DBS Before & After Photos

Check out this basement waterproofing project we did for a homeowner in Duluth, MN! The homeowner struggled to keep their basement dry so our crew installed our Basement Waterproofing system to provide peace of mind to the homeowner.

Owners of this Duluth, MN home dreamt of making improvements and remodeling. With some signs of foundation settling and a wet crawl space, they knew they needed to improve the conditions beneath their home first.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the project. He assessed the structural concerns, as well as the wet and musty crawl space. He worked with the homeowners to design a plan that would increase their year-round comfort and maintain their property value for years to come. 

DBS Foreman Nick Burley lead this crawl space project. He and his team completely removed the debris and excavated dirt beneath the space and added some gravel back to encourage better drainage in the space. From there, they installed our 3-layer system for crawl space encapsulation. First, drainage matting to eliminate moisture buildup, TerraBlock™ crawl space insulation, and CleanSpace® vapor barrier. These three products work together to fully protect the crawl space and condition spaces around them from the effects of cold air and moisture. 

To correct the structural issues, they installed 26 total SmartJack® support beams in order to restore the home to a level position.

From there, DBS Foreman Nick Woods II and his insulation crew sealed the crawl space vertical walls, from the floor to the rim joists with closed cell spray foam. This will stop airflow and prevent moisture from entering the space. 

The owner of this home in Duluth, MN wanted a solution to decrease moisture in their home radiating from the crawl space.

One of our Design Specialists went 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 crawl space waterproofing products.

One of our crews came to install the solutions. First, they installed CleanSpace® water vapor barrier to thoroughly waterproof the area, it will also provide some insulation to the space as well. Then they sprayed polyurethane foam insulation along the rim joists and vertical walls to air-seal the space.

Now that the crawl space has been waterproofed, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind in a healthy, safe, and comfortable home.

This attic was severely lacking insulation. We have many different solutions for this problem and in this situation the customer chose to go with our blow-in insulation. This home is now much less affected by the temperature of the attic which can be unbearably hot in the summer and incredibly cold in the winter.
