Foundation Repair for Old Duluth, MN Home

Originally built in the early 1900's this Duluth, MN home was experiencing some foundation trouble. It was first built in another part of the city and moved onto a new foundation where it is now located. After receiving a referral from another contractor, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation work.

DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a thorough inspection as well as an estimate for the bowing basement walls. He proposed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System and GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize and restore the cracked and bowing walls. 

DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew installed 4 GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System. To install this system, earth was removed outside the home and GeoLock earth anchors were installed. They were then connected to a long, galvanized steel rod to Wall Plates on the foundation's interior. These steel rods will be tightened over time by our service department with the goal of restoring the wall to its original position. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and can now count on a fully stabilized foundation.
