Eveleth's Trustworthy Foundation & Carwl Space Repair Contractor

Recently, DBS addressed a common issue faced by homeowners in Eveleth, MN. A local resident contacted us about a noticeable crack in their basement wall and sought a quick resolution so they could proceed with their plans to transform their basement into a stunning living space. 

Upon receiving their inquiry, our Customer Care team promptly scheduled a home inspection. During our visit, we not only conducted a thorough assessment but also built a reassuring rapport with the homeowner. Our Sales Team's System Design Specialist evaluated the situation and determined that the basement wall required a durable, long-term solution. 

We recommended the PowerBrace™ system, known for its reliability in securing and straightening basement walls. This choice wasn't arbitrary; its effectiveness and longevity aligned perfectly with the homeowner's needs. Our foreman, Osia, and installer, Rowan, executed the installation with expertise and efficiency. Despite the complexity of the process, their dedication to maintaining a clean work area and minimizing disruption made the experience smooth and hassle-free. 

After installation, the results were impressive. The crack was gone, and the previously problematic wall now stood strong and stable, ready to be part of a beautifully finished basement. This project, like many others at DBS, highlighted our commitment to providing not just effective solutions but also a dependable, professional, and exceptional experience.

When a concerned homeowner in Eveleth, MN noticed water stains and mold appearing along the north and west walls of their basement, they knew they had to act fast. The existing waterproof system they had in place wasn't holding up, and although the sump pump worked for the south wall, it wasn't enough to combat the moisture infiltrating their home. Our Appointment Center team promptly scheduled a visit from a System Design Specialist who, after a thorough inspection, pinpointed the root causes of their damp basement issues. They recommended our durable WaterGuard® system! Our experienced team undertook the challenge, strategically navigating around the relocated utilities and crafting a pathway for efficient water management and moisture control. As we completed the installation and cleanup, the family was relieved to find their basement free from the oppressiveness of mold and the mar of water stains.

Our Foreman Jared and crew worked diligently on a job to address the customer's longstanding desire to preserve their family house, dating back to the 1930s. The customer's primary goal was to maintain the historical integrity of the home while improving its functionality. They aimed to install insulation to enhance warmth and regulate moisture levels to improve air quality. However, the job came with its challenges, notably the significant debris in the attic, necessitating thorough removal before insulation installation. Additionally, the cramped conditions in certain areas required specialized labor, accommodating a smaller worker. Although there was an opportunity to suggest additional structural supports, the customer opted against major renovations, focusing instead on stabilizing the floor and ensuring effective sealing. The team also facilitated the installation of smart drainage systems to manage moisture effectively. In the end, the customer commended Jared and his colleague for their hard work and thoroughness, expressing gratitude for their attention to detail and respectful handling of valuable items during the encapsulation process.
