Washington County's Leading Foundation Repair & Basement Waterproofing Contractor

The person that owned this home was growing tired of water continuously coming in through the floor and walls. They were growing frustrated with boxes they had stored in the basement always getting wet and couldn't stand the musty basement smell any longer. They decided to go online to research different basement waterproofing companies that did work around Stillwater and after checking out the DBS website, google reviews, and BBB rating they decided to give DBS Residential Solutions a call. They especially enjoyed seeing photos of problems similar to theirs from past customers so they knew that DBS had done work like this many times in the past. After meeting with our specialist Henrik to assess the situation the homeowner was left with a wealth of knowledge about his options and a quote for work that he had agreed to. The quote was for a complete internal basement waterproofing system with our CleanSpace waterproofing membrane and our patented drain tile system which has been built specifically to be efficiently installed in a basement and has been developed to prevent dirt and grime from clogging the system in the future. Our production crew installed this system without an issue and the homeowner was soon enjoying the new dry space that we had helped create in his basement. With the reduction in moisture entering the basement we also aided in reducing the moisture in the air which cut down on the musty smells that the customer had experienced before. To completely eliminate these types of smells we recommend checking out our SaniDry Sedona which is a powerful dehumidifier which utilizes the latest technology to keep our customer's basements dry and free from moldy musty smells!

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN was noticing that the block foundation wall of their home was beginning to crack. Cracks in the foundation wall are a telltale sign of foundation settlement, soil failure, and so on. In this particular case, the cracks were still fairly minor, so it was only right to have it checked out before things worsened. A Design Specialist from DBS visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate and thorough inspection of the area. It was determined that the foundation wall would need to have both the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System and GeoLock® Wall Anchor System installed to maximize the support and stabilization of the wall. These two systems are ideal components to combatting foundation wall cracking and bowing, and can even work to potentially straighten out badly bowed walls over time. For more information on foundation failure and the products we use, please visit here.

The photos attached show some of the early cracking taking place. The cracks ran through the middle section or the wall horizontally, as well as in the corner area.

Recently, at DBS, we embarked on an exciting project at a charming family home in Forest Lake, MN. The homeowner, eager to dedicate more time to home improvements as their children grew older, expressed a desire to install a new deck and refresh their landscaping. However, the anticipation of these enhancements unveiled an underlying issue that demanded immediate attention – the home's foundation required stabilization to effectively support the forthcoming constructions.

Upon the homeowner's contact with our diligent Customer Care team, we promptly initiated a home inspection. Our dedicated System Design Specialist conducted a thorough assessment, identifying the foundation's core problem areas. Our proposed solution involved the installation of Push Piers, renowned for their strength in supporting and stabilizing home foundations, along with our innovative PolyLevel® solution. PolyLevel® distinguishes itself with its lightweight yet remarkably robust properties, making it ideal for filling voids under foundations without adding unnecessary weight or disturbing the surrounding soil.

Our production team, led by a skilled foreman and adept installers, executed the Push Pier installation with precision and care.

Their diligence exemplifies our steadfast commitment to delivering reliable and enduring solutions, consistently exceeding our customers' expectations.

This homeowner in Stillwater, MN started noticing the floors above their crawl space were consistently too cold, their stored boxes became musty and began showing signs of mold, they knew it was time to address the issue. Concerned for their home's condition and aiming for peace of mind, the homeowners reached out to us to finally tackle the annoyance their crawl space had become. Following our structured process, our Customer Care team promptly arranged for a thorough home inspection.

We recommended our CleanSpace® system, confident in its ability to transform problematic crawl spaces. CleanSpace® is a comprehensive encapsulation system designed to permanently solve issues of dampness, mustiness, and energy inefficiency in crawl spaces. The solution involves the installation of a durable, tear-resistant liner that locks out moisture, significantly reduces humidity levels, and prevents mold growth, effectively safeguarding stored items and making the space above more comfortable. Our production team meticulously installed CleanSpace® , brightening, and sealing the crawl space. The outcome was immediately noticeable.

 In Woodbury, MN, a homeowner was facing trouble with their front steps. Over time, the concrete had settled, causing not only a noticeable eyesore but also a potential tripping hazard. Uncertain of the best path forward, the homeowner reached out to our team, hoping for a lasting solution. Our process began with a conversation with our Appointment Center, who quickly arranged for a home inspection by one of our trusted Design Specialists. Upon inspection, it was clear that the front steps required our expertise in concrete leveling and sealing to restore both functionality and appearance. Using PolyLevel© for leveling the concrete and NexusPro© for sealing joints and cracks, we were poised to tackle the job head-on. On the day of the repair, our production team, consisting of a skilled foreman and dedicated installers, worked efficiently to address the problem. PolyLevel© was injected beneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the front steps, while NexusPro© sealed the deal by addressing the cracks and joints, ensuring a durable finish. The precision and care our team brought to the project were evident in their thorough cleanup and respect for the homeowner's property throughout the process. Once completed, the transformation was striking. The once uneven and cracked steps were now level, safe, and visually appealing.

Recently, a homeowner in Lake Elmo, MN, contacted us about a frustrating issue: their uneven and cracked concrete patio. After previously attempting repairs that failed to hold, they were eager for a solution that would be both effective and long-lasting. That’s where we at DBS stepped in.

Understanding their desire for a smooth and attractive outdoor space, we devised a twofold solution using PolyLevel® and NexusPro®. Our process began with a call to our Customer Care team, followed by a thorough inspection from one of our specialists. We identified the key issues causing the concrete to settle and crack and developed a plan to not only address the immediate problems but also prevent future ones.

The installation went smoothly and efficiently. We injected PolyLevel® beneath the slabs to lift and level them, providing a stable foundation that resists further sinking or settlement. Next, we applied NexusPro® to seal the cracks and joints, protecting against water damage and future cracking. This combination not only restored the patio’s functionality but also revitalized its appearance, seamlessly blending with the rest of the homeowner’s outdoor retreat.

By the time we finished and cleaned up, the transformation was clear. The previously unsightly and uneven concrete patio had become a level, inviting space ready for summer barbecues and relaxation. This project serves as another reminder of why we do what we do—delivering reliable, durable solutions that enhance the safety and beauty of homes, improving homeowners' lives for the long term.

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.

In West Lake Township near Lake Elmo, MN, a homeowner was confronted with a concerning structural issue: one of their foundation walls, once a symbol of the home’s stability, had shifted inward under pressure, nearing the point of collapse.
