Before & After Photos

This La Pointe, WI homeowner was dealing with serious foundation issues and persistent musty odors from the crawl space. As seen in the "before" photo, the foundation was crumbling, creating both safety concerns and a damp, unpleasant environment. To tackle these issues, we employed a comprehensive solution, including a trusted Helical Pier system to stabilize and secure the foundation. We also installed SmartPipe™ and SmartSump™ to manage water flow, along with SmartJacks™ for additional support to ensure a level and solid structure.

In addition to addressing the foundation, we tackled the musty smell by installing a CleanSpace® vapor barrier to seal out moisture and a SaniDry Sedona® for high-efficiency dehumidification. The crawl space was also equipped with an EverLast® door and reinforced with rim joists and cross beam supports to ensure lasting protection and structural integrity.

As shown in the "after" photo, the transformation is remarkable. The crawl space is now safe, dry, and odor-free, providing the homeowner with peace of mind and a reliable, long-lasting solution to their foundation and moisture problems. Our work has not only eliminated the immediate safety hazards but also safeguarded the home for years to come.

This hardware store in Bayfield, WI was having problems with sunken concrete. It was creating tripping hazards and making it a hassle to load and unload merchandise as they wheeled it into their storage area (the uneven concrete created obstacles for wheeled dolly carts). Slanted concrete can also lead to problems with nearby structures when it drains water into or toward the structure. The owners of this property saw the value in having level concrete, so they had us several slabs that led to the building and to their storage area. The concrete in these pictures was dramatically lifted and the now level result aids in draining water away from the building, preventing possible future damages to the building.

A homeowner in Bayfield, WI contacted DBS regarding an insulation issue. The basement of their home was unfinished, and the fiberglass insulation was not sufficient enough to keep the area warm and energy-saving. In need of a solution, a design specialist went to inspect the property and give a free,no-obligation estimate for the insulation service. It was decided that the rim joist would need spray foam insulation to better seal off any cold,drafty air from entering the basement area. Spray foam is an optimal solution for better home insulation, and will now help this homeowner save energy and stay warm during the frigid winter months. 

These homeowners in Bayfield, WI reached out to DBS for help with reducing heating and cooling costs in their home. 

Dr. Energy Saver® Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate. Hunter measured where heat was being lost and found the rim joists to be a problematic area. The solution was to install 3"  inch thick closed cell spray foam along the rim joists. This creates an airtight connection and eliminates outdoor air from entering the home. A DBS Foreman and their production crew did a great job installing the insulation. 

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable all year round!
