Recently in Hayward, WI, we encountered a homeowner grappling with ongoing water damage that not only drained their finances but also obstructed their future plans. They had already invested over $21,000 in temporary solutions and sought a permanent fix to protect their home's value as they prepared to move closer to family in Madison. Upon reaching out to us, we quickly sent our System Design Specialist to conduct a thorough assessment. It became clear that the basement urgently needed our WaterGuard® and CleanSpace® systems—two proven solutions that transform damp, undesirable basements into dry, healthy spaces.

We installed WaterGuard®, our premier basement waterproofing system, around the perimeter to capture water at its most common entry point—the joint where the floor meets the wall. Additionally, our CleanSpace® wall system provided a robust moisture and vapor barrier, further shielding the basement from humidity and water vapor, which are often responsible for mold growth and unpleasant odors. 

With these systems in place, the homeowner could finally relax. The installation not only addressed the immediate water issues but also ensured long-term protection against moisture threats.

When a homeowner in Hayward, WI noticed their stairs starting to sink away from their home due to a settled slab, they knew they needed a professional solution and reached out to us at DBS.

Upon inspection, one of our experienced System Design Specialists discovered the root of the issue and recommended the perfect solution: PolyLevel® and NexusPro® installations. PolyLevel®, a durable and lightweight foam, was strategically injected beneath the slab to raise and stabilize the sinking stairs, offering a long-lasting solution without the mess of traditional mudjacking. NexusPro® was then used to seal joints and cracks, preventing future water infiltration and ensuring the longevity of the repair.
