Before & After Photos

This home in Duluth, MN needed some assistance with its crawlspace. Wanting to encapsulate the area, the homeowners trusted DBS to help find a long-lasting, effective solution for their home.

Design Specialist Emily Haala assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate. After completing a careful inspection, Emily recommended the owner have TerraBlock™ insulation and SprayFoam installed to fix the insulation problems the home was facing.

Design Specialist Nicholas Woods II led the team in this installation. They began by installing TerraBlock™ bottom crawlspace insulation to stop any heating and moisture issues coming from the floor of the crawlspace. Then they used DES SprayFoam insulation to coat the walls of the crawlspace to avoid any airflow sneaking into the area. Finally, the team used CleanSpace for a clean finish and to allow the space to be used as a safe, dry storage area.

With these solutions, this crawlspace is now clean, warm, and ready for use if needed.

This homeowner from Duluth, MN, reached out to us with a concerning issue - their basement was facing water intrusion. After a free, no-obligation inspection was set up with Design Specialist Henrik, he went out to take a look at the basement.

After the thorough evaluation, it was clear – the right solution involved not one, not two, but four of our top-tier products: the DoubleSafe© Sump Pump to offer unparalleled water evacuation, the IceGuard© system to prevent discharge line freezing during the harsh Duluth winters, our reliable WaterGuard© drainage system to catch wall and floor seam water leaks, and the CleanSpace© wall system to provide an additional layer of protection against humidity and mold.

Thanks to our production team, led by Foreman Lee, come rain or snow, the homeowner rests easy, assured by the effectiveness of their new basement waterproofing system and enduring quality of our workmanship.

A homeowner in Hermantown, MN had a basement with poor protection from leaking water. Old basements with concrete walls and floors are susceptible to water damage, as concrete can begin to crack and shift, allowing outside material to agin access to the interior portion of the basement. In this case, the homeowner reached out to DBS, and had a crew come and install several waterproofing products to aid in the extraction of unwanted water. The photo attached shows both CleanSpace® wall covering as well as WaterGuard® after installation. The results were a success, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable basement environment. 

A homeowner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS regarding deck foundation stabilization. Their wood posts were being poorly supported with concrete footings, and they were in search of something to provide them with better strength. It was decided that the deck would have helical piers installed to bring lift and stabilization for the structure of the deck. These steel piers are ideal for this scenario, and the homeowner can now feel more comfortable with stronger deck support.
