How DBS Repair Can Help Fix Cabins in Minnesota and Wisconsin

Cabins in Minnesota and Wisconsin face unique challenges. From shifting soils and freezing temperatures to damp crawl spaces and leaky basements, these issues can quickly turn your retreat into a headache. At DBS Repair, we specialize in fixing cabins so you can enjoy them safely and comfortably year-round. Whether it’s stabilizing uneven floors, waterproofing a basement, or encapsulating a crawl space, our team provides lasting solutions designed for the Northland.

Uneven Floors and Weak Support Systems

Many cabins sit on soils that move over time, leaving floors uneven or causing supports to fail. We commonly see rotting wood posts, stacked blocks, or shifting foundations. DBS installs SmartJack® support posts and piering systems to stabilize your cabin permanently. These solutions not only restore safety but also prevent floors from sagging or bouncing.

Crawl Space Encapsulation for a Healthier Cabin

Damp crawl spaces are a common problem in cabins, leading to odors, cold floors, and even mold. With CleanSpace® encapsulation, we seal off the crawl space to keep it dry, clean, and energy efficient. Encapsulation also helps keep your floors warmer during long Minnesota and Wisconsin winters.

Waterproofing Basements for Peace of Mind

If your cabin has a basement, you don’t want tubes, gear, or storage items getting musty and wet. DBS installs WaterGuard® drainage systems, SingleSafe™ or TripleSafe™ sump pumps, and IceGuard® discharge protection to keep basements dry year-round. This is especially valuable if you’re not always at the cabin — waterproofing ensures healthy air and protects your investment even when you’re away.
