A cabin owner in Side Lake, MN wanted to repair the floor in their boathouse. Shifting soils and washouts have caused the lakeside concrete slab to settle over time. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for our concrete lifting and leveling service.

DBS Design Specialist Kelly Dusek is an expert in Concrete Repair and visited the cabin to provide an inspection. After taking thorough measurements, he designed a solution that would fill the voids beneath the concrete and raise the slabs back to a level position.

DBS Concrete Repair Foreman Evan Lafontaine led a crew that completed this cabin boathouse project. They began by drilling pea-sized holes into the target areas of the concrete. From there, they used a pressurized hose to inject our 2-part solution called PolyLevel® beneath the slab. This expanding foam's lightweight formula is designed to lift concrete without adding extra weight to the soil beneath and causing more settling. The foam hardens and it cures to provide a durable, sustainable fix that won't wash away over time. The cracks were filled with NexusPro®, a flexible silicone solution.

This cabin owner was happy with the work done and is relieved to have a stable and level slab once again.

Job Stories From Side Lake, MN
Cabin Encapsulated with DES and DBS Solutions in Side Lake, MN

The homeowners of a newly renovated cabin in Side Lake, MN needed some assistance with its crawlspace. As the owers were planning to completely remodel the cabin to turn it into a year round home, the homeowners trusted DBS to help find a long-lasting, effective solution for their cabin. Their goal was to be able to feel safe and happy, knowing that their cabin would keep them warm year round. 

 

One of our design specialists, Rich Johnsen, assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate. After completing a careful inspection, they recommended the owner have TerraBlock™ insulation and SprayFoam installed to fix the insulation problems the home was facing. Knowing that the soil was sandy, the homeowner and Rich came to an agreement that a sump was not necessary. Therefore, a Smartdrain would need to be installed under the bath/kitchen area. In addition, he would like two entrances into the crawlspace. 

 

One of our foreman, Glen Olcott, led the team in this installation. They began by installing TerraBlock™ bottom crawlspace insulation to stop any heating and moisture issues coming from the floor of the crawlspace. Then they used DES SprayFoam insulation to coat the walls of the crawlspace to avoid any airflow sneaking into the area. Finally, the team used CleanSpace for a clean finish and to allow the space to be used as a safe, dry storage area. Last they added the Smartdrain system to deal with any excess water from the house. With these solutions, this crawlspace is now clean, warm, and ready for use if needed. After communicating with the owners and walking through the installation, the cabin/homeowners were able to walk away happy with the quality of work done on their newly finished cabin. DBS strives to leave each customer with a lasting WOW! experience According to this job, we were able to do just that.
