Basement finishing company in Cloquet

At DBS we can transform your basement into usable space. Whether you want another living room, a home theater, or something else entirely, our team can help make your vision a reality. Many building materials like drywall and plywood don't work well in the basement. In the damp environment of the basement these building materials are often vulnerable to mold and other issues. That's why we use specialized building materials that are inorganic, waterproof, and perfectly suited for the basement environment.

Concrete lifting and leveling with PolyLevel® in Cloquet

PolyLevel® is a fast & efficient method to raise sinking concrete. This simple foam injection can stabilize your Cloquet concrete slab for years to come!

If you have a cracked sidewalk, damaged sidewalk, or an uneven patio or driveway, PolyLevel® from DBS is the quick, efficient, and cost-effective solution you need to successfully take care of this serious issue. At DBS our innovative process lifts and smooths out depressed and unbalanced concrete using an incredibly strong targeted foam injection. This process ensures that the troubled area becomes solidified so it forms a smooth and secure foundation that makes the surrounding concrete significantly more durable than by using traditional techniques like mudjacking.

Foundation solutions for every problem

In order for you to preserve your home's long-term well-being and value, it is absolutely critical to quickly identify, repair, and eliminate foundation issues. Just a crack in the floor or wall of your home can indicate a very expensive and serious issue, which is why it is all the more imperative to have your home evaluated right away by a foundation repair expert from DBS. Here are the key warning signs of foundation damage:

  • Cracks in foundation walls or floors
