WATERPROOFING AND WALL SUPPORT WITH POWERBRACES IN GRAND MARAIS, MN
This customer contacted DBS after experiencing sub-floor water issues and wall deflection that required immediate professional attention. Our specialized structural engineering and environmental remediation teams deployed a multi-layered defense network, implementing six high-capacity PowerBrace™ vertical steel columns to completely arrest the bowing masonry alongside an advanced sump pump layout to ensure a permanently dry, healthy basement.
This customer contacted DBS after experiencing a water issue and bowing that required immediate attention. They wanted to have peace of mind again regarding the resolution of the wall-related issues that were reoccurring. When our Design Specialist came out to the property and recommended our waterproofing and foundation support services to help permanently fix these issues.
When our crew was able to get out to the property, they installed six levers to help with the stabilization of the foundation. The project proceeded smoothly with no major issues, leaving the customer exceptionally pleased.
