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. This job, like all others we undertake at DBS, was completed with a commitment to providing a lasting solution rather than just a temporary fix. The relief and satisfaction from the homeowner were palpable, and it’s precisely why we do what we do.
