Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hovland, MN was concerned about the energy efficiency in her home and the air quality. After a quick call to DBS, an appointment was set to have a specialist come out to the home for a free, no-obligation estimate. At the inspection, the specialist was able to explain to the homeowner the best possible solution. The crawl space beneath the home was giving off slight odors and growing some mold. To combat this problem, encapsulating the space would be the best option. This CleanSpace® solution would also make the home more energy efficient and create a barrier between the ground and the house. The homeowner chose to go forward with this work and once it was completed, she no longer had to worry about mold and odor coming from the crawlspace.

This cabin in Hovland, MN had issues with sinking and settling. The owners had purchased this cabin with hopes of finishing the inside. Looking for a permanent solution to their uneven flooring, they called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for foundation repair. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo has diagnosed structural issues in hundreds of homes and cabins in Minnesota and Wisconsin. After giving a thorough inspection, he suggested our helical piering system for the perimeter of the cabin as a solution to foundation failure.

Foreman Trevor Ingle and his crew led this project, and together they drove 12 helical piers beneath the cabin. This solution allowed the perimeter of the cabin to level and also stabilized the structure to prevent further sinking into the ground. 

This cabin is now permanently stabilized and the owners will be able to complete the interior of their new retreat. 

Our DBS Eden Prairie Crew worked hard to lift and level this walkway and stoop. They finished off the process with Nexus to protect the walkway and stoop.

This homeowner reached out to DBS because their concrete foundation was beginning to sink where the garage door and driveway meet. In search of help, they had Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, come out and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the concrete repair service. After inspection of the concrete, it was determined PolyLevel® and NexusPro™ would offer a long-lasting solution to the problem. A DBS Foreman came out with their crew, completed the project and this family now enjoys a safe and level driveway.
