the home. 

This family can now rest easy knowing their basement has the utmost protection in waterproofing technology.

The owner of this home in Finlayson, MN had just purchased the property and wanted to take care of the foundation issues as it is a rental property. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James generated a quote for our push pier system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 8 push piers beneath the foundation of the home. Push piers work to lift and level homes from their settled state by being pushed into the ground with heavy machinery until they are secured in stable soil. During installation, the push piers experience massive loads while being installed-- heavier than the structure-- to ensure that once installed, they will not fail.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
