How the Repair Was Done
At DBS, we recently helped a homeowner in White Bear Lake, MN, who was experiencing serious foundation issues affecting both their chimney and crawlspace. The chimney had begun settling due to foundation movement, while the crawlspace was exposed to outdoor elements, creating structural and moisture concerns. Seeking a permanent solution, the homeowner contacted our team for professional foundation repair in White Bear Lake, MN.
The project began with a complete inspection performed by one of our experienced System Design Specialists. After carefully evaluating the property, we recommended installing our proven Push Pier foundation support system to stabilize the settling chimney and our durable EverBrace® wall restoration system to secure and reinforce the exposed crawlspace.
Our production team installed the Push Pier system beneath the chimney foundation to permanently stabilize the structure and prevent additional settlement. Next, the EverBrace® system was installed to strengthen and seal the crawlspace, protecting the area from outside exposure while improving the overall structural integrity of the home.
The Result
After the repair was completed, the homeowner immediately noticed a significant improvement in the stability and safety of their home. The chimney was fully stabilized using the Push Pier system, eliminating concerns about future settlement and structural movement.
The crawlspace was also successfully reinforced and sealed with EverBrace®, providing long-term protection against outdoor exposure and structural deterioration. Thanks to our expert foundation repair services in White Bear Lake, MN, the homeowner now has a safer, stronger, and more secure home.
To complete the project, our team thoroughly cleaned the work area, leaving the property in excellent condition. The final result delivered lasting peace of mind and dependable structural support for years to come.
