After seeing our advertisements on TV this customer in Marshfield Wisconsin knew they had finally found someone in their area that would be able to confidently help with the water issues they were facing in their basement. The foundation walls of the basement had become cracked and were allowing water to come into the basement especially bad when the snow melted every year, but even light rain was having an effect on the basement atmosphere. The homeowner was tired of dealing with standing water and moldy musty smells in their basement so they decided to do something about it. Our Foundation Specialist Rich visited with this customer in their home to determine a custom fit solution for the basement and present an exact estimate. The customer enjoyed how Rich presented the solution and appreciated the explanation of why each part was important. Rich even took into account the oil tank that was sitting in the basement and would need to be accounted for in the layout of the solution. In the end, the customer was presented with a solution that fit their exact needs and items they were looking to accomplish at a price that made sense. To properly waterproof this basement our production crew installed a CleanSpace matting along the walls, a drain tile, and our SuperSump sump pump which provides the customer with peace of mind in the integrity of their basement.
This Anoka, MN basement was leaking from the foundation walls. Looking for a permanent solution to the water in their partially finished basement, the homeowners contacted DBS.
DBS Design Specialist Scott Gilles visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing system. DBS Foreman George Barry and his production team installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement.
The system directs all moisture to a new TripleSafe™ premier sump pump. The crew connected this system to a new discharge line, directing water further away from the home's foundation. The discharge line was fitted with IceGuard® to prevent freezing water in the winter months.
The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a dry basement they can depend on!

In Blaine, MN, a homeowner recently contacted us concerning their sinking patio, which was gradually sliding towards potential trouble. The sunken areas of the patio were causing water to accumulate against the backside of her home, posing a threat of block damage in the future. Fortunately, foundation issues were not a concern since there was no basement involved. However, the homeowner's vision of enjoying leisurely patio times was obscured by the uneven ground beneath her feet.
Upon reaching out to our friendly Customer Care team, our dedicated process commenced towards finding a solution. A System Design Specialist visited the home to assess the problem firsthand. The diagnosis? Precision and care were imperative, and our solution came in the form of two powerful remedies: PolyLevel® and NexusPro®.
PolyLevel®, renowned for its ability to address uneven concrete with unparalleled finesse, was deployed. Lightweight yet sturdy, it was meticulously injected beneath the concrete, gently raising the patio back to its original position while providing a robust defense against future sinking. Completing our dynamic duo, NexusPro® sealed the deal—literally. This durable sealant embraced every cracked and worn joint, forming a watertight bond resilient against the elements and the passage of time.

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.

This recently purchased home in Circle Pines, MN, discovered the insulation in their attic hadn't been updated since the house was built in 1990, and they knew it was time for an upgrade.

When a homeowner in Blaine, MN noticed their driveway and walkways deteriorating more each year, they knew it was time for a professional intervention. Cracking concrete not only tarnishes the home’s appearance but can also lead to more substantial damage if neglected. That's when we got the call - it was time for DBS to step in and help. Our Customer Care team acted swiftly to get the ball rolling, scheduling a detailed home inspection to assess the situation firsthand. Our System Design Specialist carried out a comprehensive evaluation, identifying key problem areas that were contributing to the concrete's worsening condition.

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Anoka, MN, who was frustrated by the persistent puddle that formed every time they exited through the back door. This issue not only caused inconvenience but also raised concerns about potential worsening over time. The homeowner needed a solution that would eliminate the problem and provide lasting peace of mind.
After reaching out to our attentive Customer Care team, we promptly scheduled a home inspection to thoroughly assess the situation.

This advanced solution is designed to address concrete issues with optimal efficiency and minimal disruption.

Recently, a homeowner in Duluth, MN, contacted us with an urgent concern about rainwater pooling near their home, posing a risk of water damage and flooding in their basement. After reaching out to our Customer Care team, they were quickly scheduled for a home inspection to identify the source of the problem.
Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough walkthrough and diagnosed the issue: the uneven and sinking concrete around the home was failing to direct water away from the foundation. With a clear understanding of the situation, we recommended PolyLevel®—a state-of-the-art solution designed to lift and stabilize sinking concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel® is a strong, durable, and minimally invasive alternative.
Our team worked with precision, drilling small holes in the designated areas of the concrete and injecting the PolyLevel® foam. As the foam expanded, it raised the concrete back to its original position while ensuring it sloped away from the house, effectively addressing the homeowner’s water concerns.
By the end of the day, the work area was clean, the concrete looked as good as new, and most importantly, the homeowner could relax knowing that water would now flow away from their home.

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.
