Cracking Basement Wall in Virginia, MN Concerns Owner, DBS Installs PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System Solution

The owner of this home in Virginia, MN was becoming frustrated with their basement foundation as they noticed cracking and leaking only became worse as time went on. Looking for a permanent solution, the owner reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller drove out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issues. After a thorough inspection, James advised the owner that DBS had solutions for both leaking and foundational issues in the basement. The owner was only interested in installing the foundational solution at the time but plans on consulting DBS for waterproofing in the future. A DBS solution called PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System permanently stabilizes foundation walls, and this solution is what James recommended to the owner.

A Foreman went to the property at a later date to lead the installation of this project. With the help of a crew, they installed 3 PowerBrace™ I-beams to support the wall that was cracked and bowing inwards. Following a proper installation, the home is now permanently stabilized against additional cracking and bowing.

The homeowner can now relax comfortably in the home without worrying about their foundation wall caving in.
