Recently, a Saint Paul, MN homeowner reached out to us at DBS, troubled by sky-high heating bills reaching $1,000 a month due to an excessively cold attic addition. Prompted by their concern, our process began with a swift consultation from our Customer Care team followed by an on-site inspection carried out by a System Design Specialist. It didn’t take long to pinpoint the problem: inadequate insulation. We proposed a reliable fix—SilverGlo™ insulation. More than just filling in gaps, SilverGlo™ is engineered to provide superior thermal efficiency, offering both warmth in winter and coolness in summer, ideal for the diverse Minnesota climate.

Our skilled foreman and installers worked meticulously to install SilverGlo™ in the problematic area.

Tackling the flooding and humidity was a challenge they faced repeatedly, disturbing the peace and enjoyment of their home.

We recently had the opportunity to transform a damp, uneasy space into a dry, safe haven in a home out in Arden Hills, MN.

Facing a persistent musty smell from the basement bathroom that seeped up from the crawl space, a Saint Paul homeowner knew it was time for change. For 50 years, this underbelly of their home had been neglected, allowing the odors to become a permanent nuisance. Despite efforts to mask the smell with sprays, it was clear that a more permanent solution was needed. After reaching out to our attentive Customer Care team and scheduling an inspection, our System Design Specialist investigated the issue thoroughly. The diagnosis revealed a critical need for sealing and insulation—a solution we had ready with CleanSpace® and spray foam. CleanSpace® , a durable vapor barrier, was designed to encapsulate the area and prevent moisture, the main culprit of the musty odors. Combined with spray foam insulation, our solution aimed not only at eliminating the odor but also at improving the homeowner's energy efficiency. Our production team took charge, transforming the neglected crawl space into a clean, moisture-resistant zone. With expertise, they meticulously installed CleanSpace® along the crawl space's length, wrapping foundation walls to block any potential moisture entry. Spray foam insulation was then applied to protect the space from the Minnesota cold and enhance its waterproofing. Upon completion, the musty odor vanished immediately, providing a breath of fresh air—literally. The homeowner was left with a dry, odor-free basement bathroom and the added benefit of potentially lower energy bills. What began as a musty crawl space dilemma turned into a sigh of relief.

When persistent water intrusion transformed this Saint Paul homeowner's laundry room into a damp disaster, they knew they needed professional help. The before photo starkly illustrates the severity of the situation, showcasing not only the visible water damage but also the urgent threat it posed to their belongings and the overall integrity of the space. Mold and mildew were becoming real concerns, and the potential for costly repairs loomed large if the issue remained unresolved.

Understanding the critical nature of the problem, our experienced team at DBS arrived prepared to tackle the situation head-on. We assessed the laundry room to identify the source of the water intrusion and determined the best approach to ensure a long-lasting solution. Armed with our top-of-the-line systems, we set to work with a comprehensive plan that included the installation of WaterGuard®, IceGuard®, SmartSump™, and CleanSpace®.

WaterGuard® was the first line of defense. This innovative drainage system was installed along the perimeter of the room to efficiently collect and direct any water that may seep in, preventing it from pooling on the floor. With its unique design, WaterGuard® is not only effective but also discreet, allowing the homeowner to maintain the aesthetic of their laundry room.

Next, we installed IceGuard®, a critical component for protecting the drainage system during the cold winter months. IceGuard® prevents the pipes from freezing and clogging, ensuring that the water can always drain away from the home, regardless of the temperature outside.

To further enhance the water management system, we incorporated the SmartSump™ pump. This powerful sump pump is designed to quickly remove any water that enters the system, providing an added layer of protection against water intrusion. With its reliable performance, the SmartSump™ ensures that the laundry room remains dry even during heavy rainfall or snowmelt.

Finally, we applied CleanSpace®, a high-quality vapor barrier that seals off the walls and floors from moisture. This barrier is essential for preventing humidity from rising into the laundry room and protecting it from mold and mildew. It also enhances the overall appearance of the space, making it look clean and well-maintained.

The transformation is dramatically captured in the after photo, which showcases a completely dry, protected laundry room ready for stress-free use. The once-damp environment has been revitalized into a functional space where the homeowner can carry out their daily tasks without worry.

With no more concerns about water damage, they can now enjoy lasting solutions and peace of mind. Our team at DBS is proud to have provided a comprehensive and effective response to this homeowner's challenges, reaffirming our commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable solutions that enhance the safety and comfort of every home.

