DBS Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked concrete garage walls. 

Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Henrik recommended our GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to correct the cracked and bowing walls. GeoLock® Wall Anchors stabilize foundation walls by connecting two steel plates together with a galvanized steel rod. Based on the severity of the wall movement, excavation was recommended, allowing the wall to be immediately straightened and permanently stabilized. 

Foreman Casey Healy and his production crew installed the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System and saved the garage from collapsing. 

These homeowners now enjoy a safe and stable garage all year long!

These Duluth homeowners reached out to DBS for information on waterproofing their leaky basement.  They had another company replace their basement drainage about 15 years ago but were still experiencing mold in their basement due to excess water. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Foreman, Kevin Steffey, and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement. The system directs all moisture to the home's existing sump pump.

This home now has a safe and dry basement to enjoy!

These homeowners reached out to DBS for help reducing their home's heating and cooling costs.

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Hunter measured where heat was escaping in different areas of the home. The attic was problematic due to its exposed roof deck and untreated rim joists. SilverGlo™ insulation was recommended paired with closed cell spray foam. A DBS Foreman and their production crew successfully installed the products. 

This house is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

These Duluth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS for help reducing heating and cooling costs. 

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Energy loss was measured across the entire home. The attic of this home was not properly insulated and resulted in heat loss and ice dams. The solution to this problem was to install closed cell spray foam along the roof deck and the rim joists of this home. A DBS foreman and their production crew installed the spray foam and insulated this attic. 

This home is now healthy, comfortable, and more energy-efficient! 

This Duluth, MN homeowner has a stone foundation that is quite common in the area. Over time the stones have settled, causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. Wanting a permanent solution to this issue, the homeowner reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the basement. It was determined that the home would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging ceiling.

A DBS Foreman and production crew installed 3 SmartJack® XL support beams as well as extra framing of wooden support beams in the ceiling to restore the structural support for the rest of the home. 

The homeowner now enjoys a healthy, safe, and supported home!
