Foundation Repair & Concrete Repair Contractor serving Minneapolis, MN

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recently, a homeowner in Duluth, MN, contacted us with an urgent concern about rainwater pooling near their home, posing a risk of water damage and flooding in their basement. After reaching out to our Customer Care team, they were quickly scheduled for a home inspection to identify the source of the problem.

Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough walkthrough and diagnosed the issue: the uneven and sinking concrete around the home was failing to direct water away from the foundation. With a clear understanding of the situation, we recommended PolyLevel®—a state-of-the-art solution designed to lift and stabilize sinking concrete. Unlike traditional mudjacking, PolyLevel® is a strong, durable, and minimally invasive alternative.

Our team worked with precision, drilling small holes in the designated areas of the concrete and injecting the PolyLevel® foam. As the foam expanded, it raised the concrete back to its original position while ensuring it sloped away from the house, effectively addressing the homeowner’s water concerns.

By the end of the day, the work area was clean, the concrete looked as good as new, and most importantly, the homeowner could relax knowing that water would now flow away from their home.

When a Minneapolis homeowner noticed water creeping into their basement every time it rained, they knew they needed a reliable solution—and fast. Concerned about long-term damage and the hassle of constantly dealing with the mess, they reached out to us at DBS for help. Understanding the urgency of the situation, our Customer Care team swiftly scheduled a home inspection.

Our System Design Specialist visited the home, meticulously inspecting the affected area to diagnose the root cause of the water intrusion. We discovered that part of the house was particularly vulnerable to leakage, necessitating a strategic waterproofing solution. To ensure minimal disruption to the home's aesthetic and functionality, we recommended discreetly installing a SmartSump™ in a closet area.

Our solution included installing WaterGuard®, our innovative below-floor drainage system designed to capture wall and floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor. To manage the collected water, we installed our reliable SmartSump™ system in the selected closet area, keeping it out of sight while fully functional. Additionally, we utilized CleanSpace® on the walls—an ultra-durable vapor barrier that blocks moisture and directs it to the WaterGuard® system, effectively keeping the basement dry and protected.

The outcome was nothing short of remarkable. Our production team expertly installed the waterproofing system, ensuring every component was perfectly in place and operational.

Recently, a homeowner in Minneapolis contacted us at DBS with a unique challenge. They were in the process of finishing their basement and adding a new bathroom when their plumber made a startling discovery.

Imagine their concern: What began as an exciting home improvement project suddenly turned into a potentially dangerous situation.

To address this, our Design Specialist recommended dense packing the walls and ceiling, totaling 378 sq ft on the first floor and 440 sq ft on the second floor for a more comfortable environment for gatherings.

A customer reached out to DBS because they noticed that their sidewalk was uneven and had cracks, and wanted to fix the issue. To assess the situation, our Design Specialist visited the property and recommended using our PolyLevel® foam to lift and level the slab. Additionally, they suggested sealing the cracks with our NexusPro® concrete sealant to prevent water from entering and causing further damage.

After getting approval from the customer, our crew went out to the property and successfully adjusted the concrete back to its original position using the PolyLevel® foam. They also sealed the cracks with our NexusPro® concrete sealant to prevent any future damage. The results were simply amazing!

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.

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.

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 project was complete, the homeowner was very happy with the final result!

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.

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.
