DBS Before & After Photos

Owners of this 100-year-old home in Duluth, MN were having issues with water and pests entering their basement. Knowing the water was most likely due to foundation issues, they reached out to DBS in search of a permanent solution. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and completed a thorough inspection. He determined that both waterproofing and foundation support systems were necessary. Breaking this project up into several small jobs, our crews installed CarbonArmor®, SmartJack®, and PowerBraces™ to stop foundation movement and restore the foundation wall positions where possible. On the waterproofing side, this home received a new WaterGuard® drain, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and spray foam to seal the space around the basement rim joists. 

This home is now safe, water-free, and supported!

Duluth, MN homeowners had worked with DBS for waterproofing their home and now they needed help  insulating. Their great room has a tall cathedral ceiling and large windows with a beautiful vista. In order to enjoy that space year-round, they knew they needed a permanent solution to keep it comfortable.

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Our production crew installed 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam to insulate the great room as well as a few other rim joists in the rest of the home. 

This new spray foam insulation will assist in minimal air leakage and lower energy bills.

Our production crew installed 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam to seal and insulate the structure. Spray foam expands after its applied, reaching tight spaces and filling gaps where air could escape.

After living in their home for over 30 years, these Duluth, MN homeowners were looking to sell their home and relocate. They knew they needed to repair their concrete slab before passing it along to the new owners. Hoping to solve the cracking and fix the tripping hazards, they reached out to DBS after learning about us on local television.

DBS Design Specialist Ericka Boyum visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. To lift and level the concrete, PolyLevel® was recommended. DBS Foreman Dustin Behning and his production crew successfully installed and leveled the slab and sidewalk using PolyLevel® and sealed the cracks using NexusPro™.

These homeowners now have a safe, stable, and level sidewalk that will last for years to come for the new owners.
