Recently, we had the pleasure of helping a homeowner in Washburn, WI, who was facing a common yet troubling issue: their crawlspace was causing mold and unpleasant smells throughout their house.

Upon contacting our Appointment Center, we quickly scheduled a visit to their home for a thorough inspection. One of our experienced Design Specialists assessed the situation and discovered that water intrusion in the crawlspace was the main culprit behind the mold and odors.

Our production team got to work, efficiently installing the recommended products. The transformation was remarkable. CleanSpace© sealed off the crawlspace, providing a durable barrier against moisture. WaterGuard© ensured any water entering was swiftly captured and redirected to the TripleSafe© Sump Pump, which then expelled the water from the premises, effectively safeguarding the home against future moisture problems. The outcome was everything the homeowner hoped for and more. Not only was the mold and odor issue rectified, but the solutions we installed offered the homeowner peace of mind knowing their home was now protected against similar issues in the future.

In Iron River, WI, a family faced a growing concern with their cherished recreation slab, which had been the backdrop for countless memories of outdoor fun and family gatherings. Over time, however, the slab began to experience significant instability, slowly settling and shifting in a way that threatened not only the safety of the space but also the priceless moments it had hosted. As seen in the "before" photo, the slab was visibly destabilizing, creating an uncertain future for the area that had once been a source of joy and relaxation.
With safety now a priority, the family knew they needed a reliable solution to restore the integrity of the space, ensuring it could continue to serve as a safe and welcoming environment for their loved ones. That's when they turned to us at DBS for expert advice and support. After assessing the situation, we recommended our Push Pier system—a proven and effective method of stabilizing and lifting sinking or settling slabs.
The Push Pier system works by driving steel piers deep into the earth, anchoring the foundation and providing the necessary lift and support to restore the slab to its original position. This approach offers long-lasting stabilization and is perfect for situations where slabs have been compromised by shifting soil or other environmental factors. With our team’s expertise, we were able to address the problem efficiently and effectively, ensuring the slab was safely and securely restored.
As shown in the "after" photo, the transformation was immediate and impressive. The slab was lifted back to its rightful position, stabilizing it and providing a solid foundation for continued use.

What was once a growing safety concern had been expertly resolved, allowing the homeowners to return to their cherished recreational space without worry.
