DBS Before & After Photos

This newly purchased home in Washburn, WI had some major foundation issues. The crawl space support beams were failing and the homeowner was in need of a permanent solution so they contacted DBS.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support work. Henrik saw failure of the existing support system and recommended installing SmartJack® stabilization beams to offer a permanent solution. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew.

They installed 25 feet of steel supplement beam, running parallel to the crawl space dirt floor. From there, they installed 8 SmartJack® support beams. 

This home can now be enjoyed without worry of further structural damage!

The owners of this home in Washburn, WI were having issues keeping their basement warm. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding an energy-efficient solution.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. Rich informed that the issue was caused by improperly sealed rim joists in their basement. Cold air would continue to leak in through the rim joists if left alone.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of this project with help from his crew. Together they sprayed waterproof polyurethane foam into each rim joist of the home. The spray foam air seals the space as it expands when applied. Read this article to learn more about rim joists and how DBS can thoroughly insulate your basement.

Now that the rim joists have been air-sealed, the homeowners will be able to relax comfortably in their homes without paying high heating bills.

This home in Washburn, WI had problems with moisture which was leading to mold growth in two separate areas. Needing a permanent solution, the homeowner trusted DBS with the project.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer assisted this homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate for their home to find the perfect solution. After inspecting the areas in need of help, Henry recommended DES TruSoft™ cellulose insulation. 

A DBS foreman led a team in the installation of this project. The team removed any old, ineffective insulation and began air sealing the space. Air sealing stops any unwanted air flow from cracks and holes from affecting the home. After air sealing, TruSoft™ cellulose was blown into the spaces. TruSoft™ is an environmentally friendly option that is resistant to fire with long lasting performance.

This homeowner will no longer need to worry about cold bedrooms or unhealthy air due to mold. 

The owner of this home in Washburn, WI reached out to DBS looking for help with their unlevel sidewalk.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik recommended our concrete lifting and leveling service.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they injected PolyLevel® beneath the surface of the sidewalk until the slabs were level with one another.

Now that the tripping hazards have been eliminated, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
