Andover's Premier Basement Finishing Contractor

Recently in Andover, MN, we had the opportunity to tackle a critical issue for a homeowner who was facing an ongoing challenge: mice entering their rental property through gaps behind the steps. This unsettling problem not only posed a health risk but also threatened the integrity of the home and the comfort of its tenants. The disrepair of the concrete steps, as shown in the before photo, created an easy access point for unwanted visitors, leaving the homeowner frustrated and concerned about the potential damage and nuisance caused by these pests.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner reached out to DBS Residential Solutions for a comprehensive solution. Our team of experts quickly assessed the conditions surrounding the concrete steps and identified the underlying issues that contributed to the problem. We recognized that simply addressing the symptoms would not suffice; a durable, long-lasting solution was needed to effectively prevent future invasions.

To resolve this issue, we employed our innovative products: PolyLevel®, NexusPro®, and SealantPro®. The first step in our process was to lift and stabilize the concrete steps using PolyLevel®, an advanced polymer injection system designed to fill voids beneath the slab and restore its proper elevation. This not only made the steps safer for use but also eliminated the gaps that could allow mice to enter.

Next, we utilized NexusPro® to seal the joints between the concrete steps and the foundation. This flexible, durable sealant is specifically designed to withstand outdoor conditions while providing a strong barrier against water intrusion and pests. By filling the cracks and crevices, we created an impenetrable seal that denied access to any would-be intruders.

Finally, we applied SealantPro® to further enhance the durability of the concrete steps and protect them from future wear and tear. This innovative product creates a robust shield against moisture, dirt, and pests, ensuring that the steps remain in excellent condition for years to come.

The transformation is clearly evident in the after photo. The once-cracked and vulnerable concrete steps have been restored to a solid and stable state, free from gaps that could allow pests to enter. The homeowner can now take comfort in knowing that their rental property is not only secure but also welcoming to tenants without the worry of mice or other unwelcome visitors.

Through our dedicated service and commitment to quality, we guarantee peace of mind and satisfaction for our clients. This project exemplifies our mission of providing remarkable customer experiences with long-lasting results. By addressing the homeowner's concerns with expertise and care, we have ensured that their property remains a safe and inviting space for tenants, free from the challenges of pests and disrepair.

At DBS Residential Solutions, we pride ourselves on delivering comprehensive solutions that go beyond mere repairs. We are dedicated to helping homeowners protect their investments while enhancing the comfort and safety of their living environments. With our innovative products and expert service, we continue to fulfill our promise of exceptional results that stand the test of time.

Recently, we had the opportunity to help someone in Ham Lake, MN, who was facing a significant issue with the concrete entrance to their business. Over time, the concrete had begun to settle unevenly, leading to an uneven surface that not only looked unappealing but also presented a safety hazard for visitors. Understanding the importance of first impressions and the safety of their customers, the homeowner reached out to us for a reliable solution. Upon receiving their call, our customer care team promptly scheduled a home inspection to assess the situation firsthand. Our Design Specialist was on-site to take a closer look at the uneven concrete, identify the root cause of the problem, and recommended PolyLevel© injection—a state-of-the-art solution for lifting and leveling concrete surfaces. PolyLevel© is a fast-acting, durable product perfect for adjusting concrete to its proper position without the mess of traditional mudjacking. It requires minimal downtime, which was a huge benefit for our client hoping to cause the least disruption possible to their business operations. They carefully injected PolyLevel© beneath the settled slabs, which gently lifted the concrete back to its original level. The outcome was just what the owner hoped for—a beautifully leveled front entrance that speaks volumes of their business’s regard for professionalism and safety, without any intrusive downtime or mess. Thanks to our production team led by Justin, they now enjoy a long-lasting resolution that reaffirms their decision in trusting our expertise for not just a quick fix, but a reliable, enduring solution.

These homeowners in Andover, MN, noticed unsettling cracks appearing and growing around their foundation due to the settling ground and knew it was time to call in the experts. Understanding how crucial an effective solution is, our Appointment Center scheduled a free, no-obligation inspection with Design Specialist Justin. He thoroughly inspected the damage and recommended a foolproof fix: a combination of our PolyLevel© and NexusPro© solutions. PolyLevel© would raise and stabilize the sinking concrete to counteract the settling, while NexusPro© would seal the cracks, protecting against future damage. Our production team skillfully injected the PolyLevel© beneath the concrete to lift it back to its original position, following up by applying NexusPro© sealant to fissures, ensuring a seamless and durable finish. Not only was the settling issue resolved, but the repair also prevented future problems, ensuring the structural integrity of their home.

A homeowner contacted DBS after noticing that their concrete sidewalk leading to the kennel was sinking. The stoop from the house to the kennel was also badly cracked and sinking along with the sidewalk.

During our free, no-obligation estimate, our Design Specialist, Bo Meintz, recommended lifting and leveling both the sidewalk and stoop using our PolyLevel® spray foam products. To ensure future protection, we applied our NexusPro Sealant to the crack in the stoop and then sealed and protected the concrete with a concrete protection coat.
