Homeowner in St. Paul, MN Has DBS Install SmartJack® System Installed to Level Floors and Pass Home Inspection

The owner of this home in St. Paul, MN had a home inspection done and was concerned with what the inspector had mentioned about their uneven and sagging floors. Looking for a solution for their crawl space issues, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, he generated a quote for our SmartJack® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed a main steel beam and 4 SmartJack® supports in an attempt to level the flooring and permanently stabilize the home.

The homeowner can relax with peace of mind now that the project has passed an inspection and will not need to worry anymore about their foundation failing.

In the before photo, you can see the distress our Oakdale homeowner faced: a damp, musty crawl space plagued by water intrusion, a failed sump pump, and poor drainage. The health of their home was at risk, with mold growth a looming threat. To solve this, we implemented a comprehensive crawl space solution, starting with SprayFoam insulation to seal the space and improve energy efficiency. We also installed TerraBlock for added moisture protection and comfort underfoot, and a SmartSump™ sump pump to ensure reliable drainage. The after photo showcases the incredible transformation: a dry, clean, and mold-free crawl space. Through these solutions, we provided the homeowner with lasting peace of mind, turning a damp, unhealthy area into a safe, dry foundation for their home.

SilverGlo™ and Sentry Seal Installed to Protect White Beak Lake, MN Home

This home in White Bear Lake, MN was leaking water in one particular part of the basement. Homeowners had issues with water making its way into the basement in large amounts, especially in the spring while the family was traveling. Wanting to put the anxiety to rest and come up with a permanent solution, they contacted DBS.

Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. It was determined that an insulating-waterproofing system would need to be installed.

DBS Foreman Zach Royer and crew excavated soil around the base of the home's front entry and added a SentrySeal® membrane to seal off any cracks in the foundation from the outside. The crew also installed SilverGlo™ insulation to further protect the home's foundation.

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have heavy-duty insulation and support for their basement.
