Foundation Troubles in Grand Rapids, MN Repaired With CarbonArmor®

Homeowners in Grand Rapids, MN had concerns over some shifting and settling happening in their home. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate. 

A DBS Design Specialist did a thorough inspection of the home and presented a solution for the foundation issues. It was determined that a CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System, would be installed to support the sliding foundation blocks, as well as PowerBrace™ support beams. 

The DBS Foreman and production crew installed 8 PowerBrace™ beams in total and 4 CarbonArmor® wall straps. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a solid and supported home going forward!

Grand Rapids, MN Crawl Space Supported and Sealed

Homeowners in Grand Rapids, MN worked with DBS to correct their home's failing foundation. After that work was complete, they also decided to take steps to seal and support their crawl space with our Dr. Energy Saver services.

Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist on this project. After inspecting the damp crawl space, Royce recommended installing CleanSpace® vapor barrier over drainage matting, as well as a SmartSump™ to direct any water away from the space. 

The DBS Foreman and his production crew installed these products as well as 6 SmartJack® System beams to lift and support the crawl space. The installation was finished with TerraBlock™ insulation to prevent cold, damp air from entering the space. 

This home is now fully supported and will be healthy, safe, and comfortable for years to come.
