DBS Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Duluth, MN had a wet basement that was causing a host of issues. They knew it was most likely due to cracking in their foundation. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support and waterproofing systems. A DBS foreman and crew installed a new french drain system and CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier along the perimeter of the basement. This system directs all the moisture to a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System. A new discharge line was installed and connected to our IceGuard® drain outlets. This will prevent wintertime freezing of the discharge line.  

To permanently stabilize the basement walls, the production crew installed 8 PowerBrace™ steel I-beams. 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. 

The installation was successful and provided a solid solution to the leaking water and foundation cracks!

This Duluth, MN business reached out to DBS to insulate their warehouse space. Weatherproofing this space would make it better for equipment storage and improve employee working conditions. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS. 

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the site and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After measuring energy loss in the space, our expert recommended closed cell spray foam to decrease heating and cooling costs, and provide a more temperate climate during cold winter months. A DBS Foreman and their production crew applied the spray foam along the walls of the warehouse, as well as the ceiling. 

This space is weather-proof and overall more energy-efficient during all four seasons!
