In Chisholm, MN, we encountered a homeowner who had the issue of keeping their basement dry. The water entering the basement was starting to create damage to their home leading them to contact us in search of a reliable solution. After a thorough examination, it became apparent that the best route to a dry basement was to fix the concrete sidewalks using PolyLevel® and NexusPro®- our top-notch solutions for concrete repair and sealing. PolyLevel® , an innovative foam solution, was utilized to level and stabilize the concrete foundation, effectively addressing any unevenness that would allow water to pool and enter the basement. Following this, NexusPro® was applied to seal joints and cracks in the concrete, creating a waterproof barrier against moisture intrusion. Our dedicated production team, consisting of a skilled foreman and diligent installers, swooped in to perform the work with precision.

Following the concrete repair the team installed an effective waterproofing system to put an end to their worries. We proposed a tailored solution that included the installation of CleanSpace® , IceGuard® , a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, and WaterGuard®. Each of these products plays a pivotal role in our waterproofing system – CleanSpace® to keep walls dry, IceGuard® to ensure proper sump pump discharge even in freezing temperatures, a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump for relentless water evacuation, and WaterGuard® for efficient water collection and rerouting The process began with the careful installation of the CleanSpace® liner across the basement walls to create a moisture barrier. Next, we introduced the WaterGuard® at the basement's perimeter, a tried and true method to catch any water entering the space and channel it away. The IceGuard® system was attached outside, ensuring that even the harshest winter wouldn’t impede the expulsion of water. Lastly, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump was positioned strategically - its triple pump design promising round-the-clock defense against water accumulation. Thanks to the combined efforts of our team and the innovative solutions provided, the homeowner now enjoys a dry basement and the peace of mind that their water troubles are a thing of the past.

This customer contacted DBS after noticing that their stairs were settling on the outside of their house and on the sidewalk leading out to the driveway. Due to their age, the uneven concrete steps were a concern for them, especially during winter. When our Design Specialist, Jake Thomas, went out to the property, he recommended installing PolyLevel® underneath the concrete of both the sidewalk and the stairs to even out the concrete. PolyLevel uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part formula allow for accurate leveling of the slab. This makes the concrete lift a waterproofed repair as well so it is much more permanent than mudjacking and other common concrete repair methods.
