DBS Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN homeowner noticed water entering their finished basement but wanted to avoid tearing up walls or flooring for a major repair. They also struggled with their sump discharge line freezing during the winter. DBS Repair installed a SingleSafe™ sump pump system to efficiently manage groundwater and added IceGuard® to the exterior discharge line to prevent freezing and backups. The result is a reliable waterproofing solution that keeps their finished basement dry and protected year-round — without the need for major demolition.

The owner of this home in Nisswa, MN reached out to us looking for a solution to their bowing and cracked walls in their basement.

One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System.

One of our crews went out to install the system. They installed the PowerBrace® i-beams along the walls in order to permanently stabilize the foundation. The system will help to prevent additional movement and may be able to straighten the wall back to its original position over time.

The homeowner now has peace of mind!
