Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Duluth, MN, a homeowner sought peace of mind amidst personal loss and was worried about their faltering foundation. Our team was committed to providing stability and comfort for the homeowner. When the crew went out to the property, they installed PowerBrace and EverBrace systems, visibly transforming despair into relief. We not only restored a foundation but also a sense of serenity in a home where it was most needed.

Before the transformation, the homeowner faced a common yet challenging issue in their Duluth, MN, property— a significantly uneven crawl space, as evident from the photo. The culprit? Weakening supports unable to bear the home's weight. Our ceiling crew swung into action, deploying SmartJack™ supports. These steel support systems are designed for stability and long-term peace of mind. Notice how the after photo showcases a dramatically leveled crawl space floor, restoring confidence and safety to our homeowner's foundation. Through this, we reinforced our commitment to providing not just solutions but a significant improvement to the quality of living spaces.

This homeowner in Duluth, MN was concerned about the basement foundation wall. They had noticed some stair-step cracking and movement along the wall, that had taken place over time. Wanting to prevent the problem from getting even worse, the homeowner reached out to DBS after doing some research online. Following a friendly phone call with the office staff, an appointment was made to have System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn go out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. At the appointment, Royce performed a thorough inspection and explained to the homeowner what the issue was and how it should be resolved. Royce explained that the best possible solution would be to install Push Piers to stabilize the foundation. These piers would help lift the home and bring it back to its original position using a tightening kit. The homeowner asked a few clarification questions and then both came to a comfortable price agreement. A date was set to have Primary Foreman, Kevin Steffey and his crew go out to the home to complete the installation. The homeowner no longer has to worry about the unstable foundation wall, now that there are Push Piers stabilizing it.

Just moved into your dream home in Duluth, MN and noticed uneven floors? The before photo shows how unsettling that can be. One homeowner faced this exact issue and wanted a perfect solution without constantly shimming furniture. Enter our fix: the SmartJack® XT system. As seen in the after photo, we reinforced the basement with foundation support, creating a solid base that made the home level. Now, the floors are stable, and furniture sits just as it should—perfectly.

These homeowners from Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracking foundation. The bricks outside the home were cracking and falling apart when DBS arrived. 

DBS Design Specialist James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the damage James recommended installing a helical pier on the problematic section of this home. Helical Piers reach solid bedrock deep below the surface of the earth and offer a permanent stabilization solution. This system is covered with dirt after installed and is completely hidden from sight. 

The foundation was stabilized by DBS Foreman Jose Valenzuela and his production crew.

This family now has a stable, healthy, safe, and comfortable home!
