DBS Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Soudan, MN had leaking in their basement due to cracking in their foundation wall. They reached out to DBS and met with Sales Manager Royce Bunn for a free, no-obligation estimate to create an action plan for the basement.

It was determined that 13 PowerBrace™ I-beams would be installed to lift the sinking ceiling and support the foundation walls. A DBS Foreman and crew completed the work, anchoring the beams to the basement concrete, as well as to the rim joists in the ceiling. These beams will be tightened overtime to restore the wall's original position.

The homeowners were happy with the work done and can now count on a safe and supported basement.

Concerned homeowners in Duluth, MN contacted DBS in hopes of a permanent solution for leaking in their basement. They had consistent issues with water leaking from a particular place in the basement foundation, only getting worse over time. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home for a free, no-obligation estimate for the best course of action. Foreman Zach Royer and his crew installed five GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the retaining wall. This system uses heavy-duty anchors in the soil connected with long galvanized rods to plates on the wall. These anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. 

The customer was happy with the work done and can now enjoy a supported basement!

WaterGuard® and our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump were recommended to make sure the basement stays dry all year long.
