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.
The results speak for themselves— the "after" photo showcases a basement that is completely transformed. No longer plagued by moisture, the space is now dry, clean, and protected from future water damage. Thanks to our expert installation of CleanSpace® and TripleSafe™, the homeowner can now enjoy a dry, healthy basement without worrying about water intrusion. We didn’t just repair the damage; we provided peace of mind knowing the homeowner now has a reliable, long-lasting waterproofing solution. This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering exceptional service and dependable, lasting results for every homeowner.
At DBS, we pride ourselves on turning homeowners' concerns into comfort, and a recent project in Saint Paul perfectly exemplifies this commitment. A homeowner reached out to us, worried about significant concrete issues affecting their property. The before photo clearly illustrates the challenges they faced: an uneven surface that not only created an eyesore but also posed risks of tripping and further deterioration. The instability of the concrete was a source of ongoing stress, leading to delays in their daily activities and growing concerns about the potential worsening of the situation.
Understanding the urgency and impact of the homeowner's concerns, our team of experts quickly mobilized to assess the condition of the concrete. We took the time to explain the root causes of the uneven surface, ensuring the homeowner felt informed and empowered throughout the process. After a thorough evaluation, we recommended the use of our PolyLevel® product, an innovative solution designed specifically for stabilizing and leveling concrete surfaces.
The after photo showcases the dramatic transformation achieved through our skilled application of PolyLevel®. This high-density polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete, expanding to fill voids and raise the surface back to its original position.

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.
