Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in McGregor, MN discovered their new home had foundation and water issues. Looking for solutions to both, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, they generated a free quote that recommended our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System for the foundation issues as well as our waterproofing system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 4 PowerBrace™ i-beams to permanently stabilize the foundation walls in the basement. For the water issues, the crew installed our WaterGuard® french drain system and a sump pump to expel water up and away from the foundation. To finish the waterproofing aspect of the project, the crew installed a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized and properly waterproofed, the homeowner can relax more peacefully in their new home.

A homeowner from Cold Spring, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their unsupported basement foundation walls. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Basement Wall Repair System. One of our crews installed the PowerBrace® Wall Braces along the basement walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

Aurora, MN homeowner reached out to DBS with concerns about a wet basement and cracks in their basement walls.

DBS Design Specialist, Royce Bunn, went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for a solution to their basement problems.

Our DBS Foreman and production crew then installed our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System to immediately stabilize the cracked walls. Over time the PowerBrace® System is tightened by our service team to restore the wall to level. The crew also installed our CleanSpace® Technology along the basement walls and SuperSump® Premier Pump System to ensure a dry and clean basement space.

The homeowner can now feel safe with permanently stabilized walls and a dry, clean basement!

This foundation had deteriorated over time and was allowing water into the home through cracks in the walls and through the base of the foundation. The homeowner knew they needed a permanent solution fast or they would be facing much more expensive problems. With the help of our Specialist Henrik we proposed a solution that would secure the entire foundation permanently while waterproofing the most critically important sections at the same time. With the understanding and agreement of the homeowner we soon had our Foreman Casey installing a drian tile around the home with CleanSpace matting that allowed water to drain into the system which led to our our TripleSafe sump pump with a back-up pump and a second back-up pump which is battery powered. After the waterproofing system was in place Casey was able to add the PowerBraces to permanently secure the foundation and prevent further shifting from taking control of the basement walls. When completely this system gives the basement walls a much more clean and bright look and confidence is built in the basement walls when one sees the solid steal beams supporting every wall. 

A client called DBS looking to waterproof their basement and replace some cabinets and shelving in the basement area surrounding the old waterproofing system. DBS uses a WaterGuard® system to waterproof homes efficiently, that also looks nice. We worked on the basement to replace the outdated system and install our new, long-lasting WaterGuard® waterproofing system to make sure that our clients basement is safe and dry, making sure that no moisture creates mildew smell or mold present. We sent our Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, to the house to successfully waterproof the home for our clients!
