Reliable Basement Finishing & Foundation Contractor in Hennepin County, MN.

This Minneapolis, MN homeowner was looking to update and finish an old basement bathroom. They reached out to DBS and spoke with Receptionist, Kristin Kramer, who helped book an appointment with System Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo. Henrik was able to give these homeowners a specific estimate to complete the basement bathroom and finish the basement ceiling. The homeowners were excited to get started on this project with DBS. Foreman Drew Sundberg and his crew set out to install the updated bathroom features and basement ceiling. For this project, DBS used the high-quality finishing products EverLast wall panels and Millcreek flooring. These products are perfect for basements, especially the Millcreek flooring, as it is mold and mildew resistant. 

This home in Saint Louis Park was experiencing some water issues and the homeowner wanted them taken care of. She called DBS and System Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen made a trip out to the home for a FREE, no-obligation estimate.

He inspected the foundation and explained to the homeowner the best possible solution. He explained that installing a waterproofing system would solve her problems. Along with the water problems, came cracks in the foundation wall from the pressure build-up. Letting the water problems go would only let the problem get worse with time. With this installation in place, the homeowner would no longer have to worry about the foundation problems.

A couple called DBS with a basement that was finished in the 70’s, the homeowners were no longer satisfied with the wood burning fireplace and wood panelling. The couple was also having trouble with the sliding door beginning to rot away. DBS constructed a plan to finish the basement into a beautiful, modern style that would match the style of the rest of the home. We also noticed that the couple would benefit from our concrete repair service in their garage. Because the couple also signed up for our PolyLevel concrete lifting service, their garage is now a safe, even environment for their family, and DBS is currently working on their basement for an overall enjoyable space to spend time together!

A couple in Minnetonka, MN called DBS looking for work on their crawl space and looking for a waterproofing and humidity solution in their house. They said that they had started to notice signs of mold in their house and they had never been in their crawl space prior to DBS coming to the house. The couple was looking to move in the near future and they were worried about the value of their house with these problems. Home Comfort Specialist, Steve Stern went to look at the house. Upon arrival, he immediately suggested our SaniDry Sedona to help with the household water and humidify problem. The SaniDry Sedona is very popular with DBS, it is known as a the ultimate dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona can create dry air results within a day of installation. Regarding work in the crawl space, we used our CleanSpace Liner with Drainage Matting for any water problems in there, the liner works to provide moisture control. After using our products and systems, the crawl space was made waterproof and less humid within days. Our customers followed up giving DBS a 10/10 review, very satisfied with the changes in their home!

DBS looked into a crawl space project that was cold and wet, so the homeowner called for an upgrade. We recommended installation of our SuperSump® system to replace the previous sump pump to manage the water in the house, then we suggested using a drainage mat in the crawl space to make sure any water that gets inside, goes back outside. We wanted to make sure the crawl space was clean so we used a liner in place of the dirt on the floor, then installed some insulation to make sure we could keep the crawl space clean, too. We’ve included a photo of the filter from the house before and after, with the new filter on the right. Below you’ll also see a photo of the dirty sump basin, showing some of the household images in a crawl space that may need DBS to resolve.

We received a call from homeowners in St. Louis Park that they had a wall that was cracked and bowing. They were concerned for the support in their home and wanted to stabilize the wall immediately.

Here’s a photo of our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System showing how it connects deeply into the ceiling of the home for support and stabilization.

As the snow melts and spring comes, DBS becomes extremely busy working to waterproof our client's homes. All the water can become a problem for many homes, showing homeowners water problems that they didn’t know existed. DBS recently waterproofed a home in Mound, MN. The home required that we install a WaterGuard® system to manage the water, then install a TripleSafe™ pump system for the water in the home. We also installed a WaterWatch® Alarm System to notify when the water is not being managed efficiently. Between the different waterproofing system, the new sump pump with back up pumps, and the alarm for any water problems, the home will be safe from water damage into the future. 

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN was looking to completely revamp their basement into a more comfortable living area.

The main items would new flooring and carpet, wall panels, and a new finish to the ceiling. One unique feature of the wall panels installed by DBS is that they are fully resistant to mold, moisture, and mildew. The EverLast™ Basement Wall Panels are an ideal component when finishing any basement area. Aside from that, the crew also installed ThermalDry® Basement Floor Tiles.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to inspect the area and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for our waterproofing service.

The wall was experiencing some stairstep cracks running through the wall, which is a common sign of foundation settlement. Aside from that, they were experiencing some secondary issues with water leaking through the foundation. In need of some help, they had a Design Specialist from DBS come out and offer them a free, no-obligation inspection of the foundation and an estimate to repair.

