Reliable Basement Finishing & Foundation Contractor in Hennepin County, MN.

This Minneapolis, MN homeowner was looking to update and finish an old basement bathroom. They reached out to DBS and spoke with Receptionist, Kristin Kramer, who helped book an appointment with System Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo. Henrik was able to give these homeowners a specific estimate to complete the basement bathroom and finish the basement ceiling. The homeowners were excited to get started on this project with DBS. Foreman Drew Sundberg and his crew set out to install the updated bathroom features and basement ceiling. For this project, DBS used the high-quality finishing products EverLast wall panels and Millcreek flooring. These products are perfect for basements, especially the Millcreek flooring, as it is mold and mildew resistant. 

This home in Saint Louis Park was experiencing some water issues and the homeowner wanted them taken care of. She called DBS and System Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen made a trip out to the home for a FREE, no-obligation estimate.

He inspected the foundation and explained to the homeowner the best possible solution. He explained that installing a waterproofing system would solve her problems. Along with the water problems, came cracks in the foundation wall from the pressure build-up. Letting the water problems go would only let the problem get worse with time. With this installation in place, the homeowner would no longer have to worry about the foundation problems.

A couple called DBS with a basement that was finished in the 70’s, the homeowners were no longer satisfied with the wood burning fireplace and wood panelling. The couple was also having trouble with the sliding door beginning to rot away. DBS constructed a plan to finish the basement into a beautiful, modern style that would match the style of the rest of the home. We also noticed that the couple would benefit from our concrete repair service in their garage. Because the couple also signed up for our PolyLevel concrete lifting service, their garage is now a safe, even environment for their family, and DBS is currently working on their basement for an overall enjoyable space to spend time together!

A couple in Minnetonka, MN called DBS looking for work on their crawl space and looking for a waterproofing and humidity solution in their house. They said that they had started to notice signs of mold in their house and they had never been in their crawl space prior to DBS coming to the house. The couple was looking to move in the near future and they were worried about the value of their house with these problems. Home Comfort Specialist, Steve Stern went to look at the house. Upon arrival, he immediately suggested our SaniDry Sedona to help with the household water and humidify problem. The SaniDry Sedona is very popular with DBS, it is known as a the ultimate dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona can create dry air results within a day of installation. Regarding work in the crawl space, we used our CleanSpace Liner with Drainage Matting for any water problems in there, the liner works to provide moisture control. After using our products and systems, the crawl space was made waterproof and less humid within days. Our customers followed up giving DBS a 10/10 review, very satisfied with the changes in their home!

DBS looked into a crawl space project that was cold and wet, so the homeowner called for an upgrade. We recommended installation of our SuperSump® system to replace the previous sump pump to manage the water in the house, then we suggested using a drainage mat in the crawl space to make sure any water that gets inside, goes back outside. We wanted to make sure the crawl space was clean so we used a liner in place of the dirt on the floor, then installed some insulation to make sure we could keep the crawl space clean, too. We’ve included a photo of the filter from the house before and after, with the new filter on the right. Below you’ll also see a photo of the dirty sump basin, showing some of the household images in a crawl space that may need DBS to resolve.

We received a call from homeowners in St. Louis Park that they had a wall that was cracked and bowing. They were concerned for the support in their home and wanted to stabilize the wall immediately. DBS went to the home to create a proposal for repairing the wall. Our Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, suggested the best method of repair was to use the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to make sure the wall was stabilized and safe for the homeowners. Here’s a photo of our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System showing how it connects deeply into the ceiling of the home for support and stabilization.

As the snow melts and spring comes, DBS becomes extremely busy working to waterproof our client's homes. All the water can become a problem for many homes, showing homeowners water problems that they didn’t know existed. DBS recently waterproofed a home in Mound, MN. The home required that we install a WaterGuard® system to manage the water, then install a TripleSafe™ pump system for the water in the home. We also installed a WaterWatch® Alarm System to notify when the water is not being managed efficiently. Between the different waterproofing system, the new sump pump with back up pumps, and the alarm for any water problems, the home will be safe from water damage into the future. 

