DBS Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN homeowner called DBS to set up a free, no-obligation estimate for her crawl space concerns. Their cabin had a lot of standing water in the crawlspace. The homeowner noticed that the floors started to sag and moisture was creeping into their living spaces. Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited this cabin and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. All excess organic material was removed and dirt was leveled under the foundation of the cabin. The foundation was then stabilized using Helical Piers. Next CleanSpace® was installed to keep moisture out permanently. The homeowners now enjoy a safe, permanently stable and clean cabin and crawlspace. 

The owner of this home in Angora, MN reached out to us looking for help with their wet basement.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our Basement Waterproofing Service.

One of our Foremen led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed our WaterGuard® french drain system around the interior perimeter of the basement.

Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind from water in their basement!

Facing a daunting challenge, this home in Angora, MN, presented us with severely cracked and bowing basement walls, a distress signal of foundational distress. Notice in the before photo how the integrity of the structure was compromised. Our solution: the GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System, a tailor-made innovation for such formidable problems. The after photo splendidly showcases the transformation – walls realigned and stabilized, promising safety and tranquility for years to come. Through this project, we reaffirmed our commitment to offering remarkable customer experiences and enduring solutions.

This home just outside the city of Gilbert had gone without care for some time and the current owner now wishes to restore it to its original glory of when it was their family home. Among the first steps in this process was to re-stabilize the foundation. After years of temporary fixes on the foundation, it was time to install a permanent solution that supported the whole home without need for wood shims, additional bottle jacks, or a newly constructed foundation. By using a combination of helical piers and steel beams we created a solution custom fit to the home that provides even support across the whole home.

This Duluth, MN homeowner was in the process of selling his home. The inspection found that one of the home's foundation walls had become unstable. The homeowner called the experts at DBS to come out and assess the foundation problems the inspector had found. System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn, made the visit to this customer's home and was able to find a quality solution. Shortly after, Foreman, Casey Healey, and his crew began work on installing Powerbraces to help stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. This homeowner was so relieved to have the wall stabilized and have the sale of his home go through.
