DBS Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Virginia built this new garage on their property that they were in the process of finishing. In order to enjoy that space year-round, they knew they needed a permanent solution to keep it comfortable.

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Foreman Orrin Sundberg and his production crew installed 3 inches of closed-cell spray foam to seal and insulate the structure. Spray foam expands after its applied, reaching tight spaces and filling gaps where air could escape.

Both the garage level and room above it are now completely sealed and insulated. These homeowners can now enjoy a comfortable garage space year-round!

A Hoyt Lakes, MN homeowner moved into this home in 2018. They noticed issues with the foundation's ability to keep out water - it was leaking from cracks in the foundation on three sides. After doing some research on our website, they decided to tackle their water troubles with DBS. 

Our Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner's project. It was determined that both waterproofing and foundation support systems were needed to provide a permanent solution going forward.

DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and crew worked on the basement waterproofing job. The crew began by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively capture wall and floor seepage, directing it to a new TripleSafe™ sump pump. The crew finished the job by burying the discharge line in the lawn, direction water away from the home. 

DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew then performed the foundation support work. They installed a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, attaching steel I-beams to the concrete floor and the basement rim joists. This PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightened over time, in order to restore the walls to their original position. The PowerBrace™ beams are zinc-plated and backed with a 75-year warranty against movement.

This homeowner can now rest easy knowing their home is protected going forward.
