When the homeowner contacted us, they were dealing with a consistently damp basement that had become more of a hassle than just Ellen's sewing studio in Cornell, WI. Fed up with bailing out water and fighting against moisture and odors, they realized it was time for a change. The before photo clearly shows the issues—a space no one would want to use. After our intervention, as shown in the after photo, we've transformed the area using our effective WaterGuard® drainage system, DryTrak®, TripleSafe™ Sump Pump for exceptional water removal, IceGuard® to prevent winter clogs, and the SaniDry™ Sedona to maintain a dry, fresh atmosphere.

Job Stories From Cornell, WI
Solving Basement Water Issues in Northwestern Wisconsin with WaterGuard and DryTrak

In the quiet town of Cornell, WI, a homeowner was facing a particularly challenging predicament. Tired of the never-ending cycle of bailing water out of the basement, which also doubled as Ellen's cherished sewing studio, the situation had grown unbearable. The musty smell and the realization that the problem would only worsen without intervention led them to reach out to us for help. No one should have to see their passion projects or hobbies ruined by water damage; at least, that's what we believe at DBS.

 

Upon contacting us, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a thorough home inspection. Our highly experienced System Design Specialist assessed the issues and developed a customized waterproofing solution. This comprehensive plan included the WaterGuard® interior drainage system, the DryTrak® perimeter drainage system, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, and the IceGuard® discharge line system.

 

Once the homeowners approved the proposal, our production team swiftly installed the products with great care and respect for the property. The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump provides reliable protection during heavy rainfall, while the WaterGuard® system efficiently channels water away from the foundation. The DryTrak® system, designed for homes without a footer, ensures effective drainage even in challenging basement conditions. The SaniDry™ Sedona significantly improves air quality, and the IceGuard® discharge line system prevents blockages from freezing, ensuring year-round functionality.

 

The results were remarkable, transforming the basement from a damp, problematic space into a dry, fresh-smelling area, perfectly suited for the homeowners' needs. Throughout the process, our commitment to delivering outstanding customer service and dependable solutions was evident, ensuring peace of mind and lasting satisfaction for the homeowners.

Solution for Sagging Floors in Cornell, WI

This home in Cornell, WI was suffering from sagging floors throughout the living areas. This is caused by foundation settlement as well as a lack of stable support under the home. As the structure settles into the ground over time, sagging floors can become a problem.

A way to fix this is by using a jack system. Here at DBS, we use the SmartJack® Support System. 

This jacking system evenly distributes the weight of the structure above and stabilizes the home. Once stable, the jacks can be adjusted in order to raise the flooring above and create an even surface once again.

Reach out to DBS today for your home improvement needs!

Solution for Bowing Walls in Cornell, WI

This home in Cornell, WI was suffering from bowing foundational walls in the basement. Left unaddressed, this problem can continue to worsen and eventually lead to total wall failure and collapse. The owner of this home wanted to address this situation, so they reached out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and assisted the owner in this inspection and recommended our PowerBrace® Wall Support System. This system uses steel i-beams to stabilize the wall and prevent any further movement. These beams can also be adjusted in order to restore the wall back to its original position.

Does this remind you of your home? Reach out to DBS today for your wall support needs!

The owners of this home in Cornell, WI reached out to DBS looking for help with their concrete repair needs. Part of the concrete garage floor began settling, leaving cracks and an uneven surface.

This eco-friendly foam is injected underneath the concrete slab. Once injected it expands and hardens in order to lift and stabilize the concrete areas. This is a permanent solution for concrete repair needs!

Hi, I have 1 bad floor joist where the floor sinks in a bedroom. Also I don't know if I have more bad joist because in the main room there is a dip in middle of floor. I can not see those joist from the basement because there is drywall up in that spot. Just wondering if I could get a free estimate on getting it fixed. Thank you!
