Foundation Repair & Concrete Repair Contractor serving Minneapolis, MN

When the homeowner first reached out to us, they were understandably alarmed to discover unwelcome visitors in their attic. This not only highlighted a serious insulation problem but also raised concerns about the overall health and safety of their home. The before photo vividly illustrates the extent of the issue, showing not only the pests but also the inadequate insulation that had allowed them to infiltrate the space.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, our team at DBS was quick to devise an effective solution. We opted to install SilverGlo™, a premium insulation product known for its superior thermal performance and radiant barrier properties. This innovative material is designed to reflect heat away in the summer and retain warmth in the winter, contributing to significant energy savings. Additionally, we complemented this with Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, made from recycled paper, which is treated for pest resistance. This combination not only provides exceptional insulation but also adds an extra layer of protection against future pest intrusions.

The transformation is clearly evident in the after photo, where the attic now features a clean, well-insulated environment. This upgrade not only seals off potential entry points for pests but also dramatically enhances the home's energy efficiency. As a result, the living space below remains more comfortable year-round, with regulated temperatures and reduced energy costs.

Beyond the physical improvements, our work also provides the homeowner with peace of mind. Knowing that their attic is now secure and well-insulated allows them to focus on enjoying their home without the worry of pests or high energy bills. At DBS, we take pride in transforming homes like this one in Minneapolis, delivering dependable, long-lasting results that enhance both comfort and safety. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every project we undertake not only meets but exceeds our clients’ expectations, turning challenges into lasting solutions.

At DBS, we recently had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in St. Louis Park, MN, dealing with a common yet frustrating issue: tripping hazards from an uneven front walkway. The misaligned concrete slabs not only posed safety risks but also had an improper slope that failed to redirect water away from the foundation. Seeking a reliable and long-lasting fix, the homeowner reached out to our team to begin the journey toward a safer walkway.

After contacting our Customer Care team, we quickly scheduled a complete home inspection. One of our skilled sales team members, specializing in systematic design, visited the site to assess the issues and discuss a tailored solution with the homeowner. We recommended PolyLevel®—an innovative, durable, and efficient product specifically designed for concrete problems. This high-density polyurethane foam effectively raises and stabilizes sunken concrete, correcting uneven surfaces and sloping issues.

Our process began with the precision and expertise our foreman and skilled installers are known for. Small holes were drilled into the affected concrete sections, allowing PolyLevel® to be injected underneath until the slabs were lifted back to their original levels and the proper slope away from the house was achieved. We ensured prompt cleanup to leave the property in pristine condition.

By transforming a frustrating safety hazard, our team not only eliminated tripping risks but also prevented potential water damage due to the improper slope. The homeowner in St. Louis Park appreciated not only the quick and non-invasive nature of our work but also the value of a genuine solution that prioritized their safety.

Upon contacting our team, we promptly arranged for a Systems Design Specialist to visit their home for a thorough inspection. Our specialist diagnosed the root of the problem and recommended a trio of solutions to not only fix the immediate issue but also prevent future hazards. Our recommendations included installing PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the sunken concrete, NexusPro® to seal cracks and joints, effectively warding off water and wear, and finally, SealantPro® to protect the concrete from further elements’ damage, ensuring it lasts longer without issues. Our production team, led by an experienced foreman and comprised of skilled installers, got to work, swiftly implementing our solutions. The installation process was smooth and efficient, causing minimal disruption to the homeowner's daily activities.

Recently, a homeowner in Duluth, MN, contacted us with an urgent concern about rainwater pooling near their home, posing a risk of water damage and flooding in their basement. After reaching out to our Customer Care team, they were quickly scheduled for a home inspection to identify the source of the problem.

Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough walkthrough and diagnosed the issue: the uneven and sinking concrete around the home was failing to direct water away from the foundation. With a clear understanding of the situation, we recommended PolyLevel®—a state-of-the-art solution designed to lift and stabilize sinking concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel® is a strong, durable, and minimally invasive alternative.

Our team worked with precision, drilling small holes in the designated areas of the concrete and injecting the PolyLevel® foam. As the foam expanded, it raised the concrete back to its original position while ensuring it sloped away from the house, effectively addressing the homeowner’s water concerns.

By the end of the day, the work area was clean, the concrete looked as good as new, and most importantly, the homeowner could relax knowing that water would now flow away from their home.

When a Minneapolis homeowner noticed water creeping into their basement every time it rained, they knew they needed a reliable solution—and fast. Concerned about long-term damage and the hassle of constantly dealing with the mess, they reached out to us at DBS for help. Understanding the urgency of the situation, our Customer Care team swiftly scheduled a home inspection.

Our System Design Specialist visited the home, meticulously inspecting the affected area to diagnose the root cause of the water intrusion. We discovered that part of the house was particularly vulnerable to leakage, necessitating a strategic waterproofing solution. To ensure minimal disruption to the home's aesthetic and functionality, we recommended discreetly installing a SmartSump™ in a closet area.

Our solution included installing WaterGuard®, our innovative below-floor drainage system designed to capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. To manage the collected water, we installed our reliable SmartSump™ system in the selected closet area, keeping it out of sight while fully functional. Additionally, we utilized CleanSpace® on the walls—an ultra-durable vapor barrier that blocks moisture and directs it to the WaterGuard® system, effectively keeping the basement dry and protected.

The outcome was nothing short of remarkable. Our production team expertly installed the waterproofing system, ensuring every component was perfectly in place and operational.

Since there was mold in the rim joists, our production crew would have to spray around 102 square feet of Mold-X around the rim joist and subfloor in the utility room. Additionally, there would need to be a dense pack of insulation for the wall underneath the bay window in the kitchen. 

Once our production crew was able to get to the property, they evacuated the homeowner out of the property and sprayed the Mold X and installed the proper insulation. Once the project was complete, the customer was very happy with the results and communication provided by both the Design Specialist and production crew.

This customer reached out to DBS after noticing cracks in their basement walls and on the outside of the house. With the intention of potentially renting out or selling their property, they wanted to make sure their basement was safe and wasn't going to cause any further issues in the future.

When our Design Specialist, Nicholas Corbin, went out to the property, he inspected the cracks and was able to relate them to a foundation issue. The foundation was settling and the house needed to be supported through the installation of interior piers and lifts.

Once our production crew was able to get out to the residents property, they were able to install our 3" Push Piers that have a low profile bracket underneath the foundation and lift it back into place. Once the products were installed, the homeowner was happy with the results and could be more comfortable renovating the basement for the future of the house.

This homeowner reached out to DBS after they purchased a house and noticed that their garage floor had a large crack in it. Upon further inspection from our Design Specialist, he noticed that there was slight foundation settling along the backside of the home which was causing the crack across the garage. To fix this, he recommended our Geo-Lock™ Wall Support System to help stabilize the back wall. For the crack, he recommended to use our PolyLevel® foam to lift the concrete back into place and then seal it off with our NexusPro™ crack repair and sealent.

Once our crew was able to get out to the property and repair the garage, the homeowner was very happy with the results!
