DBS Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Duluth, MN needed an upgrade to their current sump pump system. Via a referral from a friend, they reached out to DBS for a new solution.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home for a free, no-obligation estimate. He provided a thorough inspection of the home's basement, targeting causes of excess moisture. He then presented his recommendations for a solution. 

The homeowners decided to invest in a new TripleSafe™ sump pump. This sump pump system keeps your basement dry with triple the protection. Most sump systems because of either a failed pump, a pump that can't handle high volumes of water, or power failure. The TripleSafe™ assures protection from all three sump pump problems.

The production crew removed the old pump, installed the new one and connected it to a new discharge line that would remove water, taking it up and out of the home. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a dry basement they can depend on! 

This Duluth, MN home had an attic that was finished and converted to living space. Unfortunately, it was not effectively insulated and was proving to be uncomfortable in both extreme winter and summer conditions. Looking to for an insulation solution to fix this problem, the homeowners reached out to DBS.

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the property and conducting an energy audit, it was determined that proper air sealing and a combination of spray foam and rigid foam insulation were necessary to effectively seal the space.

Our production crew first sealed the gaps in building material and spaces surrounding the attic ducts with ZypFoam™. They then laid down TerraBlock™, our foam insulation that is infused with graphite for a higher R-value. From there, they completely sealed the space with closed-cell spray foam, at 3-5 inches depending on the location in the attic. 

Sealing the attic was key to prevent warm air from escaping the home, and improving the overall energy health of the space. 

Homeowners in Duluth, MN added a sauna building when they purchased their home 10 years ago. They noticed the floor began to slope to one side, causing water to pool in the sauna's changing area instead of reaching the floor drain. Looking for a fix to this annoying problem, the family reached out to DBS.

DBS Design Specialist Ericka Boyum is one of our Concrete Repair experts. She visited the home for a free, no-obligation estimate for the concrete lifting and leveling work. She determined there that our PolyLevel® polymer could get the job done! 

Concrete Repair Foreman Dustin Behning and his production crew drilled into the existing slab and pumped PolyLevel® into the holes to gently and gradually lift and level the slab. They were successful in raising the slab so that the water would flow into the drain instead of pooling in the changing area. 

This family now has a restored slab with properly draining water in their sauna that they can enjoy!

This home in Duluth, Minnesota was in need of serious help when DBS arrived. Deep cracks and severe bowing were occurring when Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder provided a free, no-obligation estimate. Nathan created a plan to stabilize the failing foundation walls with Supportworks® PowerBrace™ wall support beams.  

PowerBrace™ wall support beams immediately stabilize cracked and bowing walls. They are installed with a 75-year fully transferable nationally backed warranty. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew. 

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

These homeowners from Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracking foundation. The bricks outside the home were cracking and falling apart when DBS arrived. 

DBS Design Specialist James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the damage James recommended installing a helical pier on the problematic section of this home. Helical Piers reach solid bedrock deep below the surface of the earth and offer a permanent stabilization solution. This system is covered with dirt after installed and is completely hidden from sight. 

The foundation was stabilized by DBS Foreman Jose Valenzuela and his production crew.

This family now has a stable, healthy, safe, and comfortable home!
