This Lake Elmo, MN homeowner reached out to DBS because they had been experiencing dampness in their basement, as well as some concern of small cracks in the foundation. Our System Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, made a visit to their home and discussed the best quality solution for their basement. The homeowner decided to move forward with DBS and Henrik's solution. Installation of PowerBaces and an Interior Waterproofing System were installed by Foreman, Kevin Steffey, and his crew. Once the products were installed, the customer was relieved to have a quality solution in place.

DBS received a call that there was a bowing wall in one of the basement bedrooms in their home. We went to their home for a no obligation, free resolution for their wall. The home required that we install a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to support the wall and straighten it. We also needed to add a tightening kit to ensure the brace system stays tight and supported into the future to maintain its structure.

Job Stories From Lake Elmo, MN
Concrete Repair in Lake Elmo, MN Transforming Cracked and Sagging Surfaces for Lasting Appeal

Recently, a homeowner in Lake Elmo, MN, contacted us about a frustrating issue: their uneven and cracked concrete patio. After previously attempting repairs that failed to hold, they were eager for a solution that would be both effective and long-lasting. That’s where we at DBS stepped in.

 

Understanding their desire for a smooth and attractive outdoor space, we devised a twofold solution using PolyLevel® and NexusPro®. Our process began with a call to our Customer Care team, followed by a thorough inspection from one of our specialists. We identified the key issues causing the concrete to settle and crack and developed a plan to not only address the immediate problems but also prevent future ones.

 

The installation went smoothly and efficiently. We injected PolyLevel® beneath the slabs to lift and level them, providing a stable foundation that resists further sinking or settlement. Next, we applied NexusPro® to seal the cracks and joints, protecting against water damage and future cracking. This combination not only restored the patio’s functionality but also revitalized its appearance, seamlessly blending with the rest of the homeowner’s outdoor retreat.

 

By the time we finished and cleaned up, the transformation was clear. The previously unsightly and uneven concrete patio had become a level, inviting space ready for summer barbecues and relaxation. This project serves as another reminder of why we do what we do—delivering reliable, durable solutions that enhance the safety and beauty of homes, improving homeowners' lives for the long term.
