Saint Paul's Dependable Foundation Repair, Concrete Lifting & Leveling Contractor

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. The result is a smooth, stable concrete surface that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the property but also significantly improves safety for the homeowner and their guests.

In addition to restoring the surface, our approach with PolyLevel® provides a durable solution that stands up to the rigors of daily use and the unpredictable Minnesota weather. The peace of mind that comes from knowing their concrete is now secure and reliable is invaluable for the homeowner, allowing them to focus on enjoying their space rather than worrying about potential hazards.

At DBS, we are dedicated to delivering a remarkable customer experience. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, we prioritize clear communication and transparency, ensuring our clients are fully satisfied with the results.

Recently, our team traveled to Eagan, MN, ready to tackle a concrete repair job for a proactive homeowner. Concerned about unsettling cracks and uneven surfaces on their property, this forward-thinking individual reached out to us at DBS before the situation worsened. Eager for a swift and seamless solution, they quickly contacted our customer care team, setting the stage for a transformative intervention.

The process began with a visit from one of our System Design Specialists, who conducted a thorough inspection to assess the severity of the issues and identify the areas needing immediate attention. Together, we crafted a solution that would provide not just a temporary fix but a long-term preservation of their concrete surfaces.

Our recommended approach featured our reliable duo: PolyLevel® for lifting and leveling the sunken slabs, and NexusPro®, a durable sealant designed to address cracks and prevent future deterioration. Confident in our plan, the homeowner was fully on board.

With the strategy in place, our production team got to work. Using precision and care, they injected PolyLevel® into key areas beneath the concrete slabs, watching as each section gradually rose back to its original level. Next came NexusPro®, which seamlessly sealed the cracks and joints, effectively blocking out moisture, dirt, and weeds.

The results were almost magical—thanks to advanced technology and our team's meticulous attention to detail.

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.

It was clear that the foundation needed our Push Pier system—a reliable solution designed to stabilize and lift the foundation back to its original position safely.

Tackling the flooding and humidity was a challenge they faced repeatedly, disturbing the peace and enjoyment of their home. Aware of the importance of addressing this issue head-on, the homeowner reached out to us here at DBS. Our process began with an initial contact to our caring Appointment Center before we dispatched a Design Specialist to their home.

Following the homeowner’s go-ahead, our dedicated production team got to work. Installation was smoothly managed with minimum disruption to the homeowner's daily life.

Recently in Eagan, MN, a homeowner contacted us at DBS with a common concern in our field: their once sturdy concrete driveway had started showing significant wear and tear, marked by worrisome cracks that were becoming more prominent each day. Worried about potential damage escalation and the deteriorating appearance, the homeowner decided it was time for professional intervention before things worsened. Upon reaching out to our dedicated Customer Care team, we promptly scheduled a detailed home inspection with one of our System Design Specialists.

During the inspection, our specialist thoroughly assessed the situation and pinpointed the root cause of the concrete cracking. PolyLevel®, our preferred solution for concrete leveling and repair, was recommended to not only address the current damage but also prevent future issues. PolyLevel® is an advanced polyurethane injection foam known for its durability and precision in lifting and stabilizing sinking or settling concrete. Its quick application and setting time ensure efficient repairs without compromising quality or disrupting our customers' daily routines.

Recently, we had the opportunity to assist a homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, who was confronting an unsettling situation with the foundation of their home. This homeowner noticed visible settlement at the southwest corner of their garage, directly next to the driveway. Concerns were growing as the stability of the garage began affecting other parts of the house, including doors and windows that wouldn’t close properly. Before embarking on further home improvement projects, such as replacing the driveway, the homeowner knew this issue needed prompt and professional attention. After reaching out to us, our dedicated Customer Care team quickly set up an initial inspection to assess the depth of the settlement problem. Our System Design Specialist conducted a thorough walkthrough, identifying the key areas contributing to the structural instability. With a clear diagnosis, we proposed the installation of Push Pier systems as a targeted solution to effectively address the underlying foundation concerns. Our skilled production team went to work, meticulously installing the Push Piers at strategic locations to halt further settlement and lift the foundation back to its original position. Throughout the project, we were mindful of the homeowner’s request for improving the grade of the land during backfilling, ensuring that water would redirect away from the foundation to prevent future problems. Doors and windows no longer stuck, signaling a return to normalcy throughout the home. Thanks to our intervention, the homeowner now has the confidence to move forward with their driveway replacement and other desired improvements, resting assured that their home rests on a sturdy foundation.

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.
