The owner of this home in Kettle River, MN noticed that the wall in their garage was bowing, looking for a solution they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, they generated a quote for our Geo-Lock® Wall Anchor System for the homeowner.

Foreman Jason Foster led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 4 Geo-Lock® Anchors along the wall to permanently stabilize it. The Geo-Lock® Anchors use the soil on the outside of a foundation to brace the wall as another plate sits outside the home beneath the ground to lock the one on the other side of the wall in place.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax more comfortably and feel much safer in their home.

CleanSpace® Upgraded Crawl Space in Kettle River, MN.

DBS received a call looking to upgrade the crawl space in their home to properly drain, insulate, and fix the overall environment of the home, as a poorly insulated or wet crawl space can create a long list of problems in other rooms. DBS worked with the clients to set up a proposal for their crawl space repair that met their needs.

We suggested our spray foam insulation to give the crawl space protection from drafts and cracks letting the air out. We also proposed installation of our CleanSpace® drainage matting and a SmartDrain to make sure that any water coming into the crawl space would be directed out, so our homeowners can maintain a dry crawl space and an overall happy home.
