DBS Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Saint Louis Park, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing the failing foundation wall in their garage. Built in 1995, the block foundation began shifting, prompting the concrete slab to crack as well. Wanting to avoid further damage to protect the integrity of the home for years to come, they contacted DBS.

Our Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner's project. It was determined that both foundation repair and concrete support systems were needed to provide a permanent solution going forward.

DBS Foreman Jose Valenzuela and crew excavated the exterior of the home in order to perform a lift procedure. Our team installed 7 push piers total at the base of the home on the exterior of the home. These galvanized steel piers were then hydraulicaly driven into the ground to weight-bearing soils. The weight of the home was then transferred to the competent soil.

After this was completed, our concrete repair team came in to fill gaps and voids beneath the garage slab with PolyLevel®. Once the slab was lifted and leveled, our team installed NexusPro™ to seal and protect the cracks in the concrete. 

The homeowners can now rest easy knowing their home's garage is protected from further foundation damage.

When our Minneapolis homeowner noticed their basement was dull and inefficient, they turned to us for a reliable solution.

Our team stepped in with spray foam insulation, transforming the space into a bright, energy-efficient area, as illustrated in the after photo. Our commitment to enhancing home environments ensured a lasting solution, significantly improving their home's insulation and overall energy efficiency.

A homeowner in Bloomington, MN, faced a common yet daunting challenge - their basement walls were caving in, in need of urgent support.

The owner of this home in Plymouth, MN noticed that their floors were uneven and separating in places. They decided to reach out to DBS after becoming irritated with the eyesore.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henry recommended our SmartJack® System to the homeowner to solve the sagging floor issue.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 2 SmartJack® supports and installed a new steel main beam to provide proper support to the home. 

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
