Seeping Water in Iron River, WI Basement Fixed with WaterGuard® System

Homeowners in Iron River, WI had issues with water seeping up through their concrete slab in the basement. As evidenced in the before photo, this basement has an issue with hydrostatic pressure - a phenomenon in which high pressure from ground water causes water to seep through solid concrete. Looking for a permanent solution for the water issue, they contacted DBS after hearing our ad on local radio.

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing system. A DBS Foreman and crew installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, that will direct all moisture to a new TripleSafe™ Sump Pump. This pump system has a battery backup that provides several hours of additional protection against water damage if your primary pump fails for any reason, such as during a power outage.

DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his production team installed all of our basement repair products to give this basement solid protection for years to come.

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home and water damage Rich recommended installing our WaterGuard® subfloor french drainage system paired with a TripleSafe™ sump pump. This system will never need to be emptied by the homeowner and is installed with a nationally-backed warranty. WaterGuard® sits flush with the floor and can be completely hidden with tile, carpet, or wood flooring. 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his production crew. This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!

The owner of this structure noticed cracking in the walls of the foundation along with water leaking through the walls. They have recently been thinking about reselling the property, and in hopes of finding a solution to increase the resale value of her property, they contacted DBS solutions.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After completing a thorough inspection, Henrik suggested that this property would greatly benefit from DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman Osia Williams completed this project along with his team, and they successfully installed 2 PowerBrace™ I-beams that will correct bowing and prevent further cracking over time. DBS consulted with the owner upon completion of the first project to come back a second time in order to install waterproofing materials.

The owner of this property can now think clearly about potentially reselling the property now that they are assured the foundation is sound, sturdy, and stabilized.

Job Stories From Iron River, WI
Iron River, WI Recreation Slab Restored with Push Pier for Lasting Stability & Memories

In Iron River, WI, a family faced a growing concern with their cherished recreation slab, which had been the backdrop for countless memories of outdoor fun and family gatherings. Over time, however, the slab began to experience significant instability, slowly settling and shifting in a way that threatened not only the safety of the space but also the priceless moments it had hosted. As seen in the "before" photo, the slab was visibly destabilizing, creating an uncertain future for the area that had once been a source of joy and relaxation. 

 

With safety now a priority, the family knew they needed a reliable solution to restore the integrity of the space, ensuring it could continue to serve as a safe and welcoming environment for their loved ones. That's when they turned to us at DBS for expert advice and support. After assessing the situation, we recommended our Push Pier system—a proven and effective method of stabilizing and lifting sinking or settling slabs.

 

The Push Pier system works by driving steel piers deep into the earth, anchoring the foundation and providing the necessary lift and support to restore the slab to its original position. This approach offers long-lasting stabilization and is perfect for situations where slabs have been compromised by shifting soil or other environmental factors. With our team’s expertise, we were able to address the problem efficiently and effectively, ensuring the slab was safely and securely restored.

 

As shown in the "after" photo, the transformation was immediate and impressive. The slab was lifted back to its rightful position, stabilizing it and providing a solid foundation for continued use. The family could now enjoy their outdoor space once again, with confidence in the safety and durability of the area. What was once a growing safety concern had been expertly resolved, allowing the homeowners to return to their cherished recreational space without worry.

 

This project highlights the core of our mission at DBS: to deliver peace of mind to homeowners through durable, expertly executed repairs. By addressing the root cause of the problem with our Push Pier system, we not only restored the slab’s structural integrity but also ensured the family could continue to create memories in the space for years to come. Our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction shines through in every job we undertake, and this transformation serves as a testament to our dedication to helping homeowners protect their homes and the memories they hold dear. With DBS, you can trust that your home stands strong, no matter what challenges arise.

Insulation in Iron River, WI

This homeowner in Iron River, WI, had a common issue in colder climates: troublesome ice dams on their roof. Wanting to prevent the damaging cycle of ice buildup and thawing, which posed threats to both safety and energy efficiency in their home, they decided it was time to seek professional assistance and contacted our team at DBS. After scheduling an inspection a knowledgeable System Design Specialist from our Sales Team conducted a thorough assessment of the property, swiftly identifying the underlying issue. The home's insulation, particularly in the attic, was inadequate for preserving warmth and blocking out cold air—an essential factor in ice dam formation. Equipped with this understanding, we proposed a durable and effective solution: the installation of Tru-Soft™ cellulose insulation. Renowned for its exceptional insulating properties, this product is tailor-made for environments like the one found in Iron River. Tru-Soft™ cellulose isn't just any insulation; its unique composition reflects heat back into the home, ensuring warmth where it's most needed while preventing cold air from infiltrating through the attic—a critical battleground where many homeowners face their toughest challenges with energy efficiency and ice dams. The installation process itself was carried out with utmost professionalism and dedication. Our highly skilled production team, led by a foreman and supported by several installers, executed the solution flawlessly. Upon completion, not only was every piece of Tru-Soft™ cellulose precisely installed, but the work area was also left in pristine condition.

Attic Insulation in Iron River, WI

This Iron River, WI homeowner reached out to us with a pressing issue—their group home was under siege by persistent ice dams each winter. Ice dams can cause significant damage if left unchecked, and our new friend was in need of expert assistance.

After contacting our Appointment Center, a free, no-obligation inspection was quickly arranged with Design Specialist Heidi. Upon inspection, it was evident that the rooftop woes stemmed from inadequate insulation, allowing heat to escape and snow to melt and refreeze at the edge of the roof. We recommended our trusted truSoftcellulose insulation as the game-changing solution. Not just any insulation, truSoftboasts impressive energy-saving properties, keeping homes snug and preventing warm air from giving those ice dams any chance to form. Our dedicated production crew, led by Foreman Nicholas, transformed the attic into an ice dam-free space, ready to take on any weather.

Attic in Iron River, WI Newly Insulated

The owner of this lake home in Iron River, MN reached out to DBS to insultate an addition they completed on the home.They knew that properly sealing the space would ensure its longevity and support the rest of the home as well.

Our Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for the project. He visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the insultation job and recommended installation of our Dr. Energy Saver® SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation.

Our DBS production crew first completely removed the existing insualtion. They then sealed the space, paying particular attention to sealing all visible cracks in between the building material. This will assist in holding in heated air, and prevent ice dam build-up. Once that was complete, they installed SilverGlo™ insulation, thoughly lining the attic space.
