DBS Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Superior, WI had a dirt crawl space that was prone to wetness. Concerned about how this was affecting the humidity and temperature in the rest of their home, they reached out to us about our Dr. Energy Saver services. 

A Design Specialist trained in energy-saving solutions, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was recommended that a CleanSpace® vapor barrier be laid over drainage matting. These two products work together to direct water away from the crawl space, preventing moisture and the growth of mold. Additionally, a SmartSump™ was put into place.

The DBS Foreman and production crew installed these products resulting in a great improvement of this home's overall health. 

Homeowners of this 1960's Superior, WI home noticed issues with their basement walls upon moving in. They were seeing continuous movement, worsening lately and were concerned that the walls would cave in.  In search of a permanent solution, they met DBS at the Duluth Home Show and  reached out to us to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a thorough inspection and estimate for the foundation support. It was determined that significant support was needed and our PowerBrace™ Wall Support system was the best option. A DBS foreman and crew installed 12 PowerBrace™ steel I-beams total, as well as a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System to diret all water up and out of the basement. 

Because the walls were bowing significantly, our crews needed to excavate soil on the outside of the home to restore the walls to their original position. The crew applied SentrySeal® and TerraBlock™ to give extra insulation and provide a waterproofing layer on the exterior wall.

The installation was successful and provided a solid solution to the leaking water and foundation cracks!

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property, Rich recommended installing our WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system to catch water entering from the walls. The new drainage system was connected to a TripleSafe™ sump pump with an IceGuard® spout attachment. This will allow water to drain from the home during freezing conditions. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew.
