Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Duluth, MN foundation walls were stabilized by twenty of our patented PowerBraces. Over time, this home's foundation walls will straighten. 

The owner of this home has recently been investing a lot of money into their basement over the past few years. They were concerned about protecting the recent projects that they had completed after they had noticed stairstep cracking in the walls that occurred over the years. In hopes of finding a solution to their foundation failure, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist, James Miller, went out to the property to conduct a thorough, free, no-obligation estimate and inspection of the situation. Upon completion of examining the basement, and acknowledging the large horizontal cracks running through the walls, James determined that this home would be a great candidate for DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman, Osia Williams, took on this project along with his crew. Together they successfully installed 5 PowerBrace™ I-beams in the basement of this home to prevent the problem wall from any further cracking or bowing. The home is now permanently stabilized, and the owner can relax comfortably knowing that their previous investments are protected and that their home is sturdy and safe.

This homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing stairstep and horizontal cracks, as well as a shearing wall in their basement. The owner was worried the wall would cave in if it was not fixed soon, so they turned to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted this owner in a free no-obligation estimate for their home's needs. After inspection, he recommended the installation of PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System in order to stabilize their foundation as well as a WaterGuard® system to waterproof their basement.

Foreman Osia Williams led this team in the installation process. After excavating around the outside of the caving wall, the team installed 2 PowerBrace™ steel I-beams by securing steel brackets to the rim joists on the flooring. These PowerBrace™ beams have a 75-year warranty against movement and can be tightened over time to restore your wall back to its original position. To accompany this installation, the team also installed a WaterGuard® drain system to collect water through wall and floor seepage and avoid future leakage into the basement.

This home is now stable and dry, allowing the owner to live comfortably without the worry of leaks or cracks intruding in their home.
