Expert Basement Finishing in Mound, MN

A homeowner in Mound, MN, was eager to settle into their new home before the winter season, but an unstable floor was threatening their plans. The floor had begun to sag, creating concern about the long-term stability of the home. Determined to address the issue before the cold weather arrived, the homeowner reached out to DBS for help.

Our team at DBS assessed the situation and recommended a combination of PowerBrace™ and SmartJack® systems to stabilize the floor and foundation. These precision-engineered solutions were tailored to address the specific needs of the home, providing both immediate and long-term support.

The installation of the PowerBrace™ system addressed the sagging floor by stabilizing and straightening the foundation, while the SmartJack® supports were strategically placed to offer additional reinforcement where needed. The result was a floor that was firm and level, capable of withstanding the stresses of winter and beyond.

Thanks to our expert team and reliable solutions, the homeowner can now enjoy a secure and comfortable winter in their new home, confident that the foundation and floor are stable for years to come.

When this Mound, MN homeowner reached out to us, their basement was dealing with persistent dampness, particularly around the bottom of the stairs—an issue that many homeowners can relate to. The moisture was causing discomfort and creating an environment that could lead to potential mold growth, compromising the overall health of the space. After thoroughly assessing the situation, we determined that an upgrade was necessary to permanently address the moisture issues.

Our solution was to install the CleanSpace® system, a high-performance vapor barrier designed to efficiently manage moisture. CleanSpace® encapsulates the basement, sealing out water and moisture while providing a clean, dry surface. The durable, long-lasting material helps maintain a dry environment and prevents any future issues related to dampness.

As shown in the after photo, the transformation is clear. The space is noticeably drier and cleaner, providing the homeowner with a dry, healthy environment. The CleanSpace® system has successfully addressed the moisture problem, ensuring long-term protection against future water intrusion and creating a more comfortable living space.

This project highlights how our expertise and innovative products provide lasting solutions. With CleanSpace®, we not only solved the moisture issue but also delivered a hassle-free experience, giving the homeowner peace of mind and a drier, more functional basement for years to come.

As the snow melts and spring comes, DBS becomes extremely busy working to waterproof our client's homes. All the water can become a problem for many homes, showing homeowners water problems that they didn’t know existed. DBS recently waterproofed a home in Mound, MN. The home required that we install a WaterGuard® system to manage the water, then install a TripleSafe™ pump system for the water in the home. We also installed a WaterWatch® Alarm System to notify when the water is not being managed efficiently. Between the different waterproofing system, the new sump pump with back up pumps, and the alarm for any water problems, the home will be safe from water damage into the future.
