DBS Before & After Photos

A homeowner near Britt, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their bowing basement walls. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our EverBrace™ System. One of our crews installed the EverBrace™ System along the walls to provide permanent stability to the home, providing the homeowner with peace of mind!

This Britt, MN home was built in 2005 but unfortunately, the foundation walls in the basement were beginning to crack. Over time, soil pressure had caused its foundation walls to crack and bow. The homeowners lived in the space for about 4 years before discovering the issue when water began to leak in from the cracked and bowed block walls. 

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the work. After visiting the home, Nathan recommended the installation of a waterproofing and foundation repair system to fully protect the home. 

Because this home had multiple home repair needs, it was broken up into 2 projects. Our highly-trained installers from both foundation support and waterproofing visited the home to complete the repair in their area of expertise. 

DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his crew installed the full waterproofing system in this basement. It consists of a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to stop water and a WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system to drain water. These two products connect to a new SingleSafe™ sump pump that will keep water out of the home for good.

DBS Foreman Nick Burley and crew installed 4 PowerBrace™ wall support beams to stabilize the walls and prevent any further movement. These galvanized steel I-beams will be tightened over time with the goal of restoring the wall to its original position. 

The homeowners can now rest easy knowing their home is healthy, safe, and comfortable!

Before, this crawlspace in Britt, MN, was a waterlogged worry, too daunting and damp for homeowners to tackle, depicted in the photo's grim reality. Floods forced the use of fans and shop vacs—a temporary fix for a persistent problem. Now, notice in the after photo, a transformation to a dry, inviting space. Through installing a SaniDry™ Sedona for efficient dehumidification, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to lock out moisture, IceGuard® to prevent sump pump discharge line freezes, and a SingleSafe™ Sump Pump for unbeatable water evacuation, we've turned dread into delight. Our solution offers peace of mind, ensuring a sturdy defense against moisture, with an aim, always, to provide a remarkable customer experience and lasting relief from home water woes.

This home was experiencing severe foundation issues and required support at the base of the foundation throughout the home. This pair of images shows what our Push Piers look like when they have been installed on a home. The bracket you see above ground connects the home to a steel pier which has been driven deep into the earth to provide a good base of support for the home. With Push Piers adjustments are made to ensure a proper amount of support for the home prior to backfilling the area once again.
