A homeowner in Canyon, MN reached out to DBS when they observed ice dams forming on their roof, causing them to worry about their home's well-being. They wanted to prevent damage and find a permanent solution for their home. Our Design Specialist went out to the property to do a free, no-obligation estimate to determine the best solution for the homeowner. After the inspection, our Design Specialist recommended our SprayFoam and cellulose insulation solution.
Our Foreman, Nicholas Woods led the installation of this project with help from a team. The crew began by removing the old insulation and debris. Then they began the insulation process with the first layer of SprayFoam insulation since it also acts as an air sealant and a moisture barrier. Cellulose insulation is then blown into the space to help create a lasting and effective solution. Now this homeowner can relax in their healthy home!

In Canyon, MN, we faced a homeowner's basement that spoke volumes with its need for structural integrity. Wanting to transition the space into a finished concept, the obstacle was clear in our before photo – an unsupported, precarious main beam. Enter our solution: the PowerBrace system. Designed for robust, lasting support, we redefined what stability means, evidenced in our after photo. Notice the secured beam, an embodiment of safety, ensuring our homeowner can now confidently pursue their basement's transformation.
The owner of this home in Tower, MN was having issues with keeping their crawl space dry. There was water seeping through the concrete walls and it was causing water damage on the floors. Concerned about the integrity of their belongings in the crawl space if the issue was left unfixed, the owner called DBS.
Director of Sales & Service Royce Bunn went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue for the owner. After the inspection, Royce informed the owner that DBS had a waterproofing solution that would help keep their basement drier.
A DBS Foreman was sent out to the property along with a crew in order to install the waterproofing system. The system is composed of drains that are installed around the perimeter of the crawlspace by jackhammering a trench for the patented WaterGuard® drain system. WaterGuard® drains collect water running down from the walls and any water leaking up through the footings around the foundation and drops the water into an UltraSump™. The UltraSump™ then drives the water up and away from the foundation and if the power were to fail, a backup battery would kick in with the ability to remove up to 12,000 gallons before dying.
Now that the crawl space has been properly waterproofed, the homeowner can have peace of mind. They can relax comfortably in their home knowing that their crawl space will stay drier and promote healthier conditions while ensuring their belongings are safe.
The owner of this home reached out to us looking for a solution to their sinking support pillars.
Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James created a quote for our pier system.
A DBS foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed piers beneath each of the pillars to permanently stabilize the foundation.
If the support pillars on your home are sinking into the ground, reach out to us for help and gain peace of mind as this homeowner did.
