Before & After Photos

In the before photo, you can see the distress our Oakdale homeowner faced: a damp, musty crawl space plagued by water intrusion, a failed sump pump, and poor drainage. The health of their home was at risk, with mold growth a looming threat. To solve this, we implemented a comprehensive crawl space solution, starting with SprayFoam insulation to seal the space and improve energy efficiency. We also installed TerraBlock for added moisture protection and comfort underfoot, and a SmartSump™ sump pump to ensure reliable drainage. The after photo showcases the incredible transformation: a dry, clean, and mold-free crawl space. Through these solutions, we provided the homeowner with lasting peace of mind, turning a damp, unhealthy area into a safe, dry foundation for their home.

In Lake Elmo, MN, a homeowner reached out to DBS with concerns about a bowing west basement wall and ongoing water leaks. Before we address the foundation issues, our team began the first phase of the project by tackling the water intrusion. As shown in the ‘before’ photo, moisture had compromised the basement space. To create a dry environment and prepare for future repairs, we installed our CleanSpace encapsulation system, WaterGuard interior drainage, and a dependable SingleSafe sump pump. The ‘after’ photo shows a clean, dry space—setting the stage for phase two: structural reinforcement of the wall.

DBS received a call from a client in Longville, MN looking to upgrade their crawl space because it had not been maintained in years, they also said their home was often cold, and wanted to add insulation to the area from our Dr. Energy Saver spray foam services. DBS was able to upgrade the crawl space to an area that will be maintained for years into the future, while also adding insulation to keep cold air from entering the room. DBS also made sure the crawl space was dry by installing a drainage matting to the crawl space floor. Now we can ensure that the home will have a dry, updated crawl space for years into the future.

In Stillwater, MN, this homeowner faced a familiar problem: a musty, damp crawlspace making floors cold above and damaging stored items. As you can see in the 'before' photo, the lack of proper sealing invited moisture, cold, and mold. Fast forward to the 'after' photo, and you'll notice the impact of our CleanSpace® solution. We transformed their dark, unwelcoming crawlspace into a clean, dry area. Our expert installation sealed off moisture, leading to warmer floors and protected belongings. It's more than just an aesthetic upgrade; it's providing homeowners peace of mind, knowing their home's foundation is healthier and more efficient.

Faced with a musty aroma taking over their cozy cabin in Remer, MN, this homeowner turned to DBS for help. The before photo captures the crawlspace of the cabin, where the musty smell became an unwelcome guest. As you can see in the photo, we introduced a breath of fresh air with our CleanSpace technology and SilverGlow insulation. Together, these solutions not only banished the mustiness but also paved the way for a rejuvenated and efficiently insulated crawl space.
