Proudly serving Minnesota and Wisconsin - including Duluth, Minneapolis, Eau Claire and nearby areas
The homeowner of this house in Hibbing, MN had recently purchased the property and had DBS's warranty from projects completed previously transferred over to her. One of DBS's Servicemen Jacob Nustad went out to the property to get her accustomed to the DBS hardware that had previously been installed. Upon inspection he noticed that a portion of the floor above was still sagging, so he advised her that the addition of a couple more SmartJack® supports would resolve the issue in the future.
The initial Design Specialist assigned to this job, Rich Johnsen, advised the previous homeowner on solutions that DBS has to offer.
A Foreman from DBS installed the previous projects and work that had been completed includes installing foundational repair products including 3 SmartJack® supports, and 13 PowerBrace™ I-beams, as well as the installation of waterproofing technology called WaterGuard® Drainage System and TripleSafe™ sump pump. CleanSpace® was also installed on the surface of the basement walls in order to direct water into the WaterGuard® drains. The foundation repairs that had been done were to correct wall cracking and sagging floors, and the waterproofing installations were made to protect the basement from water damage.
The new owner of this house has peace of mind knowing that their basement walls have been permanently stabilized, and can relax comfortably knowing that the basement waterproofing system will keep the house dry.
