How 11 Helical Piers Helped Stabilize a 100-Year-Old Cabin

We were stumped about how to address our aging cabin's foundation issues. DBS clearly understood what was causing the problem and how to fix it. At a follow up visit one year later, the foundation is right where they moved it.

Nick and Rob were at my cabin on time accessed the project said it was easier than they thought it would be. They got right to work at 9 am and was slated to take 8 hours and dig a ditch 4 inches deep and they said no way they could get through there no problem. They got through spread the mat then the white plastic and then foamed. They called at noon and said they were almost done. Great job very efficient great guysFull disclosure I had a bid from groundwork’s that was twice as much and they refused to climb in there unless I removed the floor in the bedroom above do they could access. I refused. DBS was terrific and got the job done. I recommend to anyone.

I recently had DBS perform warranty work on foundation piers for a cabin boathouse. The crew was incredible. Their work was top notch. The foreman, Trevor, was particularly impressive. Highly skilled, outstanding attention to detail, and very customer focused. He also took the time to communicate and teach his younger crew. A true leader in every sense. DBS... be sure to reward employees like Trevor; people like him are difficult to find!

DBS took our 100 year old cabin and basically rescued it. The footings were terrible and DBS put 11 helical piers and 4 I-beams under it. This year they came back out to assess the work with a laser level and found that it hadn't even moved a 1/8 of an inch. Job well done!

DBS and crew did a great job! My cabin is way more stable and the work will last for years. Super hard workers and nice people. I’ll use them again. Don Kienholz

Glen and Dane did a gret job with the crawl space encapsulation at our cabin.

We hired DBS to install Helica Piers under our 100 year old cabin. It was a challenging job with very wet soil and old boards. Jared and Cameron made the trip to Wisconsin and worked very hard to restore the cabin to its original condition. They did an excellent job of explaining the process and what to expect. Our cabin is now on solid ground. Thanks DBS and especially Jared and Cameron for a job well done.

Super impressed with the entire process. Mike made the initial inspection and explained the best method of repair for the cabin foundation in Hayward WI. The installation was performed by Trevor, Travis and Joe. These guys were hard workers. Came in, explained the process, kept me informed and were able to finish the same day. They even cleaned up the job site before leaving. Great attitude even at the end of the day. The completed project exceeded my expectations.

"Because we were so pleased with our initial DBS experience we decided to use them again for another challenging cabin project that was beyond our ability to effectively address. After removing a sidewalk along the uphill facing side of a cabin we purchased, built in 1946, we discovered what we feared. Significant wood rot of our rim joist, wall sill, and beams. We knew DBS was the reliable, quality solution and we were right! From Jake’s thorough analysis, thorough and reasonable discussion of options so we could participate in the selected solution given all the facts, to an exceptional team comprised of Trevor and Ethan, we can say we are incredibly pleased and relieved with the outcome. We are confident our cabin is ready now for the new t generations in our family, giving us great comfort not just now but for those generations to come. Trevor and Ethan went the extra mile, always exhibiting the finest in customer service and a desire to address any questions and provide valued explanations. They did a fabulous job along the repair route of leveling our structure, a very challenging outcome given the specific situations of our situation. They delivered! 10 out of 10 stars plus!"
