Photo Album: Cracked Foundation in Duluth, MN Repaired with DBS

This Duluth, MN home had issues with a cracked and bowing foundation. The homeowners were in the process of selling the home but they knew they needed to repair the foundation first. After receiving a referral on how to best protect their basement, they contacted DBS. DBS Design Specialist James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation inspection and estimate for the work. After visiting the home, James reviewed the inspection with the homeowner and recommended the installation of our PowerBrace™ system. This unique foundation repair system permanently stabilizes walls and has a tightening system that can be adjusted over time to restore the wall to its original position. DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew installed 5 PowerBrace™ wall support beams to stabilize the walls and prevent any further movement. These galvanized steel I-beams come with a 25-year nationally-backed warranty. The homeowners can now confidently put this home on the market!
