Grand Marais's Premier Foundation Repair, Concrete Lifting & Leveling Contractor

In Grand Marais, MN, dealing crawl space water problems can feel like a constant battle. After a call with our Appointment Center, a free, no-obligation inspection was set up with Design Specialist Jake. After a thorough home inspection, it was clear that the crawl space needed to be waterproofed to protect the home from water damage and enhance the air quality inside. The diagnosis? A combination of a SuperSump© pump system to actively remove water, WaterGuard© for efficient drainage, and IceGuard© to prevent backups due to freezing, were the solutions our team recommended. Our production team got to work installing the SuperSump© pump. The WaterGuard© drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the crawl space to guide water efficiently into the sump pump, while the IceGuard© attachment ensured that even in the depths of Minnesota winters, the system would not fail due to ice blockages. The result? A transformed crawl space and one more homeowner who could rest easy knowing their home was protected from basement and crawl space water issues. Through each step, from initial contact to post-job cleanup, our team ensured the homeowner felt informed and confident in the solutions provided.

In Grand Marais, MN, a cabin owner sought to ensure the longevity of their serene retreat, noticing signs of wear in their crawl space due to nature's relentless pressure. To safeguard their beloved sanctuary, they turned to us. The journey commenced with the homeowner reaching out to our welcoming Customer Care team, leading to a thorough inspection by a System Design Specialist. They uncovered the intersection of time and nature's impact: sagging floor joists beneath, compounded by pervasive moisture infiltration. Our solution? Combining SmartJack® for structural reinforcement and CleanSpace® liner for moisture management.

The proposed strategy encompassed the installation of IceGuard® and WaterGuard® for efficient water drainage, alongside CleanSpace® for moisture prevention, and SmartSump™ for water extraction. The installation process proceeded seamlessly, with our adept team initiating by fitting the WaterGuard® system along the basement perimeter to capture wall and floor seam leaks. Following this, the SmartSump™ sump pump system was installed, crucial for promptly directing any incoming water outside. IceGuard® was incorporated to prevent discharge line blockages, providing reassurance during freezing winters.

SmartJack® provided the necessary strength to arrest and reverse floor joist sagging, ensuring a steadfast foundation. CleanSpace® then enveloped the area in a protective shield, guarding against dampness, mold, and pests - fortifying the cabin against nature's erosive forces. The execution was meticulous, courtesy of our proficient production team. Their meticulous efforts comprehensively addressed each issue, replacing uncertainty with stability and dryness.

The result transformed homeowner apprehension into tranquility, with the cabin's foundation poised for many more years of cherished memories, all thanks to our comprehensive approach to crawl space repair.

In their quiet home in Grand Marais, MN, this couple enjoys their space. Since learning about the colorless, odorless gas of Radon, they decided to get their house tested. They reached out to DBS and set up an appointment for a system design specialist to make a trip out to the home to test for this dangerous gas. After receiving the results that their radon levels were in the danger zone, the couple wanted to find the best quality solution. DBS was able to offer a radon mitigation system that would keep their radon levels at zero. This system includes a fan moisture guard, a deluxe noise reducer, and an exterior cover for the fan and switch. With this system, any radon from below the home’s foundation will be channeled to the outside of the home. Following a comfortable price agreement between the specialist and the couple, a date was set to have the production crew come out to perform the installation. Not long afterward, the crew came out and professionally installed the quality system, greatly alleviating the high radon levels. This couple in Grand Marais, MN no longer has to worry about the dangerous impacts of radon gas.
