Last winter a water main broke about a block from our house.  Since the break was above us, thousands of gallons of water ran down the hill towards our house.  I woke up to about 6-7 inches of water around my connected garage.  Several inches were also in the area behind the house.  I set up sump pumps to get rid of the water and got no water in the house but the ground was still very saturated.  The temperature dropped from 25 above to 15 below in about 30 hours.  My son heard a loud bang and the block in the basement had cracked about 18 inches below ground from the expanding pressure of the freezing water. I called several contractors to look at the problem and they all wanted to do extra work.  One wanted to dig up the whole back of the house and I said I don't have any water problems, I just didn't want to have structural problems in the future. Foundation Supportworks Solutions offered a solution to reinforce the wall at a reasonable price.  Using GeoLock foundation wall anchors with rebar and concrete in block cores the wall was made structurally sound. The job was done in a timely manner and the site was left extremely clean.  It was hard to tell work had been done in the area.  The employees of Foundation Supportworks Solutions were all friendly and professional.  I would highly recommend them.

Dear Jeff, many thanks and much appreciation for your time and effort to complete this job, and answer any of our questions. All of the staff involved in this project have been professional and courteous. I am especially grateful for the graciousness in which DBS worked with us concerning the issue resulted from the confusion about the final discharge strategy. Please know that we have had some significant rainstorms (one that closed the highway!), and in each of these situations we, previously, would have had water seeping or even flooding into the basement- none of this occurred since your work in our basement, thank you so much!

Your guys did real well and everything looks good.   I checked the temp down there when it was 4 degrees outside it was 60 degrees in the crawl space and the furnace room. And the temp upstairs. Was 70.  So it’s all working out real well.   Right now I don’t have the money for the rest of it.  But I will let you know if I ever want the rest of it done.    Thank you very much for everything and the timely manor in which it was done .  If anyone asks me I will give them, you and your company my highest rating.  A plus

They were very conscientious, thoughtful, took time, checked and rechecked their work. Excellent! And they were personable, explained what they were doing, dropped in about halfway through to update me. I loved the communication. I never felt like someone was taking advantage of me and that they respected their customer and took pride in their work. High quality. High integrity.

I wanted to thank your crew who did my job!  They were really courteous and extremely easy to work with. The job they did was fantastic.  I and my wife Kris are looking forward to having a dry/damp free lower level to enjoy without having to worry anymore about heavy rains etc.  I have almost gotten everything put back together since the work was done.  At age 65 it just doesn't seem to get done as fast though. I would highly recommend this company and CREW to anyone who asks. Thanks

We have been searching for a place to lift our floors for over 4 years. Everyone we checked into wanted to dig under our house to lift the floors. Finally found DBS Solutions. What a GREAT group of people from beginning to end. They were able to go into our crawl space and lift our floors. So glad I found them. I would HIGHLY recommend them. Honest, Affordable and treated my home like it was their own. THANKS GUYS!!!

Kornell the installer was excellent and helped ease my concerns as he ran into an unexpected issue. He walked me through options, explained why the option he suggested was best, and built confidence in me. He and his team did a great job with clean work, removed all debris and it looked great. Hang on to that team! Thank you! Justin sales rep did a great job helping me understand the process and why this method of ensuring water won’t seep up through concrete was the best way to resolve my issue. Thank you!

    Waterproofing A Basement with CleanSpace in Marshfield, Wisconsin

    The basement under this Marshfield, WI home had developed cracks along the walls which were allowing significant amounts of water to pass through into the basement which led to standing water and moisture causing issues for the homeowner. In order to fulfill the wishes of our customer to create a water-free space in his basement our Specialist, Rich met up with the customer to develop a plan customized to this specific basement. By working with the customer Rich helped develop a waterproofing plan that incorporated our CleanSpace wall liner, SuperSump sump pump, and an interior drain tile to effectively eliminate the water issues this homeowner was facing in this area of their basement. Captured in these photos is the large oil tank that sat in the basement. While obstacles like this can limit access to the basement walls, we certainly don't let that get in our way of effectively waterproofing a basement. Our production crews know just how to work through or around all types of obstacles like this including finished bathrooms and large appliances.

    Bowing Walls and Water Leaks in Augusta, WI Home Repaired by DBS

    A 1930s home in Augusta, WI had a bowing and cracked foundation wall. The walls were allowing water to enter the space, leaving behind a mess!  The homeowner called to set-up a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the work. 

    DBS Design Specialist Jason Brummer visited the home to inspect the source of the foundation wall and basement water issues. He determined that both a waterproofing system and wall repair system would be installed to provide a permanent solution to both issues. 

    DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his crew installed both systems beginning with the basement waterproofing system. In order to protect the entire basement, our basement repair team installed 115 feet of interior drain tile with a CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the walls. DBS uses the WaterGuard® drainage system, designed to capture water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall and floor joint. Water enters the system via inlet holes and flows through the drainage pipe to a new SingleSafe sump pump. 

    After the successful install of the waterproofing system, our team installed four GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses heavy-duty anchors and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. From there, they also installed Carbon Armor Wall Defense straps to hold the wall in place, preventing it from further movement. 

    The homeowner was happy with the work done and looks forward to using a water-free basement going forward.