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN was looking to completely revamp their basement into a more comfortable living area.

The main items would new flooring and carpet, wall panels, and a new finish to the ceiling. One unique feature of the wall panels installed by DBS is that they are fully resistant to mold, moisture, and mildew. The EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels are an ideal component when finishing any basement area. Aside from that, the crew also installed ThermalDry® Basement Floor Tiles.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to inspect the area and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for our waterproofing service.

The wall was experiencing some stairstep cracks running through the wall, which is a common sign of foundation settlement. Aside from that, they were experiencing some secondary issues with water leaking through the foundation. In need of some help, they had a Design Specialist from DBS come out and offer them a free, no-obligation inspection of the foundation and an estimate to repair.

It was determined that our crew would install the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to stabilize the foundation. This is one of the ideal solutions for repairing cracked or bowing walls. It entails two galvanized steel anchor plates (one interior and one exterior) embedded below the soil outside of the foundation wall. the plates are attached by a steel rod, and this creates a force that helps stabilize the wall immediately. Over time, the anchor system can be tightened and work to straighten any bowing walls. In this case here, the homeowner caught the issue before too much structural damage occurred. A photo of the interior portion of the wall can be seen attached here. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now feel more comfortable with their foundation wall.

A homeowner in Eden Prairie, MN was noticing that the foundation of their home was starting to settle, more specifically their balcony area.

In need of some help, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist come out to give them a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the repair. After a thorough walkthrough, it was determined that the home would need to have four helical piers installed around the balcony area in order to properly support and stabilize the structure. These piers are designed with galvanized steel and given a special helix form which allows them to penetrate existing soil and firmly plant below the balcony structure. More information on our helical deck piers can be found here. The results of the project turned out great, and the homeowner can feel more comfortable with the support for their home.

Foreman Emmary Thomas led the installation of this project with the help of a team.

Our metro team completed this challenging but successful residential foundation repair project in Eden Prairie. During the sales process, the customer expressed concern about potential damage to his existing rock retaining wall, particularly on the North side where equipment needed entry. Despite these challenges, our crew managed to carefully navigate the mini excavator to the bottom of the retaining wall.

The main focus was on addressing non-functional windows due to foundation settlement and achieving lift and level procedures. Unfortunately, due to the window issues, achieving a completely level floor proved challenging. However, in collaboration with the customer, a satisfactory compromise was reached – the windows were made functional, and the back corner of the floor was deliberately set 1/4” lower than the rest.

The customer responded was happy with the outcome and responded to a post project survey saying: "Excellent communication, quality work, very satisfied with everything." Special acknowledgment was given to Tate and Brice for their patience, politeness, and skill. Working with Jason was described as a pleasant experience, commending his prompt responsiveness and thorough explanations of all job aspects. The customer found the pricing fair and reasonable, expressing a high likelihood of recommending DBS to friends or neighbors.

Our team tackled a challenging project at the old school center, where the floor was experiencing frost heaving and settling issues during the summer. The hardwood floor failed to realign, leaving it uneven and in need of a solution. With only 4" - 1 foot of crawlspace room to work with, the customer opted to remove the center of the floor for the installation of a Smart Jack system with CIPs and frost protection.

The joists, which were originally resting on rocks, required a strategic approach. We successfully installed beams and performed necessary sistering to provide the needed support. Despite the tight space constraints and the intricate nature of the job, our team delivered exceptional results, achieving a significant lift. The customer expressed satisfaction with the outcome.

In the words of the customer in their review: "We were kept informed of the work being done; the process and expectations. Tate was friendly, a good communicator, efficient, and completed the job. The crew cleaned up when done and were respectful of our 130-year-old school... We were very satisfied with the work and would recommend your company and those working on the school. They were a good crew of men and worked well together."

This customer reached out to DBS after noticing cracks in their basement walls and on the outside of the house. With the intention of potentially renting out or selling their property, they wanted to make sure their basement was safe and wasn't going to cause any further issues in the future.

