Before & After Photos

When adding living space to a home it is the safety conscious and often legal decision to create an egress basement window which allows for a quick escape in event of an emergency. In addition to providing insulation, doors, and windows, DBS Residential Solutions also offers basement finishing services. The combination of our energy efficient windows and basement finishing egress window wells helped make this project become a reality that has a pleasant visual appeal to it.  This home can now increase its value by creating an additional bedroom or other living space. We always recommend our customers review our basement finishing options when looking to finish a basement. We offer inorganic products that will not mold or rot when they become wet.

In South Range, WI, we tackled a foundation concern where ongoing structural issues threatened the integrity and future renovations of a beloved barn. As you can see in the before photo, years of leakage and neglect had weakened the foundation, risking major structural damage. Our solution, clearly depicted in the after photo, involved installing our trusted Helical Pier system. This innovative approach not only stabilized the foundation, safeguarding against future issues, but also set the stage for the homeowner's plans to re-side the barn. Through our methodical intervention, we've ensured that this structure stands strong for years to come, fulfilling our mission to deliver a lasting resolution with a remarkable customer experience.

In these before-and-after snapshots from South Range, WI, witness a remarkable transformation. The homeowner faced a dual challenge: concerning foundation issues and troubling basement flooding—issues that needed immediate attention to ensure the home's stability and peace of mind, especially before handing the keys over to a family member. The visible signs of caving walls and water intrusion, as seen in the ‘before’ photo, demanded an urgent and reliable solution. Our expertise led us to implement a comprehensive approach, combining the PowerBrace™, GeoLock™ Wall Anchor, and GeoLock™ Channel Anchor to stabilize the foundation. Additionally, to tackle the flooding, we installed the WaterGuard® and CleanSpace® systems, followed by the robust protection of our UltraSump™ System. As seen in the ‘after’ photo, the structure’s integrity has been fully restored, with the basement transformed into a secure, dry space. This is more than just an aesthetic improvement—it's a testament to our commitment to providing lasting, reliable solutions, ensuring a safe foundation for family memories to be securely built upon for years to come.

The owner of this home in Boyd, WI reached out to DBS looking for a permanent solution to their unstable basement foundation and walls.

One of our Design Specialists went out to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist quoted our PowerBrace® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed PowerBrace® i-beams along the walls of the basement. The system will prevent further bowing or new cracks from developing.
Now that the basement has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

Insulating around objects that should not be moved is never an easy task, but the team at DBS Residential Solutions has gotten great at using spray foam insulation to properly insulate and air seal a home while working around various obstacles. Keeping these utilities warm is important not only for the longevity of the machines but for their efficiency as well. A water heater, for example, will lose much less energy in a warm room than it would in a room that in improperly insulated and cold.
