Concrete Leveling & Foundation Repair in Spooner, WI

Confronted with a musty odor infiltrating their home and growing concerns about potential rodent infestations, a homeowner in Spooner, WI, reached out to us for assistance. They were understandably worried about the impact these issues could have on their home’s comfort and safety. The before photo reveals a dreary, open crawl space that was not only uninviting but also posed serious risks to the home’s overall environment.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, our team conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space to identify the underlying issues contributing to the unpleasant smell and rodent concerns. The existing conditions, characterized by moisture accumulation and a lack of proper insulation, were creating an ideal environment for pests while also negatively affecting the home’s air quality.

In the after photo, you can see the dramatic transformation of the crawl space. We installed CleanSpace®, a high-performance vapor barrier specifically designed to seal out moisture and prevent pests from entering the home. This durable barrier not only addresses the musty odor but also protects against future moisture problems.

To further enhance the space, we added the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, which is known for its energy efficiency and effectiveness in maintaining optimal humidity levels. This unit actively removes excess moisture from the air, helping to ensure a dry, healthy environment in the crawl space and throughout the home.

Additionally, we applied SprayFoam insulation, which significantly improves energy efficiency by providing an airtight seal. This insulation not only keeps the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer but also helps reduce energy costs, providing long-term savings for the homeowner.

Our commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience shines through in the lasting, effective solutions we offer for common home issues. The transformation of this crawl space not only resolved the immediate concerns of moisture and pests but also enhanced the overall comfort and energy efficiency of the home. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their living environment is healthier and more secure, paving the way for a more enjoyable home experience.

A homeowner in Spooner, WI reached out to DBS regarding a foundation problem they were experiencing. Their basement wall was beginning to bow, and the owner wanted to find a reliable solution to the problem. After getting a hold of DBS, a Design Specialist went to the residence to assess the situation and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for our foundation support service. After walking through and discussing potential solutions, it was concluded that the foundation wall would need to have the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System installed. This consist of galvanized steel anchors that are embedded into undisturbed soil, and are attached using a steel rod to a seperate anchor on the inside of the wall. Once installed, a pulling force is created on the wall, which can help stabilize the foundation, and can even move the wall back to the original position. With the help of DBS, this homeowner can now be more comfortable with their supported basement wall.