It was determined that our crew would install the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System to stabilize the foundation. This is one of the ideal solutions for repairing cracked or bowing walls. It entails two galvanized steel anchor plates (one interior and one exterior) embedded below the soil outside of the foundation wall. the plates are attached by a steel rod, and this creates a force that helps stabilize the wall immediately. Over time, the anchor system can be tightened and work to straighten any bowing walls. In this case here, the homeowner caught the issue before too much structural damage occurred. A photo of the interior portion of the wall can be seen attached here. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now feel more comfortable with their foundation wall.

A homeowner in Eden Prairie, MN was noticing that the foundation of their home was starting to settle, more specifically their balcony area.

In need of some help, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist come out to give them a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the repair. After a thorough walkthrough, it was determined that the home would need to have four helical piers installed around the balcony area in order to properly support and stabilize the structure. These piers are designed with galvanized steel and given a special helix form which allows them to penetrate existing soil and firmly plant below the balcony structure. More information on our helical deck piers can be found here. The results of the project turned out great, and the homeowner can feel more comfortable with the support for their home.

Foreman Emmary Thomas led the installation of this project with the help of a team.

Our metro team completed this challenging but successful residential foundation repair project in Eden Prairie. During the sales process, the customer expressed concern about potential damage to his existing rock retaining wall, particularly on the North side where equipment needed entry. Despite these challenges, our crew managed to carefully navigate the mini excavator to the bottom of the retaining wall.

The main focus was on addressing non-functional windows due to foundation settlement and achieving lift and level procedures. Unfortunately, due to the window issues, achieving a completely level floor proved challenging. However, in collaboration with the customer, a satisfactory compromise was reached – the windows were made functional, and the back corner of the floor was deliberately set 1/4” lower than the rest.

The customer responded was happy with the outcome and responded to a post project survey saying: "Excellent communication, quality work, very satisfied with everything." Special acknowledgment was given to Tate and Brice for their patience, politeness, and skill. Working with Jason was described as a pleasant experience, commending his prompt responsiveness and thorough explanations of all job aspects. The customer found the pricing fair and reasonable, expressing a high likelihood of recommending DBS to friends or neighbors.

Our team tackled a challenging project at the old school center, where the floor was experiencing frost heaving and settling issues during the summer. The hardwood floor failed to realign, leaving it uneven and in need of a solution. With only 4" - 1 foot of crawlspace room to work with, the customer opted to remove the center of the floor for the installation of a Smart Jack system with CIPs and frost protection.

The joists, which were originally resting on rocks, required a strategic approach. We successfully installed beams and performed necessary sistering to provide the needed support. Despite the tight space constraints and the intricate nature of the job, our team delivered exceptional results, achieving a significant lift. The customer expressed satisfaction with the outcome.

In the words of the customer in their review: "We were kept informed of the work being done; the process and expectations. Tate was friendly, a good communicator, efficient, and completed the job. The crew cleaned up when done and were respectful of our 130-year-old school... We were very satisfied with the work and would recommend your company and those working on the school. They were a good crew of men and worked well together."

This customer reached out to DBS after noticing cracks in their basement walls and on the outside of the house. With the intention of potentially renting out or selling their property, they wanted to make sure their basement was safe and wasn't going to cause any further issues in the future.

When our Design Specialist, Nicholas Corbin, went out to the property, he inspected the cracks and was able to relate them to a foundation issue. The foundation was settling and the house needed to be supported through the installation of interior piers and lifts.

Once our production crew was able to get out to the residents property, they were able to install our 3" Push Piers that have a low profile bracket underneath the foundation and lift it back into place. Once the products were installed, the homeowner was happy with the results and could be more comfortable renovating the basement for the future of the house.

This customer reached out to DBS after an energy audit identified two specific issues in their townhouse. The first issue was that the lower wall in the kitchen, under a bay window, is drafty which prompted the need for inner wall insulation. The basement housed the second issue where there was mold on the insulation near the ceiling, and the customer wanted this addressed urgently.

Once our Design Specialist was able to get out to the property and conduct a thorough inspection, they recommended a plan to remove the current fiberglass insulation and use our spray foam on the rim joists. Since there was mold in the rim joists, our production crew would have to spray around 102 square feet of Mold-X around the rim joist and subfloor in the utility room. Additionally, there would need to be a dense pack of insulation for the wall underneath the bay window in the kitchen. 

Once our production crew was able to get to the property, they evacuated the homeowner out of the property and sprayed the Mold X and installed the proper insulation. Once the project was complete, the customer was very happy with the results and communication provided by both the Design Specialist and production crew.

