A homeowner in Grand Rapids, MN reached out to DBS regarding their home's crawl space and various areas within the basement. The crawl space was the source of some damp water issues, creating a cold and uncomfortable environment. In need of a solution, a Design Specialist from DBS visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the service. It was decided that our crew would fully encapsulate the area using CleanSpace® as well as install a TripleSafe™ sump pump to extract unwanted water. To finish it off, the crew added SilverGlo™ insulation panels on the crawl space walls to create a warmer environment. The results turned out great and can be seen in the photos attached.

Job Stories From Grand Rapids, MN
Crawlspace to Cleanspace in Grand Rapids, Minnesota

Our crew set out with a goal to make this property suitable for all seasons for the new owners with foundation stabilization and crawlspace encapsulation. The customers wanted a permanent solution. There were some tough issues to tackle: joists needing attention and areas with mold that needed spraying.

The crew cleared away all debris and created access to a small crawl space without an entrance was necessary. The main part of the job was encapsulating the crawl space with SmartJacks. Everything went smoothly, and the customer was delighted with the result. The customer shared that Jordan, the foreman, was always punctual and polite. He replied promptly to the customer's messages and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.

Waterproofing for a Daycare Center in Grand Rapids, Minnesota

Our crew took on a waterproofing project at a daycare center in Grand Rapids, MN, where they were applying for a grant. The main concern was to address water issues to keep the place dry, which was important for the kids' health. Additionally, they wanted to make the space more usable. The center had a lot of square footage and an open basement with a small storage room, which meant only one interior wall needed work.

Overall, the job went smoothly. The primary water problem stemmed from rotting window frames, so they were also sprayfoamed and taped to prevent further water damage. The daycare center will add new windows for a more permanent solution.

Waterproofing Solution Needed in Grand Rapids, MN Basement

Cold Home in Grand Rapids, MN Restored with Attic Insulation

The owner of this home in Grand Rapids, MN reached out to DBS about improving their energy efficiency. They knew that their attic was in need of new insulation and they reached out to DBS for more information.

Our Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the insultation job. We recommended a combination of closed-cell spray foam and our Dr. Energy Saver® SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation.

Our DBS production crew first completely removed the existing insualtion. They then air sealed the space using ZypFoam, paying particular attention to sealing all visible cracks in between the building material. This will assist in holding in heated air, and prevent ice dam build-up. Once that was complete, they installed SilverGlo™ insulation, thoughly lining the attic space. This was followed by spray foam to completely seal the space from floor to ceiling.

During spring snow melt or heavy rain I will get water in my basement. So I need a sump pump installed in my basement. There is not an existing spot so there is concrete that would need to be cut/broken out. I am also not sure if a sump pump would be enough or if drain tile would need to be installed outside of my house or some other option.

Project Location: Grand Rapids, MN
My house has two basement sections 1 from the original 1920s built section and the renovation/expansion built in the 80s, the 80s section is lower than the 1920s by about a foot and is separated by a wall that was likely part of the original exterior. I've recently sold the house and the buyers want the basement flooding addressed before closing on July 8th. The basement has 2 new sump pumps and a dehumidifier and fans, but there is still water leaking from multiple places at the seams of the bottom stair and the walls. I have been told that the basement is lower than sewer level, too, when plumbers came for a different problem. I'd add pictures if I could.

We have a 24 x 32' detached three stall garage approximately 30 years old that the slab is starting to sag causing cracks in our slab as well as the surrounding sidewalk and apron. We have pretty sandy soil underneath and have been considering replacing the concrete, but are worried about it just happening again, so I think one of your products may be able to help us support what we have to keep it from getting worse. I could email some pictures if that is helpful or if you have someone in the Grand Rapids area you could take a look we would appreciate it. Thank you
