DBS Before & After Photos

In Hayward, WI, a homeowner was experiencing their concrete slab sinking outside of the back door and reached out to DBS for a solution. A Design Specialist visited and offered a free, no-obligation estimate for the concrete repair service. It was determined that our crew would install PolyLevel® to lift and level the concrete slab. The transition from beginning to end was very apparent, as you can see the slab had sunk about 1 to 2 inches from the house, and after PolyLevel®, it was back to the desired position. 

These homeowners in Hayward, WI reached out to DBS after their basement crawlspace had multiple inches of water and the existing sump pump was completely flooded out. 

Design Specialist Hunter Riley provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work and created a plan of action for waterproofing the space. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew got to work by removing many gallons of water and preparing the damp earth for the waterproofing process.  A new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump was installed in the basement and CleanSpace® waterproofing material was placed along the walls of the crawlspace and the flooring. 

These homeowners now enjoy a dry, safe and clean basement that can now be used for storage!

This Hayward, WI cabin owners was in need of a permanent solution for their cabin foundation. As seen in the before photo, the foundation was cracking and shifting, in threat of collapsing in certain areas. 

After hearing about us from their neighbor, they called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate with our Design Specialist Rich Johnsen. He diagnosed the foundation issues beneath the cabin and designed a custom solution for the homeowners using two different wal support systems.

Foreman Nick Burley and his crew installed 4 GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses the heavy-duty anchors in and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. The team also installed a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System. This 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.
