DBS Before & After Photos

The owner of this cabin and his family hand-built the cabin in the 80s all with wood from the property. Decades later, the foundation was no longer stable. Wanting to keep the cabin in his family, he reached out to DBS to permanently stabilize his family's cabin.

Design Specialist, Jake Gilmer, visited the cabin and provided the owners with a free, no-obligation estimate. James recommended the installation of helical piers along the cabin's foundation and beams installed underneath the cabin to permanently lift and stabilize the cabin.

DBS Foreman, Trevor Ingle, and his Co-Foreman, Gavin Denzler, then installed the helical piers around the cabin to lift and stabilize the cabin. These helical are driven into the ground using hydraulic pressure. Once the pier reaches solid, stable bedrock, the pressure pushes against the ground and causes the piers to stabilize the structure. 

The cabin owner can now have a piece of mind knowing his cabin is permanently stabilized.

A homeowner from Hibbing, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their wet, unsupported basement foundation. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Basement Repair Systems.

One of our crews installed our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System to permanently stabilize the foundation walls. Our crew also installed our WaterGuard® french drain system to thoroughly waterproof the space. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

This homeowner in Hibbing, MN reached out to DBS after a potential home sale was jeopardized by a concerning wall issue. The previous buyer backed out due to the problem, and the homeowners were determined to address it promptly to avoid any hindrance in the future. The homeowner wanted a permanent fix to ensure the structural integrity of the wall.

Upon inspection of the property, our Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, devised a plan to address the wall issue effectively. The chosen solution involved cutting sections of the wall to install PowerBraces™, specifically in the finished room where the problem was most prominent.

The DBS crew then proceeded with the installation, strategically placing five PowerBraces™, with two in the finished wall room, ensuring a robust and long-lasting solution.

The collaborative effort between the homeowner and our team resulted in a successful project. The homeowners were pleased with the outcome, confident that the wall issue was permanently addressed, and expressed satisfaction that the resolution met their expectations.

This homeowner reached out to DBS due to experiencing significant cold drafts in their entryway where they store their coats. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, they recommended using our insulation services to help stop the cold drafts from entering the home. There was also a cabinet above the basement stairs that required new insulation due to old fiberglass that was originally there, which was causing chill drafts both in the entryway and around the house.

When our crew arrived at the property, they spray-foamed the rim joists in the basement and the floors and entryway were instantly warmer!

This homeowner in Hibbing, MN, with a century-old home had a unique challenge - the center main beam had dropped more than an inch, causing uneven floors and potential stress on the structure. To solve the stability issue we installed our SmartJack® System. This innovative approach allowed us to lift and stabilize the flooring, carefully aligning the home’s foundation closer to its original state. Despite initial concerns of cracking, this precise method minimized damage while significantly improving structural integrity, showcasing our commitment to delivering a remarkable customer experience with lasting results.
