The owner of this cabin in Palisade, MN wanted to stop worrying about pipes freezing underneath in the wintertime when they are not there. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Designs Specialist went out to the cabin to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After the inspection, they generated a free quote for the cabin owner for SilverGlo™ insulation panels.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed the SilverGlo™ panels on the vertical walls of the crawl space and air sealed the area with ZypFoam™. The panels are made of graphite-infused rigid foam insulation that will prevent frost from reaching the foundation footings.

Now that the crawl space has been properly stabilized, the cabin owner can have peace of mind without having to worry about their piped freezing in the winter.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the cabin to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a thorough inspection, they generated a quote for our helical cabin piering system to solve their foundation issues.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed 5 helical piers to provide permanent stabilization to the cabin. Each pier bears more than the weight of the structure when installed. Once they are driven into the ground, they will never experience more than the weight of the structure, ensuring that they will provide proper support.

Now that the cabin has been stabilized, the owners and new owners can relax more comfortably knowing that the issue has been resolved.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James recommended our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 15 PowerBrace™ i-beams along the basement walls. Each PowerBrace™ is affixed to the rim joists of the home with a steel bracket and bolted to the concrete slab to ensure permanent stabilization. The system is backed with a 75-year transferrable warranty against movement.

Now that the home has been stabilized, the homeowners will be able to share the new property with their guests without needing to worry about their safety.
