Experienced Basement Finishing Contractors serving Nisswa, MN

Recently in Nisswa, MN, we had the opportunity to address a pressing issue for homeowners who noticed troubling signs in their kitchen. They observed a subtle yet persistent shift in their flooring and cabinets, which became apparent when cooking oil began to slide to one side of the pan. This subtle incline raised concerns about potential damage extending to their crawlspace or basement. Determined to ensure their home’s stability and safety, they contacted us for a comprehensive solution.

Our expert System Design Specialist conducted a thorough evaluation of the home and confirmed that foundational issues were causing the shifting. Without intervention, the integrity of the kitchen could be compromised, potentially leading to collapse into the crawlspace or basement below. To address these concerns, we recommended the PowerBrace™ system, which offers a strong, reliable fix to stop further movement and stabilize the home’s structure. This steel bracing system is designed to prevent further bowing and correct the shifting efficiently.

On installation day, our skilled production team meticulously set up the PowerBrace system, ensuring each bracket was correctly positioned for optimal performance. The result was a corrected shift in the kitchen and eliminated concerns about potential collapse.

We also identified moisture intrusion in the basement as a contributing factor to the home's instability. To combat this, we proposed a combination of key products: CleanSpace® for encapsulation, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, UltraSump™ System, and IceGuard®. CleanSpace protects against moisture, the sump pumps efficiently remove water, and IceGuard prevents backups from freezing conditions—an essential feature for Minnesota winters.

Our experienced team, led by a dedicated foreman, executed the waterproofing project with precision, ensuring each component worked together to enhance the home’s resilience. By the end of the project, we not only restored the homeowners' peace of mind but also significantly improved their home’s defense against future moisture and structural issues.

The congregation of this church in Nisswa, MN was concerned about the hazardous concrete around the outside of the church.Wanting to find the best possible solution, a designated member contacted DBS to come out for a free, no-obligation estimate.

System Design Specialist, Rich Johnson made a trip out to the church and did a thorough inspection of the concrete and explained the best possible solution. This lasting solution included injecting a polymer solution beneath the concrete to lift and level it.

Once the concrete was even, the cracks would be sealed to help prevent further damage. After a signed proposal, a date was set to have Foreman, Drew Sundberg and his crew come out to install the product. Following a professional installation, the church members no longer had to worry about the uneven concrete.
