These homeowners in Maple, WI reached out to us looking for help with their wet, leaking basement. They wanted a professional and permanent solution and trusted DBS to help.

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams went to the home to run a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. After a thorough inspection, Zach provided a quote for our basement waterproofing solution.

Foreman Glen Olcott led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together, the crew installed our WaterGuard® french drains around the basement and also. This system keeps the space dry and effectively leads the water intrusion to the sump pump to be removed from the home. 

Now that the basement has been waterproofed, the homeowners can relax knowing their home is dry and healthy!

This home was being held up by concrete blocks on top of concrete blocks and shims were used in areas where more support was needed. When adding shims to foundation supports the only guarantee is that you'll need to add more shims when the foundation begins to sag again. This is painstaking and obviously not a permanent solution.

To provide our customer with a permanent solution in this scenario we used steel piers set deep into the earth on opposite sides of the home and welded a steel beam on top of them. The beam sitting on the firmly placed piers yields a permanently stable foundation. 

This is a small portion of an energy efficiency home improvement project where we replaced basement windows with energy efficient Everlast windows & sunhouse covers, a Bilco door, structural improvements, and spray foam along the rim joists. Our customers are often aware of the importance of having energy efficient doors and windows, but may often overlook the benefits of insulating the rim joist of their home. With spray foam insulation we provide a well-needed coating of insulation that has the added benefit of air sealing this section of the home. 

DBS went to a home to find a solution for their foundation problems. We sent our Design Specialist, Kevin Steffey, to the site to see what the best method for repair was. He suggested the home use piering to fix the foundation. This works by driving steel pipes into the previous failing foundations in that building. We’ve included a before photo of the home with failing foundation and a photo during the production of the piering foundation method being installed.
