DBS Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Mountain Iron, MN was unhappy with the insufficient insulation in the attic of their home. The home was suffering from ice dams, so they reached out to DBS for help.

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a close, in-person inspection, our SprayFoam and cellulose insulation solutions were recommended.

Foreman Nicholas Woods led the installation of this project with help from a team. The crew began by removing the old insulation and debris. SprayFoam is then used as the first layer of insulation because it also acts as an air sealant and a moisture barrier. Cellulose insulation is then blown into the space creating a lasting and effective solution.

This homeowner now relax in their healthy, ice dam-free home!

This homeowner in Mountain Iron, MN noticed that their concrete apron had sunk, and the sidewalk near their backdoor step was also uneven, creating an unsightly and potentially hazardous situation. Leveraging our state-of-the-art PolyLevel® and NexusPro® products, we not only lifted the sunken apron and sidewalk back to its original position but also ensured a seamless, durable fix that blends perfectly, as illustrated in the after photo. This transformation not only solved the present problem but also contributed to preventing further issues, showcasing our commitment to providing homeowners with a remarkable customer experience through reliable and long-lasting solutions.

Upon returning to his Saint Paul home, with intentions to settle down for good, the homeowner recognized the pressing need to address the sagging foundation depicted in the 'before' photo, especially with plans to refinish the basement.

We've implemented WaterGuard® for unparalleled drainage, IceGuard® to combat harsh Minnesota freezes, and CleanSpace® to ensure a dry environment.

Previously, this porch in Mountain Iron, MN became uncomfortably hot during the summer, making it difficult to enjoy on warm days. As shown in the before photo, the lack of proper insulation under the porch allowed heat to build up, making the space unbearably warm. To address this, we installed Closed Cell Spray Foam insulation, which works by creating a tight, air-sealed barrier. This helps to prevent heat from entering or escaping, keeping the porch cooler in the summer and more comfortable year-round. The after photo shows how the insulation now helps maintain a more pleasant temperature, turning the porch into a usable and enjoyable space again.

When the homeowner contacted us, they were dealing with a consistently damp basement that had become more of a hassle than just Ellen's sewing studio in Cornell, WI. Fed up with bailing out water and fighting against moisture and odors, they realized it was time for a change. The before photo clearly shows the issues—a space no one would want to use. After our intervention, as shown in the after photo, we've transformed the area using our effective WaterGuard® drainage system, DryTrak®, TripleSafe™ Sump Pump for exceptional water removal, IceGuard® to prevent winter clogs, and the SaniDry™ Sedona to maintain a dry, fresh atmosphere. Now, they enjoy a dry, comfortable, and functional space—reflecting our commitment to providing lasting solutions and outstanding customer experiences.
