Before & After Photos

Owners of this 1950's home in Canyon, MN had issues with water seeping through foundation cracks in the basement. As evidenced in the before photo, this basement has sustained water damage from prolonged water exposure. Tired of cleaning up their flooded basement after heavy rains, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair and waterproofing system. DBS Foreman Joe Harris and crew installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, that will direct all moisture to a new SingleSafe™ Sump Pump. The crew also installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the walls that were extra prone to water leakage. 

To correct the structural issues, the team installed 4 PowerBrace™ beams to correct the bowing foundation walls, as well as 8 SmartJack® beams to support the sinking basement supports. 

This home is now protected against further structural movement and water issues. 

Folks with a family cabin in Cook, MN want to keep their favorite retreat in tip-top shape for years to come. The cabin's dirt crawl space was retaining moisture, harboring some mold, and affecting air quality. They reached out to DBS about our crawl space encapsulation service.

Design Specialist Jacob Nustad-Peluso is an expert in energy-saving solutions and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on top of drainage matting in the dirt crawl space. Because this space was so prone to water, our team also installed a TripleSafe™ sump pump as well as a new external drainage line. 

This cabin now has a permanent solution to protect their cabin against moisture build-up in the crawl space.