This homeowner reached out to DBS after experiencing consistently cold floors that were above their crawlspace during the winter months. They resorted to placing blankets on the floor to manage the cold draft. This issue became more pronounced after their second kitchen floor remodel, which led her to suspect that the age of the house might be a contributing factor. Additionally, the presence of mice in the crawlspace heightened her concerns, prompting her to seek a solution for a more healthy, safe and comfortable home. When our Design Specialist, Justin Mundahl, went out to the property he decided to take a look at the crawlspace that was located under the kitchen floor and noticed that the crawlspace was cold and not regulated well. His proposed solution included a 0.5" rim joist spray insulation, a SmartDrain, and then finalizing the project with the installation of a TerraBlock™, CleanSpace®, and spray foaming the rim joist. Once our crew was able to get out to the property and install the waterproofing system and spray the rim joist for insulation, the homeowner was happy with the result and was looking forward to a more comfortable kitchen floor!

This homeowner reached out to DBS after seeking assistance for their rental property, an old 1900 home with an untouched crawlspace. The need for action arose when a flooring replacement project revealed high humidity in the crawlspace, prompting concern about potential damage. Currently undergoing renovations before being rented out again, the customer aims to safeguard their investment and eventually sell the property. 

When our Design Specialist went out to the property and looked at the property, they recommended a spray foam insulation to help seal and regulate the temperature and install our CleanSpaces® protector and wrapping it around the piers, installing a SmartDrain for drainage. The regrade is considered crucial to ease the project, given the soft soil and minor debris. Once our crew was able to get out to the property, the crawlspace was effectively sealed off, and the homeowner was happy with the results!

A homeowner contacted DBS for help with their foundation, which had developed cracks. The wooden posts supporting the porch and living room had sunk into the ground, causing instability. To address the issue, our design specialist proposed installing piers under the posts to provide additional support.

Our team arrived on site and installed three helical cabin piers, which successfully reinforced the beams. The homeowner was pleased with the results!

This homeowner contacted DBS after enduring a daily routine to bring their space heater upstairs just so they could warm the upstairs addition. They wanted proper insulation to alleviate this issue and finally have a warmer upstairs level.

Our Design Specialist visited the property and recommended a solution that involves a full installation of the attic.

When Kornell Green, our Foreman, and the crew went to the property, they installed 5 XL can light covers, air sealed and insulated the access points, baffles, and floors using our spray foam insulation. Once the spray foam insulation was complete, Kornell and the team secured the installation further by using our TruSoft Cellulose. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was very happy with the final result!

This customer reached out to DBS interested in our Total Basement Finishing services to remodel their laundry area and add a small bathroom to the space. Their basement was unfinished and needed a much-needed upgrade. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, he helped the homeowners construct the basement of their dreams.

Now, they have a new, finished basement for everyone to enjoy!

We recently tackled a series of insulation challenges at a customer's home, focusing on the kitchen's cold cantilever, a chilly room bordering the attic, and overall attic insulation. Here's a breakdown of what we did:

• Kitchen Cantilever: Applied spray foam below and dense packed above to keep the kitchen cozy.
• Cold Room: Ensured warmth by dense packing above and below, and using spray foam on the walls.
• Attic: Enhanced insulation by sealing access points, can lights, and installing new baffles.

Our foreman led the charge, going beyond by removing drywall for thorough insulation and upgrading the kneewall with extra spray foam. The interior pocket was expertly handled with spray foam and dense packing, resulting in a job well done as per plan.

Our customer, impressed by Cody's work, described him as hard-working, intelligent, and considerate. Cody's extensive insulation knowledge and dedication shone through as he explained every step and ensured top-notch work.

We recently had the pleasure of working on a rewarding concrete repair job in Osseo, MN. This homeowner reached out to DBS after noting how their sidewalk had significantly sunk – about 2" on average with a spot sinking a little over 3". Our approach to solving this homeowner’s problem began with a free, no-obligation, estimate. Our Design Specialist, Brian Baker, paid a visit to the property to understand the homeowner’s concerns and assess the situation firsthand. After a thorough inspection, he recommended a combination of PolyLevel®, an innovative foam injection for lifting and leveling concrete, and NexusPro®, a solution for sealing joints and cracks. Our Foreman, Nate, and Co-Foreman, Weston, lifted and leveled the front sidewalk and steps, addressing the uneven surfaces that posed trip hazards. Following the lifting, all joints and cracks were sealed with our NexusPro®, preventing future water damage and soil erosion underneath the concrete. After our work was done, the outcome was visibly uplifting. Not only was the uneven sidewalk leveled out, but the homeowner was thrilled with the revitalized appearance and structural integrity of their sidewalk.
