Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Owners of this 1950's home in Canyon, MN had issues with water seeping through foundation cracks in the basement. As evidenced in the before photo, this basement has sustained water damage from prolonged water exposure. Tired of cleaning up their flooded basement after heavy rains, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair and waterproofing system. DBS Foreman Joe Harris and crew installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, that will direct all moisture to a new SingleSafe™ Sump Pump. The crew also installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the walls that were extra prone to water leakage. 

To correct the structural issues, the team installed 4 PowerBrace™ beams to correct the bowing foundation walls, as well as 8 SmartJack® beams to support the sinking basement supports. 

This home is now protected against further structural movement and water issues.

Notice the secured beam, an embodiment of safety, ensuring our homeowner can now confidently pursue their basement's transformation.

A cabin in Brimson, MN was experiencing foundation settlement and the owner was concerned for the structure. A Design Specialist was able to visit the property and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support service. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the cabin would need to have both helical piers and a helical support beam installed to even out the structure and stop it from any further settling.
