This prospect in Lakeville, MN, faced issues with their hangar's office space regarding water and moisture wicking up from under the concrete slab in the hangar. They reached out to us at DBS, looking for a reliable solution that could not only fix the problem but also be a long-lasting remedy. After the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center, we scheduled a free, no-obligation inspection right away. Our Design Specialist Justin Mundahl visited the home to diagnose the issue at hand. It was found that subpar insulation in the office area's subfloor was leading to an inefficient heating situation throughout the cold Minnesota winters. The space needed some an insulation boost using SprayFoam© and TruSoft© cellulose. This insulation not only promised enhanced thermal efficiency but also was an ideal candidate for the heated and confined space that needed attention. Creating a few entry points in the subfloor of the office area, our production team, led by Foreman Kornell Green, proceeded to install the insulation. The homeowner noticed the difference right away, confirming that their office area felt warmer without having to crank up the heating. This not only provided a more comfortable living space, but pointed to reduced energy bills in their future.
Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, who was confronting an unsettling situation with the foundation of their home. This homeowner noticed visible settlement at the southwest corner of their garage, directly next to the driveway. Concerns were growing as the stability of the garage began affecting other parts of the house, including doors and windows that wouldn’t close properly. Before embarking on further home improvement projects, such as replacing the driveway, the homeowner knew this issue needed prompt and professional attention. After reaching out to us, our dedicated Customer Care team quickly set up an initial inspection to assess the depth of the settlement problem. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough walkthrough, identifying the key areas contributing to the structural instability. With a clear diagnosis, we proposed the installation of Push Pier systems as a targeted solution to effectively address the underlying foundation concerns. Our skilled production team went to work, meticulously installing the Push Piers at strategic locations to halt further settlement and lift the foundation back to its original position. Throughout the project, we were mindful of the homeowner’s request for improving the grade of the land during backfilling, ensuring that water would redirect away from the foundation to prevent future problems. Doors and windows no longer stuck, signaling a return to normalcy throughout the home. Thanks to our intervention, the homeowner now has the confidence to move forward with their driveway replacement and other desired improvements, resting assured that their home rests on a sturdy foundation.
Recently in Eagan, MN, a homeowner contacted us at DBS with a common concern in our field: their once sturdy concrete driveway had started showing significant wear and tear, marked by worrisome cracks that were becoming more prominent each day. Worried about potential damage escalation and the deteriorating appearance, the homeowner decided it was time for professional intervention before things worsened. Upon reaching out to our dedicated Customer Care team, we promptly scheduled a detailed home inspection with one of our System Design Specialists.
During the inspection, our specialist thoroughly assessed the situation and pinpointed the root cause of the concrete cracking. PolyLevel®, our preferred solution for concrete leveling and repair, was recommended to not only address the current damage but also prevent future issues. PolyLevel® is an advanced polyurethane injection foam known for its durability and precision in lifting and stabilizing sinking or settling concrete. Its quick application and setting time ensure efficient repairs without compromising quality or disrupting our customers' daily routines.
Under the expertise of our production team, led by a seasoned foreman and skilled installers, the PolyLevel® installation proceeded smoothly and cleanly.

Post-installation, meticulous cleanup ensured the area was restored to its original condition.
Upon completion, the transformation was remarkable. The unsightly cracks were eliminated, restoring the driveway to its former appearance. This not only enhanced the curb appeal of the property but also relieved the homeowner's concerns about escalating repair costs.

Understanding the importance of first impressions in the real estate market, they sought our expert assistance.
During the initial inspection, our System Design Specialist thoroughly evaluated the situation, diagnosing the underlying issues affecting the concrete. To address these challenges, we proposed a tailored solution involving PolyLevel® and NexusPro®.

NexusPro® was chosen to seal the cracks and joints, preventing further damage and providing a neat, finished appearance.
Once the homeowner approved the plan, our highly skilled production team took over. They precisely injected PolyLevel® beneath the slabs, watching as each section was lifted back to its proper level. After the leveling process was complete, they applied NexusPro to all the cracks and joints, effectively binding the slabs and safeguarding the concrete against future issues.
The job was completed efficiently, with minimal disruption to the homeowner’s daily routine, and the workspace was left clean and tidy. The results were outstanding—the driveway and walkways looked as good as new, smooth and even, with no visible cracks.