When our Design Specialist, Nicholas Corbin, went out to the property, he inspected the cracks and was able to relate them to a foundation issue. The foundation was settling and the house needed to be supported through the installation of interior piers and lifts.

Once our production crew was able to get out to the residents property, they were able to install our 3" Push Piers that have a low profile bracket underneath the foundation and lift it back into place. Once the products were installed, the homeowner was happy with the results and could be more comfortable renovating the basement for the future of the house.

This customer reached out to DBS after an energy audit identified two specific issues in their townhouse. The first issue was that the lower wall in the kitchen, under a bay window, is drafty which prompted the need for inner wall insulation. The basement housed the second issue where there was mold on the insulation near the ceiling, and the customer wanted this addressed urgently.

Once our Design Specialist was able to get out to the property and conduct a thorough inspection, they recommended a plan to remove the current fiberglass insulation and use our spray foam on the rim joists. Since there was mold in the rim joists, our production crew would have to spray around 102 square feet of Mold-X around the rim joist and subfloor in the utility room. Additionally, there would need to be a dense pack of insulation for the wall underneath the bay window in the kitchen. 

Once our production crew was able to get to the property, they evacuated the homeowner out of the property and sprayed the Mold X and installed the proper insulation. Once the project was complete, the customer was very happy with the results and communication provided by both the Design Specialist and production crew.

A homeowner contacted DBS for help with their foundation, which had developed cracks. The wooden posts supporting the porch and living room had sunk into the ground, causing instability. To address the issue, our design specialist proposed installing piers under the posts to provide additional support.

Our team arrived on site and installed three helical cabin piers, which successfully reinforced the beams. The homeowner was pleased with the results!

This homeowner contacted DBS after enduring a daily routine to bring their space heater upstairs just so they could warm the upstairs addition. They wanted proper insulation to alleviate this issue and finally have a warmer upstairs level.

Our Design Specialist visited the property and recommended a solution that involves a full installation of the attic.

When Kornell Green, our Foreman, and the crew went to the property, they installed 5 XL can light covers, air sealed and insulated the access points, baffles, and floors using our spray foam insulation. Once the spray foam insulation was complete, Kornell and the team secured the installation further by using our TruSoft Cellulose. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was very happy with the final result!

This customer reached out to DBS interested in our Total Basement Finishing services to remodel their laundry area and add a small bathroom to the space. Their basement was unfinished and needed a much-needed upgrade. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, he helped the homeowners construct the basement of their dreams.

Now, they have a new, finished basement for everyone to enjoy!

We recently tackled a series of insulation challenges at a customer's home, focusing on the kitchen's cold cantilever, a chilly room bordering the attic, and overall attic insulation. Here's a breakdown of what we did:

• Kitchen Cantilever: Applied spray foam below and dense packed above to keep the kitchen cozy.
• Cold Room: Ensured warmth by dense packing above and below, and using spray foam on the walls.
• Attic: Enhanced insulation by sealing access points, can lights, and installing new baffles.

Our foreman led the charge, going beyond by removing drywall for thorough insulation and upgrading the kneewall with extra spray foam. The interior pocket was expertly handled with spray foam and dense packing, resulting in a job well done as per plan.

Our customer, impressed by Cody's work, described him as hard-working, intelligent, and considerate. Cody's extensive insulation knowledge and dedication shone through as he explained every step and ensured top-notch work. His attention to detail, punctuality, and cleanliness made the customer feel at ease, trusting Cody and his crew completely.

Cody and his team, a knowledgeable and thorough bunch, not only delivered on quality but also made the experience easy and enjoyable for the customer. Their professionalism and care reflect our commitment to excellence in every project.

