The homeowner of this Deerwood, MN home was concerned about the stability of their foundation. There were stair-step cracks running down the walls and it was slightly bowing inward. After calling DBS, a design specialist came out for a free, no-obligation estimate.

He inspected the home and then proposed a solution along with an estimate that same day. This quality solution included a helical anchor system to pull the wall back into place and stabilize it. Because there were also water issues found in the foundation, the solution included a waterproofing system.

With a signed proposal, a date was set to have the production crew come out to install the high-quality solution. The production crew then came out and professionally installed the waterproofing and helical anchor system. With this solution in place, the homeowner no longer had to worry about the unstable foundation.

A cabin owner in Deerwood, MN reached out to DBS for help protecting their cabin's basement. Foundation cracks were allowing cold air and water to seep into the basement, and this was taking its toll on the overall health of the home.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation and insulation support. Our production crew first excavated the wall and performed the foundation support using helical tiebacks. We then used a suite of our Dr. Energy Saver® insulation products to provide further weather proofing and air sealing support.

SentrySeal® is a rubber membrane that we used as the initial layer to seal the space. We then applied a layer of dimple matting to guide any moisture away from the foundation. We then installed a layer of our SilverGlo™ insulation. This rigid foam insulation is infused with graphite, making its R-value up to 25% to that of traditional foam insutlations. 

This home is now protected from further foundation trouble and sealed properly using Dr. Energy Saver® technology.

Job Stories From Deerwood, MN
Crawlspace Waterproofing in Deerwood, MN

A homeowner in Deerwood, MN, was facing issues with their crawlspace. The homeowner contacted us because they were concerned about water damage in their crawlspace, understanding that it could lead to larger, more expensive issues down the line if not addressed. Following our standard procedure, our Customer Care team swiftly scheduled a home inspection appointment. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough evaluation of their crawlspace. Identifying moisture and the potential for mold growth as key issues, we recommended the installation of our SmartSump™ and CleanSpace® product. SmartSump™ is a crawl space drainage system is specially designed for crawl spaces and CleanSpace® is a durable, waterproof lining designed to encapsulate and protect the area from water intrusion and damage. Production meticulously installed CleanSpace® , ensuring every inch of the crawlspace was covered and adequately protected from moisture. The process involves securing the lining to the walls and floors, creating a vapor barrier that locks out moisture and improves the overall health of the home. The homeowner instantly noticed a difference in the air quality inside their home and experienced peace of mind knowing the foundation of their house was secured against the previously imminent threat of water damage. Through this process, we were able to not only solve the homeowner's immediate problem but also safeguard their home against similar issues in the future.

Concrete Repair in Deerwood, MN

Recently, our team at DBS had the opportunity to help out a homeowner in Deerwood, MN. They reached out to us with the concern that their concrete walkway had begun to settle, creating a noticeable and dangerous tripping hazard right at their door walkout. Understanding the urgency of the situation, our Appointment Center scheduled a free, no obligation inspection. Our Design Specialist, Jake, visited the home and examined the affected area. After a comprehensive evaluation, we recommended incorporating PolyLevel©, NexusPro©, and SealantPro©. Our production team went to work and injected PolyLevel© foam to lift and level the sunken slabs, and NexusPro© to seal the gaps and joints, further preventing water infiltration and future damage. For the finishing touch, SealantPro© was applied to protect the concrete against harsh elements and extend its lifespan, ensuring a solution that's built to last. The previously hazardous walkway was not only safe and level, but looked as good as new. The homeowner was left pleased with the outcome, relieved to see the risk eliminated and their home’s appearance enhanced.

Under Insulated home in Deerwood, MN

This Deerwood, MN home was under insulated. After doing some research, the homeowner called DBS to set up an appointment to have a design specialist come out for a FREE, no-obligation estimate. System Design Specialist, Steve Stern came out to the home and after a thorough inspection wrote up an estimate for the best possible solution.

This included removing the fiberglass and spray foam from the crawlspace and putting blow-in cellulose insulation. All of the vents around the home should be sealed properly to reduce as much air escape as possible. This solution would slow down the air movement in the home making it easier to keep a neutral temperature leading to lower energy bills. The homeowner would no longer have to worry about the homes energy efficiency.

I have a block retaining wall surrounding a boathouse and one of the walls is bowing. Otherwise it appears to be in pretty good shape and would rather repair than try to rip and replace. This is a seasonal home and not sure how long the wall has been there, thanks.
