DBS Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Duluth, MN live on Park Point, a narrow strip of land that has Lake Superior on one side and the St. Louis Bay on the other. But being surrounded by water comes with its challenges. Concerned over water consistenly leaking in the basement, these homeowners knew they needed more protection for their home. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen is our expert in waterproofing and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. He proposed our WaterGuard® IOS system that is specifically designed to deal with iron ochre, a living bacteria that is common in Park Point ground water and is known for severely clogging drain systems. 

A DBS foreman and crew installed a full WaterGuard® system, that sits flush with the floor and is completely hidden, directing all water to the home's existing sump pump and a new exterior drainage line. This was combined with CleanSpace® wall poly that will ensure that if moisture collects on the foundation wall, that it will be directed to the drain system and further to a new SuperSump® sump pump.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!

Townhome owners in Duluth, MN are in the process of permanently re-locating to Duluth year-round but noticed the first winter that the space wasn't properly insulated. Specifically, their lower level was much colder than the upper level. Looking for year-round comfort, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the insulation work. Because the space shares walls with another unit, our production crew drilled holes into the drywall and dense-packed it with our ultra-dense Tru-Soft™ cellulose. This insulation is fire-resistant and has an R-value much higher than fiberglass, and most rigid foam insulations. We also seal the gaps and cracks in the utility room and side of the home that is exposed to the elements. 

These homeowners can now equipped to living in Duluth year-round and maintaining a high level of comfort!
