In Ashland, WI, we encountered a homeowner determined to preserve the integrity of her beloved home. Facing the grim reality of a failing foundation, exacerbated by standing water, mold proliferation, and hazardous knob and tube wiring, she reached out to our team. Acknowledging the seriousness of her situation, we sprang into action, utilizing our proven three-step process to address her home’s urgent needs. Initially, our Appointment Center facilitated a comprehensive home inspection appointment, setting the stage for an in-depth analysis of the crawl space issues. When our Design Specialist made their visit, they provided not just an assessment but a tailored solution designed to halt and reverse the damage. The advice was clear: installing our CleanSpace© system would effectively counteract the current dire conditions, transforming the crawl space into a dry, mold-resistant environment. Our production team, composed of skilled foremen and installers, arrived on-site with positivity and efficiency. The transformation was remarkable. They meticulously lined the crawl space with CleanSpace©, ensuring every inch was covered, effectively isolating the home from ground moisture, sealing out unwanted humidity, and removing conditions that promote mold growth. By the time we concluded our project, the initially daunting scenario of structural compromise, presents now as a testament to resilience and forward thinking. The homeowner’s once at-risk dwelling stands now on solid ground – quite literally.

What DBS Repair Uses to Stabilize Minnesota Foundations
Every Minnesota foundation problem has a permanent solution. DBS Repair uses proven, engineer-backed systems to stabilize, straighten, and restore homes from Duluth and St. Cloud to Brainerd, Baxter, Elk River, Sauk Rapids, and surrounding counties. And we back every repair with industry-leading, fully transferable warranties.
Foundation Piers:
The Permanent Fix for a Settling Foundation
The most reliable way to stop foundation settlement is to bypass weak soil entirely. DBS Repair installs steel foundation piers that transfer your home’s weight down to stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock, halting settlement permanently and often restoring the structure to its original level position.
Two pier systems we install:
What pier installation solves:
Crawl Space Support Jacks:
Permanent Support for Sagging Floors
Soft, bouncy, or uneven floors above a crawl space need an engineered solution. DBS Repair installs the SmartJack® System, a heavy-duty adjustable steel support post designed for long-term floor stability even in weak soils.
How SmartJack® installation works:
To protect your repair long-term, DBS Repair recommends:
Bowing Wall Repair:
Straighten and Stabilize Before It’s Too Late
A bowing foundation wall won’t fix itself. The longer it moves, the fewer options you have. DBS Repair installs proven, trusted systems to stop inward movement and restore wall strength.
Wall Anchor System
PowerBrace™ Wall System
✅ DBS Repair Tip: The earlier a bowing wall is addressed, the higher the chance of full straightening. Walls that have moved more than 2″ are harder and more costly to correct.
Sunken Slab Repair:
Lift and Level Without Full Replacement
A sinking concrete floor in a Minnesota home, garage, cabin, or lake property doesn’t always mean a full tear-out. DBS Repair uses two minimally invasive methods to lift, stabilize, and level settled slabs. Repairing concrete costs much less than the cost to replace concrete.