We recently had the pleasure of working on a rewarding concrete repair job in Osseo, MN. This homeowner reached out to DBS after noting how their sidewalk had significantly sunk – about 2" on average with a spot sinking a little over 3". Our approach to solving this homeowner’s problem began with a free, no-obligation, estimate. Our Design Specialist, Brian Baker, paid a visit to the property to understand the homeowner’s concerns and assess the situation firsthand. After a thorough inspection, he recommended a combination of PolyLevel®, an innovative foam injection for lifting and leveling concrete, and NexusPro®, a solution for sealing joints and cracks. Our Foreman, Nate, and Co-Foreman, Weston, lifted and leveled the front sidewalk and steps, addressing the uneven surfaces that posed trip hazards. Following the lifting, all joints and cracks were sealed with our NexusPro®, preventing future water damage and soil erosion underneath the concrete. After our work was done, the outcome was visibly uplifting. Not only was the uneven sidewalk leveled out, but the homeowner was thrilled with the revitalized appearance and structural integrity of their sidewalk. 

The homeowner contacted DBS after discovering that the concrete slab near the stoop had become a significant trip hazard. We knew that delivering a lasting solution was key, not just a temporary fix. Using PolyLevel's® advanced lifting technique, we lifted the slab back to its original position, restoring stability and levelness. To complete the process, we used NexusPro® to fill the cracks, providing both durability and an improved look. The result not only met but surpassed expectations, giving the homeowners peace of mind and a safer, more attractive entryway.

The worry of water leakage was a thing of the past, thanks to our dependable solution tailored specifically to their home's needs—providing peace of mind and a drier, healthier living environment for years to come.

Recently, a homeowner in Minneapolis reached out to us at DBS with concerns that settling concrete on their property had become a significant trip hazard for their mother, who relies on a walker for mobility. Understandably worried about the safety and accessibility of their home, they knew it was time to seek a professional solution. Upon contacting our team, we promptly arranged for a Systems Design Specialist to visit their home for a thorough inspection. Our specialist diagnosed the root of the problem and recommended a trio of solutions to not only fix the immediate issue but also prevent future hazards. Our recommendations included installing PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the sunken concrete, NexusPro® to seal cracks and joints, effectively warding off water and wear, and finally, SealantPro® to protect the concrete from further elements’ damage, ensuring it lasts longer without issues. Our production team, led by an experienced foreman and comprised of skilled installers, got to work, swiftly implementing our solutions. The installation process was smooth and efficient, causing minimal disruption to the homeowner's daily activities. After completing the job, we made sure to clean up the area, leaving it better than we found it. The outcome was immediate and transformative. The once hazardous walkway became safe and level again, eliminating the risk for the homeowner's mother and restoring peace of mind to their family. This job, like so many others we undertake at DBS, showcases our commitment to providing not just short-term fixes, but reliable, long-lasting solutions that enhance our customers' lives.

At DBS, we recently had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in St. Louis Park, MN, dealing with a common yet frustrating issue: tripping hazards from an uneven front walkway. The misaligned concrete slabs not only posed safety risks but also had an improper slope that failed to redirect water away from the foundation. Seeking a reliable and long-lasting fix, the homeowner reached out to our team to begin the journey toward a safer walkway.

After contacting our Customer Care team, we quickly scheduled a complete home inspection. One of our skilled sales team members, specializing in systematic design, visited the site to assess the issues and discuss a tailored solution with the homeowner. We recommended PolyLevel®—an innovative, durable, and efficient product specifically designed for concrete problems. This high-density polyurethane foam effectively raises and stabilizes sunken concrete, correcting uneven surfaces and sloping issues.

Our process began with the precision and expertise our foreman and skilled installers are known for. Small holes were drilled into the affected concrete sections, allowing PolyLevel® to be injected underneath until the slabs were lifted back to their original levels and the proper slope away from the house was achieved. We ensured prompt cleanup to leave the property in pristine condition.

By transforming a frustrating safety hazard, our team not only eliminated tripping risks but also prevented potential water damage due to the improper slope. The homeowner in St. Louis Park appreciated not only the quick and non-invasive nature of our work but also the value of a genuine solution that prioritized their safety.

