DBS Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Proctor, MN wanted to address the sinking and sagging floors in their home. They were worried the floor might collapse, so they reached out to DBS for a professional, permanent solution. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the best solution for the home's needs. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended our SmartJack® Support System.

Foreman Fred Bozvay led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used these jack systems to evenly support and distribute the weight of the structure. Once stabilized, the jacks can be adjusted to lift the floor above back to a level, even position.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is stable and supported. 

A Proctor, MN homeowner was sick of anticipating water and mold in their basement each year, so she contacted DBS to find a permanent solution! One of our design specialists visited the house to provide a free, no-obligation, estimate. They ultimately concluded that adding a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a CleanSpace wall poly system was the best course of action.

One of our foremen led his group in this installation. The team started by removing concrete spots from the house's interior perimeter. Then, to permanently address flooding, they installed our sub-floor drainage system. This led to the homeowner feeling confident their basement will be dry moving forward!

Recently in Duluth, MN, we had the privilege of helping the Proctor Speedway, which was struggling with settled slab areas on their property which had become a significant trip hazard. Understanding the importance of safety, especially considering potential hazards for employees navigating the area, they knew it was time to take action and reached out to us at DBS for help. Our Design Specialist, Jake Thomas, did a thorough examination and recommended our concrete lifting and leveling service for a comprehensive solution using our PolyLevel, NexusPro, SealantPro, and DecoShield products. These products together were aimed at not only fixing the uneven slab but also protecting the concrete for years to come. Our production team, consisting of our Foreman Dakota and Ben and Co-Foreman Ben, got to work. First, our PolyLevel® was used to gently lift and level the sunken sections of concrete to make the surface even and safe. Following the leveling, NexusPro® was applied to seal cracks and joints, preventing any water infiltration that can lead to further issues. SealantPro® provided an additional layer of protection by sealing the concrete surface against stains and deterioration. Lastly, our DecoShield® product added an aesthetic touch while enhancing the concrete's resistance to UV light, fading, and abrasion. Upon completion of the project, the transformation was clear. Not only was the owner thrilled to see the trip hazard removed, but they also appreciated how the solutions we provided would extend the life of their concrete surfaces and keep them looking new for years to come.
