Crawl Space Waterproofing Company in Floodwood, MN

A homeowner from Floodwood, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their damp, musty crawl space. One of our Design Specialists, James Miller, went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Crawl Space Encapsulation Service. One of our crews led by Foreman, Jacob Nemec, installed our 3-layer crawl space encapsulation products. First, they installed a drainage matting, then TerraBlock™ foam for insulation, and lastly a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier to seal the space. They also sprayed polyurethane along the walls to air-seal the space. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind in a healthy, safe, and comfortable home!

Crawlspace Waterproofing and Piering in Makinen, MN

This homeowner in Makinen, MN reached out to DBS because they discovered significant settling and cracking in their slab foundation, which supports a prefab home on concrete pillars. The settling had caused cracks extending back to the pillar support. The primary goal was to permanently stabilize and lift the settled slab foundation, addressing the settling issue and potential water leakage.

 

Our experienced foreman, Jordan Salmi, and his crew started on the project right away. They started by lift the slab and using our PolyLevel® foam to fill voids during and after the lift. Given the encapsulation plans, the team ensured PolyLevel application before encapsulation to avoid drilling through the CleanSpace® liner.

Additionally, the crew reinforced the slab with a thickened edge and rebar to provide lasting stability. The 3-part encapsulation process was implemented to address water leakage onto the concrete floor, particularly around the 30 concrete block supports. The NexusPro™ crack repair and joint sealant were applied to remedy existing cracks and prevent future issues.

 

Upon completion, the homeowners expressed satisfaction, noting that the project not only met but exceeded their expectations!
