Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

A concerned homeowner in Cromwell, MN, sought a permanent solution to eliminate mold, odors, and water intrusion in their crawlspace. Worried about the potential health risks and structural damage, they turned to DBS Residential Solutions for help. Our team addressed a severely wet basement by tilting the concrete to direct water away from the house and implementing comprehensive waterproofing measures. We installed an IceGuard system and CleanSpace liner to provide additional protection against water and ensure a dry, healthy, and secure environment. This project meets the homeowner's expectations for a lasting fix.

Notice in the before photo the gloomy and damp ambiance of a crawlspace in Cromwell, MN – a space that troubled the homeowner with mold and odorous concerns, fearing water damage to their building materials. However, as the after photo vividly demonstrates, our intervention transformed it into a dry, healthy environment. Utilizing our SaniDry™ Sedona for powerful dehumidification, CleanSpace® wall system to protect and isolate, IceGuard® to prevent overflows during freezing, and a SmartSump™ pump system for superior water mitigation, we not only addressed the immediate worries but also ensured a long-lasting, worry-free solution. Through our dedication to superior service, we provided a remarkable customer experience and a reliably dry crawlspace, turning their anxiety into peace of mind.

This South Haven, MN cabin was built in the 1950s. The foundation has settled over time causing symptoms like uneven doors and windows, as well as bouncy floors on the main level. Looking for a permanent solution, the cabin owners reached out to DBS to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate for our crawl space repair service. 

DBS Design Specialist Andy Bost is an expert in diagnosing structural issues in homes and cabins like this one. After completing a thorough inspection beneath the cabin, Andy designed a solution that would address the sinking and provide permanent support. Upon his inspection, he documented mold on many of the floor joists and prescribed our Mold-X Botanical treatment to rid the space of mold and add some protection to the beams going forward. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby led the installation of this project. A supplemental steel beam was installed as well as our SmartJack system to lift and stabilize the sinking floors. This family cabin is healthy, safe, and comfortable once again!

Before relocating to McGrath, MN, a concerned homeowner reached out to us about the excessive moisture in their crawl space, fearing it would worsen over time. As shown in the "before" photo, the space clearly required professional intervention. By installing our SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier and sealing the area with CleanSpace® liner and DoubleSafe™, as seen in the "after" photo, we converted the moisture-prone area into a dry, efficient space. This solution not only addressed the immediate concern but also provided long-term protection, ensuring the home’s health and comfort. Our dedication to exceptional customer service was evident in both the problem-solving and the lasting peace of mind we delivered.

These homeowners in Canyon, MN reached out to DBS for help with encapsulating their crawlspace. 

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. This home had an unfinished crawl space which allowed water to pool and mold to grow. The solution for the unwanted water was to install our CleanSpace® waterproofing barrier, insulate the rim joists with closed cell spray foam and seal off the crawl space. A DBS foreman and his production crew installed the products and encapsulated this crawl space. 

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
