Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This newly purchased home in Washburn, WI had some major foundation issues. The crawl space support beams were failing and the homeowner was in need of a permanent solution so they contacted DBS.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support work. Henrik saw failure of the existing support system and recommended installing SmartJack® stabilization beams to offer a permanent solution. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew.

They installed 25 feet of steel supplement beam, running parallel to the crawl space dirt floor. From there, they installed 8 SmartJack® support beams. 

This home can now be enjoyed without worry of further structural damage!

This Saint Paul homeowner faced a crawl space nightmare, complete with unwelcome mice and a musty smell, desperately seeking a solution. When we got to the property, we stepped in and transformed this crawlspace. First, our team installed CleanSpace, an encapsulation system that seals out moisture and pests. Then, we added SilverGlow insulation, enhancing energy efficiency!

In the before photo, you can see the distress our Oakdale homeowner faced: a damp, musty crawl space plagued by water intrusion, a failed sump pump, and poor drainage. The health of their home was at risk, with mold growth a looming threat. To solve this, we implemented a comprehensive crawl space solution, starting with SprayFoam insulation to seal the space and improve energy efficiency. We also installed TerraBlock for added moisture protection and comfort underfoot, and a SmartSump™ sump pump to ensure reliable drainage. The after photo showcases the incredible transformation: a dry, clean, and mold-free crawl space. Through these solutions, we provided the homeowner with lasting peace of mind, turning a damp, unhealthy area into a safe, dry foundation for their home.

This home in White Bear Lake, MN was leaking water in one particular part of the basement. Homeowners had issues with water making its way into the basement in large amounts, especially in the spring while the family was traveling. Wanting to put the anxiety to rest and come up with a permanent solution, they contacted DBS.

Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. It was determined that an insulating-waterproofing system would need to be installed.

DBS Foreman Zach Royer and crew excavated soil around the base of the home's front entry and added a SentrySeal® membrane to seal off any cracks in the foundation from the outside. The crew also installed SilverGlo™ insulation to further protect the home's foundation.

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have heavy-duty insulation and support for their basement. 

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, was concerned about keeping their crawlspace clean and insulated. Enter our CleanSpace© solution, visible in the transformations captured in these photos. Before, the crawl space seemed unsure and unwelcoming, but after a free, no-obligation inspection with Design Specialist Justin, our team, led by Foreman Cobi, got to work. They wrapped the area in CleanSpace©, providing a durable layer that assures the walls won't budge during her future home expansions, and SprayFoam©, a quality insulation. This project was a testament to our commitment to delivering long-lasting solutions, and ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
