Before & After Photos

This home in Solon Springs, WI had been in the family for nearly 50 years. The crawl space support beams were failing and the homeowner was in need of a permanent solution. They contacted DBS after learning about our crawl space support systems.

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support work. Nathan saw failure of the existing support system and recommended installing SmartJack® stabilization beams to offer a permanent solution. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his production crew.

This crawl space support system consisted of 38 feet of supplement steel beam, running parallel to the crawl space dirt floor. From there, they installed 9 SmartJack® telescoping support posts. To encapsulate the dirt crawl space, they installed a vapor barrier called CleanSpace®. This thick poly sheet is place on top of a drainage matting layer and will assist in keep the dirt floor free from moisture build-up.

Finally, our crew applied closed-cell spray foam to the rim joists in the crawl space to insulate and air seal the space. This will prevent cold air, pests, and water from entering the space. Ultimately, this will protect the foundation, and allow for a more energy efficient home.

This home can now be enjoyed without worry of further structural damage!

Before addressing the chill and dampness plaguing this Wisconsin restaurant, the owner was dealing with a crawl space that made winters uncomfortable and left the space musty and humid throughout the year. As shown in the before photo, the area desperately needed an upgrade. The after photo reveals a remarkable transformation. We installed CleanSpace® to effectively seal out moisture and SmartJack® to ensure structural stability, creating a more comfortable and efficient environment for the restaurant. The visible improvement highlights the quality and care we bring to every project—showcasing the reliable, exceptional solutions we’re proud to offer.

A homeowner in Virginia, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. The area was dirty and had a moisture problem, and the owner was looking to clean it up and prevent further water issues. After thorough inspection by a Design Specialist, it was concluded that the crawl space would require CleanSpace® to be installed around the entire area to encapsulate it, and create a barrier to keep water and moisture out of the area. Along with that, the perimeter of the crawl space received spray foam insulation to keep it free from cold, drafty air. 

These Virginia, MN homeowners reached out to DBS after meeting us at the Iron Range Home Show. They had been having issues with water and odors in their crawlspace and wanted a permanent solution to the problem.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System in the crawlspace and the home now has a dry, safe and clean foundation.
