DBS Before & After Photos

The owners of this cabin in Deer River, MN had recently purchased the property. They intended on doing major work on the structure before spending time there with kids and grandchildren as they were worried about the safety of the cabin. Looking for a solution, the owners reached out to DBS. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. Henrik advised the owners that the cabin was experiencing severe foundation issues along with energy efficiency issues. He quoted them for both foundation repair work and crawl space encapsulation and the owners hired DBS to do both sets of work.

Foreman Nick Woods II led the installation for the projects. With the help of a crew, they installed several SmartJack® supports, helical piers, and PowerBrace™  support systems to permanently stabilize the foundation of the cabin. Then, the crew moved on to the crawl space encapsulation portion of the project. They covered the ground with CleanSpace®,  a thick, white poly vapor barrier material to waterproof the crawl space. After installing the CleanSpace® material, the crew air-sealed the space with closed-cell polyurethane spray foam.

Now that the cabin has been permanently stabilized and the crawl space has been encapsulated, the owners will be able to go about remodeling so that they are able to spend time with their families in their new retreat.

In Montrose, MN, this homeowner faced an all-too-common issue – worsening topical cracks in their driveway. Uncertain if it was due to improper installation during cold weather, they sought a solution that would avoid complete replacement. Turning to us, as you can see in the photos, we applied a transformative trio: PolyLevel® lifting technology for stability, NexusPro® for crack repair, and SealantPro® to ensure durability. These steps renewed the driveway's integrity, visually and structurally, providing a cost-effective, long-lasting solution without needing complete replacement.
