Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Duluth, MN had consistent flooding in their basement. As seen in the before photo, sediment was being carried in by the water, leaving a dirty mess in the basement. They knew it was most likely due to cracking in their foundation. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS. 

Sale Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support and the waterproofing system.

To permanently stabilize the basement walls, the production crew installed 13 PowerBrace™ steel I-beams. This PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightened over time, in order to restore the wall to its original position. A SuperSump® Premier Pump System was installed and will work hard to keep water up and out of the basement.

The egress window was also replaced and surrounded by a SentrySeal® rubber membrane to protect the egress area from water. 

This customer called DBS because he noticed that his main floor was sagging. Design Specialist, Royce Bunn, made a visit to this home and upon inspection suggested that the customer installed our patented SmartJack XL to help stabilize the sagging main support beam. Excited and relieved about the solution presented, the customer was eager to get the work started. Foreman Casey Healy and his crew were sent out to complete this task. First, they poured new footings for the jacks to securely rest on. Next, the SmartJacks were installed. This resulted in one happy customer, as he felt that his home was now safe and secure. 

This homeowner in Proctor, MN wanted to address the sinking and sagging floors in their home. They were worried the floor might collapse, so they reached out to DBS for a professional, permanent solution. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the best solution for the home's needs. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended our SmartJack® Support System.

Foreman Fred Bozvay led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used these jack systems to evenly support and distribute the weight of the structure. Once stabilized, the jacks can be adjusted to lift the floor above back to a level, even position.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is stable and supported. 

A homeowner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS regarding deck foundation stabilization. Their wood posts were being poorly supported with concrete footings, and they were in search of something to provide them with better strength. It was decided that the deck would have helical piers installed to bring lift and stabilization for the structure of the deck. These steel piers are ideal for this scenario, and the homeowner can now feel more comfortable with stronger deck support.

Check out the before and after from this project we did in Hermantown, MN. We installed our Helical Pier System to permanently stabilize this deck for the homeowner who was concerned about the foundation. Now they can relax with peace of mind!
