DBS Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Esko, MN had prior work done by DBS and wanted to remedy their issue with the uneven and shifting concrete in their garage. Knowing that the concrete settlement would only get worse over time, causing tripping hazards, and potential water issues, they asked DBS for a permanent solution.

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. To lift and level the concrete PolyLevel® was recommended. The DBS foreman and production crew successfully installed the PolyLevel® to level the concrete and sealed the large cracks.

This garage now has a safe, level and stable driveway to enjoy all year long! 

Before addressing this chilly issue in Esko, MN, the homeowner was dealing with skyrocketing electric bills due to inadequate insulation in the attic, as shown in the 'before' photo. We removed the old, ineffective insulation and replaced it with TruSoft™ Cellulose, our high-quality, eco-friendly solution. In the 'after' photo, you can see how thoroughly our team insulated and sealed the attic, ensuring a more comfortable, energy-efficient home. Now, the homeowner enjoys lower electric bills and a much warmer living space.

This homeowner in Esko, MN reached out to DBS for help with wall stabilization. The block foundation in the basement was experiencing horizontal and stair-step cracks, causing instability to the structure. The homeowner wanted to reinforce the stability and straighten the wall. 

Design Specialist Jacob Nustad assisted this homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate to help find the best solution for the home. After careful inspection, Jacob recommended the homeowner install a GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System, as well as, a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project, along with a team. The team worked together to install 5 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors and 2 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The GeoLock™ systems connect steel plates inside the home to earth anchors outside of the home. By adjusting the connection, the wall can be moved and repositioned back into place. The PowerBrace™ beams are connected to the rim joists and also allow for stabilization. These beams are adjusted overtime to keep the wall from settling any further and to move the walls back to their original positions. 

Having both of these systems supporting the home, this homeowner will have nothing to worry about when it comes to stabilization.