Previously, our customer in Arden Hills, MN, faced a significant challenge with their spacious but underutilized crawl space. This area, intended for storage and utility, had become a source of frustration due to persistent unwanted mice activity. The presence of these pests not only posed health concerns but also rendered the space largely unusable, diminishing the homeowner's ability to store seasonal items and affecting the overall value of their home. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive solution, the homeowner set two primary goals: to make the crawl space functional for storage and to enhance their property's value.

Our team at DBS stepped in to address these concerns with a targeted approach. First, we conducted a thorough assessment of the crawl space to identify the specific issues contributing to the pest problem and to evaluate the insulation needs. Armed with this information, we developed a comprehensive plan that included the installation of our CleanSpace® solution, high-quality spray foam insulation, and TerraBlock™ bottom crawl space insulation.

The CleanSpace® solution is a state-of-the-art vapor barrier system designed to keep moisture and pests out while creating a clean, bright environment. We began by meticulously cleaning the crawl space and removing any debris or remnants of pest activity. Once the area was prepared, we installed the CleanSpace® liner, which not only acts as a barrier against moisture but also creates a seamless, easy-to-maintain surface that enhances the overall appearance of the space.

In addition to the CleanSpace® liner, we applied spray foam insulation to the walls of the crawl space. This insulation provides superior thermal resistance and effectively seals any gaps or cracks, preventing air leaks that could compromise the home's energy efficiency. The spray foam also acts as an additional deterrent against pests, further protecting the space from unwanted intruders.

To address the floor of the crawl space, we installed TerraBlock™ bottom crawl space insulation. This robust insulation layer not only provides further protection against the cold but also adds an extra layer of moisture control, helping to keep the area dry and comfortable. The combination of these solutions creates an ideal environment for storage, free from the threat of pests and moisture.

The transformation is clearly evident in the photos. The after image showcases a seamless, clean area that is now ready for storage, reflecting a dramatic improvement over the previous condition. The once-neglected crawl space has been revitalized into a functional, inviting space that enhances the overall value of the home.

Our commitment to delivering durable, effective solutions has not only addressed the homeowner's immediate concerns but has also provided them with a clean environment that can be confidently used for storage. This project exemplifies our dedication to turning crawl space challenges into home improvement successes, ensuring that our clients can enjoy the full potential of their homes without the worries of pests or moisture. At DBS, we believe that every corner of your home deserves attention, and we take pride in transforming spaces to enhance both comfort and functionality for our valued customers.

The homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, was struggling with a persistently wet basement that was affecting their home's health and comfort. The "before" photo clearly shows the extent of the damage—moisture seeping through the floors and walls, leaving stains, encouraging mold growth, and creating a musty odor that lingered throughout the space. The homeowner was understandably frustrated, as this constant dampness not only ruined their basement but also threatened the structural integrity of their home.

After reaching out to us for a long-term solution, we knew we had to address the issue comprehensively. Our expert team came in and recommended two industry-leading solutions: CleanSpace® and the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System. CleanSpace® was installed along the walls to provide a high-performance vapor barrier that prevents moisture from seeping into the basement, ensuring the space stays dry and clean. The TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, known for its reliability, was carefully installed to manage water that could potentially enter the basement, offering three levels of protection to keep the basement dry in any situation.

At DBS, we recently helped a homeowner in White Bear Lake, MN, facing a challenging situation. Their chimney was settling, a clear sign of foundation issues, and their crawlspace was exposed to the outdoors, leaving it vulnerable and unsecured. Recognizing the severity of these problems, the homeowner reached out to us for a reliable solution to stabilize their foundation and restore peace of mind.

The process began with our friendly Customer Care team, who quickly scheduled a home inspection. A System Design Specialist from our Sales Team then conducted a thorough assessment of the affected areas and recommended the best solution. The plan was to install Push Pier supports to stabilize the settling chimney and EverBrace® to secure the exposed crawlspace, protecting it from the elements.

Our experienced production team, led by a skilled foreman, arrived to execute the plan. They installed the Push Pier system, effectively stabilizing the chimney and halting further settling. The EverBrace® system was then placed to reinforce and seal the crawlspace, adding security and ensuring it was no longer exposed to the outside.

The results were immediately noticeable. The chimney was securely anchored, preventing future settlement, while the crawlspace was protected, enhancing the overall stability of the home. After the work was completed, the site was thoroughly cleaned, leaving behind nothing but a job well done. This solution provided the homeowner with more than just foundation repair; it restored the safety and security of their home for the long term.
