The owners of this home in Aurora, MN experienced issues with water leaking into their basement. The couple said that the leak was so bad that water would spew out as if it were running from a hose. They decided to reach out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution after being referred by a friend.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen met the owners at their home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, Rich advised the owners that DBS had a solution that would solve their problem called WaterGuard® Drain System. 

A Foreman led the installation of the project and with the help of a team, they successfully installed the WaterGuard® System. It was installed by jackhammering trenches for the drains to be placed into and then are covered in concrete to create a flush look. Typically this system is paired with a sump pump but the original one was in working condition.

Now that the basement has been properly waterproofed, the owners should experience a drier home environment and will be able to relax comfortably in their healthy home.

All 4 walls in this basement in Aurora, MN were bowing to a large degree. There were stairstep cracks as well as large horizontal cracks in the block foundation and total wall failure was inevitable. Looking for a solution, the owner called DBS.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After a thorough inspection, he recommended that the owners employ DBS to install PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to permanently stabilize their foundation.

Foreman Zach Jorenby less the installation of this project. With the help of a team together they installed 6 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The PowerBrace™ I beams are installed by securing steel brackets to the rim joists of the flooring. Over time the brackets can be tightened in an attempt to straighten the walls. Each PowerBrace™ is backed with a 75-year transferrable warranty so if the owners ever sell their property the next owners will be able to claim the warranty if the PowerBrace™ were to ever fail.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the owners can relax comfortably in their home without worrying that their foundation walls will cave in.

Each I-beam is affixed to the rim joists of the home with steel brackets. The PowerBrace™ System was a great solution for this basement because the owners intended on finishing their basement in the future and PowerBrace™ I-beams are steel beams with a zinc plating so that they never rust and become an eyesore.
