Drain Lines Installed to Stop Water Damage in Ashland, WI Basement

This Ashland, WI home was suffering from water intrusion that was causing water damage. The homeowners wanted a permanent and reliable solution, so they reached out to DBS for help. 
Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the home to run a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik recommended and created a quote for our Basement Waterproofing System.

The crew installed our WaterGuard® french drains along the perimeter of the basement to collect and help remove the water intrusion.

Cabin Foundation Stabilization in Ashland, WI

The new owners of this 150-year-old cabin in Ashland, WI were looking for a way to permanently lift and stabilize the cabin. Wanting the job down professionally, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist, James Miller, 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 to permanently lift and stabilize the cabin.

DBS Foreman, Nate Simonson, and his crew mate, Adam Upton, then installed 20 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 new cabin owners can now have a piece of mind knowing the cabin is permanently stabilized.
