Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN resident had been living in this home for over 50 years. They had some cracking in the foundation, but it hadn't really caused any trouble until about 5 years ago, when cracks in the foundation were starting to worsen. Water was leaking into the basement through the cracked foundation and causing damage to their wall panels.

DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a thorough inspection and a free, no-obligation estimate for the bowing basement walls. He proposed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to permanently stabilize and restore the shifting foundation, as well as both interior and exterior waterproofing systems.

DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his crew first excavated the soil around the home's exterior to prep for a wall straightening procedure. From there, they installed 10 PowerBrace I-beams, connecting them to the basement's concrete floor and ceiling joists. Initial tightening by our crew was done to immediately straighten the wall's position.

After the wall staightening procedure, they added a waterproof membrane to the exterior foundation. This will prevent water from seeping into the foundation wall blocks.

The homeowner can now rest easy knowing that their home is safe and dry!

Foreman Glen Olcott and his crew went out to install our products. First, they installed our WaterGuard® french drain system around the perimeter of the basement to help collect water and transfer it to the sump pump. Then they installed a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier on the walls. The CleanSpace® will help collect runoff from the walls.
