Before & After Photos

The homeowner at this property in Grand Rapids, MN was having trouble with the presence of water in their basement. They were looking into finishing their basement but knew they needed to address the water issue first. Looking for a solution, they contacted DBS.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowners. Upon further inspection, he made note of signs of water damage throughout the basement and concluded that the home would benefit from DBS's WaterGuard® draining system and TripleSafe™ sump pump.

Carpenter Brandon Wollin led the installation of this project and with the help of a crew, they installed a WaterGuard® drain system to help direct water flow to the TripleSafe™ sump pump. The TripleSafe™ sump pump would allow for more water to be expelled from the basement, helping to maintain a dry environment.

The homeowners of this property can relax comfortably in their homes now that they know their basement will stay drier and promote healthy clean air.

This home in Grand Rapids, MN was suffering from a settling, sinking foundation. The owners were looking for a permanent and professional solution, so they reached out to DBS for help.

One of our Design Specialists assisted the homeowners with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, they recommended our Piering Services and provided a quote.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used hydraulic pressure to drive the helical piers down into the stable soil. These piers are able to fully support the structure and are adjusted to raise the structure back to a level, stable position.

These homeowners from Bovey, Minnesota reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked and bowing foundation walls. Luckily wall damage was present and foundation settlement was not. The wall failure indicated that increasing soil pressure over time was damaging the structural integrity of this home. 

DBS Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home and walls Henrik recommended installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams. These steel I-beams come from Supportworks® and offer an immediate wall stabilization solution. Over time, PowerBrace™ wall support beams are tightened in an attempt to bring bowing walls back to level. This progress is benchmarked during annual maintenance appointments through our DBS Customer Care Club. PowerBrace™ wall support beams are installed with a 75-year fully-transferable and nationally-backed warranty! 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew. This Bovey, MN home is not healthy, safe, and comfortable. 

When a cabin owner in Pequot Lakes, MN, reached out to us, their family cabin's crawl space had only been partially repaired in the past and it was getting progressively worse. Eager to stabilize and level their cabin, they wanted to make it a reliable, year-round getaway. Our team quickly got to work, using the SmartJack system to address the underlying issues. As shown in the photo gallery, our precision and expertise transformed their crawl space into a strong, dependable foundation, ensuring they can enjoy their cabin for many years to come.

When a homeowner in Pequot Lakes, MN, reached out to DBS, they were facing ongoing issues with their crawl space, which had resisted previous fixes. Their goal was a stable foundation that could support a functional year-round space.

Our team recommended installing SmartJack® support systems to correct and stabilize the uneven crawl space. After a thorough inspection, our System Design Specialist provided a tailored plan, and the homeowners were eager for a solution.

We began by preparing the work area for the SmartJack® installation. These high-strength steel supports effectively addressed the foundation's unevenness. 

The transformation was remarkable. By installing the SmartJack® system, we restored the foundation's integrity, allowing the crawl space to be safely used year-round. The homeowners were thrilled, finally able to relax knowing their crawl space was secure and their home was resilient.
