Before & After Photos

Homeowners in South Range, WI were having foundation issues leading to excess moisture entering the home. Living in the home for about 15 years, they noticed the issues worsening over time, contributing to significant leaking during springtime thaws and heavy rains. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for foundation repair as well as a waterproofing system. DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the leading foreman on the job for both jobs. He and his production team installed our waterproofing system, and then turn focus to the foundation job. 

First, they excavated soil around the home's foundation and then installed 9 Push Piers, driving them down into the load-bearing strata. These hydraulically driven piers assist in returning the home to its original position. A GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System was also installed connecting anchors on the inside of the home and exterior soil with a long steel rod that will be tightened over time, returning the walls to their original position. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a dry basement and supported home they can depend on! 

These homeowners in Deer River, MN reached out to DBS for help repairing their wet and moldy crawl space. One of their children has asthma and the uncontrolled moisture in their crawl space was carrying allergens and odors throughout their home. They were ready for a permanent solution when they called.

DBS Design Specialist, Henry Jungbauer went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the damp crawl space, Hunter recommended installing CleanSpace® vapor barrier over drainage matting, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, and closed cell spray foam insulation. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

Owners of this Superior, WI were experiencing issues with their dirt crawl space. Moisture in the warm months and cold air in the winter months were causing undesirable conditions for the rest of the home. After seeing our website, they decided to contact us in search of a permanent solution to the problem. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for some insulation work. A DBS Foreman and crew installed closed-cell spray foam carefully along the base and rim joists of the crawl space foundation. This Spray Foam insulation will assist in completely sealing the space from outside air and moisture. 

This crawl space is now completely sealed, regulating temperature, and moisture levels for the entire home. 

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating their attic. Rising heating and cooling costs were becoming an issue and they wanted a permanent solution. 

A Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the attic and conducting an energy audit it was determined additional insulation was needed to keep this home healthy and comfortable. DBS Foreman Orrin Sundberg installed SilverGlo™ along the uninsulated walls to prevent outdoor air entering through the knee wall. 

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable all year round! 

This Duluth, MN homeowner was tired of rising heating bills in the wintertime. Not to mention the attic had issues with mice, making conditions uncomfortable for the homeowner. Via an employee referral, this homeowner decided to contact DBS for a solution to this issue. 

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited this home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. Upon inspection, Rich found a few areas where the home was losing heat. One of the main areas that needed to be addressed was the attic insulation, as it was old and lacking the proper depth to achieve the desired R-value.

A DBS production crew removed the existing attic insulation and applied blown-in insulation to the proper depth for a strong R-value standard. 

The homeowner now has a better insulation system, keep the home's energy bills down!