In Eden Prairie, MN, we undertook the exciting transformation of a backyard oasis that had been compromised by a shifted pool deck—an essential priority on our homeowner's renovation list. The before photo starkly illustrates the wear and tear, as well as the safety hazards, that had developed over the years, detracting from the overall beauty and functionality of the outdoor space.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, our team employed PolyLevel® to stabilize and lift the uneven concrete slabs. This innovative solution allowed us to address the underlying issues effectively, resulting in a perfectly level and safe surface that can be enjoyed for years to come. The remarkable transformation is clearly showcased in the after photo, where the area looks revitalized and inviting.

To further enhance the longevity of our work, we applied NexusPro® to seal the joints and prevent future damage from water infiltration and shifting soil. This added layer of protection ensures that the pool deck remains in top condition, safeguarding against the elements and providing peace of mind to the homeowners.

This restoration not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the backyard but also guarantees years of worry-free enjoyment for the family. Our commitment to delivering durable and beautiful improvements is at the heart of what we do, reflecting our dedication to creating outdoor spaces that our clients can cherish for years to come.

When the homeowner first reached out to us, they were understandably alarmed to discover unwelcome visitors in their attic. This not only highlighted a serious insulation problem but also raised concerns about the overall health and safety of their home. The before photo vividly illustrates the extent of the issue, showing not only the pests but also the inadequate insulation that had allowed them to infiltrate the space.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, our team at DBS was quick to devise an effective solution. We opted to install SilverGlo™, a premium insulation product known for its superior thermal performance and radiant barrier properties. This innovative material is designed to reflect heat away in the summer and retain warmth in the winter, contributing to significant energy savings. Additionally, we complemented this with Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation, made from recycled paper, which is treated for pest resistance. This combination not only provides exceptional insulation but also adds an extra layer of protection against future pest intrusions.

The transformation is clearly evident in the after photo, where the attic now features a clean, well-insulated environment. This upgrade not only seals off potential entry points for pests but also dramatically enhances the home's energy efficiency. As a result, the living space below remains more comfortable year-round, with regulated temperatures and reduced energy costs.

Beyond the physical improvements, our work also provides the homeowner with peace of mind. Knowing that their attic is now secure and well-insulated allows them to focus on enjoying their home without the worry of pests or high energy bills. At DBS, we take pride in transforming homes like this one in Minneapolis, delivering dependable, long-lasting results that enhance both comfort and safety. Our commitment to excellence ensures that every project we undertake not only meets but exceeds our clients’ expectations, turning challenges into lasting solutions.

Transforming unsightly, uneven concrete can truly be a game changer for any homeowner, improving both safety and curb appeal. In Edina, MN, we faced a particularly challenging situation, as illustrated in the before photo. The uneven surfaces posed not only aesthetic issues but also potential hazards for the homeowners and their guests.

Thanks to a referral from Tate, who had previously installed piers for this home, we were given the opportunity to address these concerns with a lasting solution. Our team utilized advanced techniques and materials, specifically PolyLevel® and NexusPro®, to effectively remedy the situation. The after photo clearly demonstrates how we converted the problematic area into safe, stable, and visually appealing concrete surfaces.

Our method involved a careful evaluation of the underlying issues, followed by a precise application of PolyLevel® to lift and stabilize the concrete. NexusPro® was then used to seal any cracks and joints, ensuring long-term durability. This comprehensive approach not only provided a reliable fix but also underscored our commitment to delivering superior results and an exceptional customer experience. Homeowners can now enjoy a safe, attractive space, knowing they made a wise investment in their property’s value and appearance.

When faced with a tilted slab and a sinking sidewalk—major tripping hazards located right under the siding and the bottom of a door—a homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, urgently sought our help. The unstable condition of the walkway not only posed safety risks but also detracted from the home's overall appearance and value. The before photo clearly illustrates the challenges caused by the unpredictable Minnesota soil, which had led to substantial settling over time.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, our team sprang into action. We conducted a thorough assessment of the property to pinpoint the causes of the settling and determine the most effective solution. After evaluating the extent of the issue, we expertly injected PolyLevel®, a high-density polyurethane foam, to raise and stabilize the step and sidewalk. This innovative material is designed to expand and fill voids beneath the concrete, providing a robust lift while ensuring long-lasting support.

