Our Design Specialists are ready to visit your home and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for your basement finishing project. They create custom designs with your basement plan in mind. From there, DBS has a team of expert carpenters who install our products, completing base electrical; installing outlets, switches, jacks, lighting, and other finishes. 

Our EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels have SilverGlo™ insulation, are 197% stronger than drywall, and were designed to be easily removed and reinstalled, if ever a water leak were to occur in your basement. Organic materials, drywall, and fiberglass-based products, on the other hand, have to be ripped out and replaced if moisture occurs.

This homeowner in South Range, WI was experiencing uncomfortable conditions in their home for years. After meeting us at the Duluth Home Show, the decided to tackle their unsealed crawl space. Water was pooling in the space causing humid air to enter the home in the summer months and cold air during winter months. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for a total crawl space encapsulation. After the inspection, he recommended a bit of supplemental support to address some sinking, as well as CleanSpace® vapor barrier as well as sump pump in the space to tackle the water issues.

DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg used our TerraBlock™ foam insulation to insulate the walls and rim joists, and finished the job by sealing everything in a layer of closed-cell spray foam. These two insulations will work together to keep moisture and cold air from penetrating the rest of the home.

From there, Foreman Taylor Allen and his crew completed the crawl space encapsulation. The team installed 3 SmartJack® support beams to address the sinking ceiling. They then put down a drainage matting, followed by our ultra durable CleanSpace® vapor barrier, and a Triple Safe™ sump pump. This crawl space drainage system is specially designed for crawl spaces and was connected to two discharge lines that will carry the water up and out of the home. 

Longtime owners of this family cabin in Sandstone, WI were concerned over noticeable sinking and settling. Sagging support beams were causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. 

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the crawl space. It was determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling.

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew installed 24 feet of supplemental support beam, as well as 4 Smart Jack® support beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. 

After the support work, our crawl space encapsulation crew also installed a vapor barrier to protect the cabin's infrastructure from water and rot damage in the future.

This family can now rest easy knowing their favorite retreat is protected for years to come.

A Gilbert, MN homeowner was in need of a solution to curb high energy bills. They were using a whopping 400 gallons of propane monthly to heat their home throughout the winter. In order to gain insight on a more sustainable solution for year-round living, they contacted DBS.

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for our insulation services. Henry determined that adding our Tru-Soft™ cellulose would provide tremendous support in the home's radiant barrier. 

Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his crew production crew drilled holes into the drywall in several areas throughout the home to prep for dense packing. Once the insulation was blown into place, our crews add a temporary patch to be replaced with a more permanent wall patch by the homeowner.

Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation is fire-resistant and has an R-value much higher than fiberglass, and most rigid foam insulations. This homeowner was thrilled with the work done to improve conditions in their home and lower their sky-high heating bills. 

These homeowners in Plymouth, MN reached out to DBS for help keeping their basement dry. Their existing sump pump was not functioning properly, causing it to run constanly, and emit a musty odor into the air.

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Rich recommended installing a new discharge line to carry water to the exterior of the home, as well as a new UltraSump™ sump pump. The UltraSump™ 4 removes up to 12,000 gallons of water on a single charge, keeping your home dry and protected until you're able to get your primary pump running again.

We also installed our SaniDry™ XP dehumidifcation system that filters musty basement air, and directs the moisture to the new sump pump. These systems work together to collect and remove water in leaky basements. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby, and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
