DBS Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Aurora, MN was experiencing issues with their concrete basement wall. The wall was beginning to fail from lack support and cave in. This was concerning for the homeowner, as it can lead to further structural issues with the home. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS. After a free, no-obligation estimate, it was determined that the wall would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed for extra support. These braces work to stabilize a bowing wall, and can even work to straighten the wall back to its original position. The overall results of this project turned out great!

A homeowner in Aurora, MN reached out to DBS regarding the driveway area of their property. The concrete had started to sink towards the house, as well as crack in several places, In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS.

After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the driveway would need to have PolyLevel® installed in order to lift and level the concrete away from the home. Aside from that, the crew would also install NexusPro™ along the joints and cracks to seal it off, as shown in the final picture. These products are an ideal alternative to replacing the slab entirely.  

New homeowners in Aurora, MN wanted to protect their home from the extreme temperature fluctuations in our region. Their vented crawl space allowed for outside air to enter their home, creating humid conditions in the summer and cold drafts in the winter. Interested in our crawl space encapsulation system, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate.

Production Manager Steve Lafontaine visited the home and completed a thorough inspection of the dirt crawl space. He proposed our full encapsulation system for the space, as well as a crawl space sump pump to keep water up and out of the home. 

Our Dr. Energy Saver® Austin Sande Foreman led this crawl space encapsulation project. Our crew began by removing the existing plastic in the crawl space and prepping the dirt floor for sealing. From there, they installed our three-layer system: drainage matting to capture moisture, TerraBlock™ crawl space insulation, and our CleanSpace® vapor barrier to prevent any moisture from creating condensation and wet humid air in the space.

This home is guaranteed to see an improvement in year-round comfort with a DBS crawl space encapsulation system.