Once the PolyLevel® injection was complete, we took additional steps to enhance the stability and appearance of the area. We sealed the newly lifted surfaces with NexusPro® and SealantPro®, ensuring a crisp, level finish that is both durable and weather-resistant. The after photo vividly showcases the transformation, turning a hazardous walkway into a safe, smooth path leading to the home.

Our commitment to providing reliable, lasting solutions is evident in the results of this project. Not only did we address the immediate safety concerns, but we also enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the property. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind knowing that their walkway is secure, significantly reducing the risk of accidents.

Moreover, we pride ourselves on delivering remarkable customer care throughout the entire process. From our initial consultation to the final touches, our team focused on ensuring a seamless experience for the homeowner. This project not only reflects our dedication to quality and safety but also highlights our mission to empower homeowners with lasting solutions that enhance their living spaces.

In Minneapolis, one homeowner faced a daunting challenge with a brittle and damaged concrete slab, as starkly illustrated in the severe breaks visible in the before photo. The condition of the slab not only detracted from the overall aesthetic of the property but also raised serious concerns about safety. With visible cracks and weaknesses, the risk of further damage and potential accidents loomed large, prompting the homeowner to seek a reliable solution.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, our team at DBS quickly mobilized to assess the extent of the damage and determine the most effective approach for repair. We conducted a thorough inspection to identify the underlying support issues contributing to the slab’s deterioration. It became clear that simply addressing the surface problems would not suffice; a comprehensive solution was necessary to ensure long-term stability and safety.

Our innovative PolyLevel® solution emerged as the ideal choice. This cutting-edge method involves injecting a high-density polyurethane foam beneath the concrete slab. As the foam expands, it fills voids and provides critical support, effectively lifting and revitalizing the slab. This process not only addresses the immediate structural concerns but also enhances the slab's overall appearance, restoring its integrity.

The after photo beautifully highlights the transformation achieved through our dedicated efforts. Our team not only revitalized the slab but also took the extra step to repair the grout, ensuring a seamless finish that enhances the visual appeal of the area. The result is a safe, smooth, and attractive concrete surface that the homeowner can enjoy for years to come.

At DBS, we pride ourselves on our commitment to providing reliable repairs and an exceptional customer experience throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final touches, we prioritize clear communication and transparency, keeping the homeowner informed every step of the way. Our goal is to make the repair experience as smooth and stress-free as possible.

This project in Minneapolis stands as a testament to our dedication to quality and excellence. By addressing both the structural and aesthetic aspects of the concrete slab, we not only solved the immediate concerns but also reinforced our commitment to delivering lasting solutions that enhance the safety and beauty of homes. Homeowners can trust that with DBS, they are in capable hands, ensuring their properties remain secure and visually appealing for years to come.

In Superior, WI, a homeowner found themselves grappling with a significant foundation dilemma that felt overwhelming and intimidating. The foundation's shaky state raised serious concerns, as it potentially threatened to diminish the home's value by as much as $150,000—a staggering amount that weighed heavily on the homeowner's mind and contributed to sleepless nights. With the fear of losing their investment looming large, the need for a reliable and effective solution became paramount.

Understanding the urgency of the situation, the homeowner sought the expertise of DBS Residential Solutions, known for their commitment to restoring structural integrity and enhancing the safety of residential properties.

This innovative system features steel beams that are installed against the foundation walls, providing the necessary support to restore their strength and alignment. The effectiveness of our approach is vividly illustrated in the before and after photos, showcasing the dramatic transformation from a precarious foundation to a solid, secure structure.

But we didn’t stop there. Understanding that moisture control is essential to maintaining a healthy living environment and further protecting the foundation, we also installed the CleanSpace® SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier. This advanced system not only helps manage humidity levels but also significantly improves indoor air quality by eliminating excess moisture that can lead to mold growth and other air quality issues. With the SaniDry™ Sedona in place, the homeowner can breathe easy, knowing their home is not only structurally sound but also healthy.
