Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Two Harbors, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. Crawl spaces with exposed earth are prone to fluctuating humidity, creating moisture and mold issues. This was concerning for the owner, as it can cause damage to the home and foundation as well as raise health issues. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation service. It was determined that the crawl space would need to have CleanSpace® installed to act as a vapor barrier for the area. The DBS Foreman and crew laid the vapor barrier throughout the space to prevent any further moisture issues.

A homeowner contacted DBS after experiencing some frozen pipes in their crawlspace. The house was also very drafty due to the cold air entering the crawlspace. The homeowner wanted to clean up and insulate the crawlspace to resolve the cold air issue. Our Design Specialist, Mike Ward, inspected the crawlspace and recommended using our spray foam insulation and installing our CleanSpace® Wall product to regulate the moisture that accumulates on the wall and goes directly to the sump pump.

Our Crew went to the property and installed our products, providing the homeowner with a comfortable, safe, and healthy crawlspace!

Recently in Duluth, MN, a homeowner reached out to us with concerns about ongoing water intrusion and musty odors in their basement, taking a toll on their living space. As shown in the before photo, the space was damp and uninviting. Our solution? We installed our reliable WaterGuard® system and TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, alongside IceGuard® and SaniDry™ Sedona to manage moisture and ensure the air quality remains healthy. The after photo proudly displays the transformation to a clean, dry, and comfortable basement, wrapped with our CleanSpace® wall system for that final touch of protection and aesthetic. With these changes, not only is the space now usable, but it’s also safeguarded against future water problems, providing peace of mind and a remarkable change the homeowners can feel and see.

In Two Harbors, MN, a damp, moldy basement was once an unsafe and unusable space, unfit for the cherished family gatherings it was meant to host. As shown in the before photo, the basement was a breeding ground for mold, posing serious health risks to the family, especially with 20 grandkids who regularly played there. To turn this space around, we implemented a comprehensive set of solutions designed to eliminate moisture and mold for good.

Using the UltraSump™ System, CleanSpace® lining, SaniDry™ Sedona, and WaterGuard®, we successfully transformed the basement into a dry, secure environment. These systems work together to control moisture, prevent mold growth, and ensure the space remains comfortable and safe for years to come.

As seen in the after photo, the once-damp, ominous space is now bright, inviting, and ready to host countless family memories without the worries of mold or moisture. This renovation wasn’t just a fix; it was a complete transformation that combined cutting-edge technology with our commitment to providing peace of mind and long-term reliability for the homeowner.

In the 'before' photo, our client in Two Harbors, MN had a front porch with structural concerns, preventing it from being used year-round. Our solution involved installing Helical Piers for permanent stabilization, complemented by SmartJack systems and PowerBrace for added structural support. We then transformed the damp crawl space with a durable CleanSpace encapsulation system. Now, as seen in the 'after' photo, the porch is stable and well-insulated, ready to serve as a comfortable, all-season living space. Our expertise ensures long-lasting performance and peace of mind in any weather conditions.
