How to Level Garage Apron

The owner of this home in Baldwin, WI reached out to DBS looking for help leveling their garage apron.
Design Specialist Justin Mundahl went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After taking measurements and photos, Justin created a proposal for the customer on the spot.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they injected PolyLevel® foam beneath the sunken apron and around the sidewalk as well. The PolyLevel® fills voids beneath the concrete in an attempt to lift and level the slabs. Once the slabs were leveled, the crew sealed all of the cracks with NexusPro® for a clean finish.

Now that the slabs have been lifted, there are no more tripping hazards for the homeowner to worry about.

This Baldwin, WI homeowner reached out needing help with their basement wall, presenting a significant crack and bowing inward by about 2-3 inches.

Our production team took over from there and installed the PowerBrace© system with precise attention, anchoring it securely to the floor and the rim joist above, ensuring the wall's stability is fully supported. By completion, the threat to the homeowner’s property was significantly mitigated. The homeowner was left relieved and satisfied, knowing their basement was stabilized.

DBS Installs 3-Layer Crawl Space Encapsulation to Convert Cabin in Stone Lake, WI to Year-Round Retreat

The owner of this cabin in Stone Lake, WI was unable to use it during winter because of improper insulation. Looking for an energy-efficient solution, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Austin Burley went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Austin let the cabin owners know about the insulation solutions offered by DBS. He advised them that they would benefit from having both the attic and crawl space properly insulated.

Foreman Raeshawn Pelfrey led the installation of the crawl space encapsulation on the cabin. With the help of a crew, they removed all of the faulty insulation from underneath the structure. First, a layer of dimpled drainage matting was laid over the ground in the crawl space. Next, panels of TerraBlock™ foam insulation were installed over the drainage matting to prevent frost. Finally, CleanSpace®, a thick white poly vapor barrier, was installed to complete the encapsulation of the crawl space. The crew also sprayed waterproof polyurethane foam to air-seal the walls of the foundation ensuring the space is as energy-efficient as possible.

 Now that the home has been thoroughly insulated, the cabin owners will be able to comfortably use their cabin all year long.
