DBS Before & After Photos

These Eveleth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS for help with basement waterproofing and wall stabilization after meeting us at the Iron Range Home Show. 

Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo visited the home, assessed the problem, and created a solution for the unwanted water and failing walls. WaterGuard® and our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump were recommended to make sure the basement stays dry all year long. To permanently stabilize the walls our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was installed along the perimeter of the basement. Foreman Casey Healey and his crew successfully installed the products.

The homeowners now enjoy a safe, stable and dry basement!

This recently purchased cabin in Eveleth, MN was in need of some structural support. Its dirt crawl space was causing moisture issues as well a musty smell in the main living space. Because the cabin is not used year-round, they wanted to protect it as much as possible against moisture and fluctuating weather even when they aren't there. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew installed 8 SmartJack support beams to level the cabin. A CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting to properly seal the dirt crawl space floor. Our ultra-dense TerraBlock™ foam insulation, as well as closed-cell spray foam, were applied to fully seal and regulate temperature in the space. These products work together to keep, cold air, moisture, and pests at bay.

These cabin owners no longer have to worry about uneven floors and structural issues. They were also given a solid solution to protect their cabin against wetness and moisture.

This log construction cabin has been in the family since it was first built. Changes in the soil with freezing and thawing throughout the years have caused significant settling in the structure. The family was concerned about the health of the cabin and wanted a permanent solution in protecting it in years to come.

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder visited the cabin and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the cabin's foundation repair work. After inspecting the crawl space, and measuring the structure's settlement, he crafted a plan that would restore the cabin's structural integrity. 

DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his crew installed 10 push piers around the perimeter, completing a lift procedure of the sinking structure. They also added supplemental beams and a SmartJack® System to support the floor joists beneath the cabin. 

This family can now rest easy knowing that their cabin is safe and secure for many years to come!
