Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Duluth, MN were in the process of renovating their house when they moved some storage and found wall cracks throughout the home. They wanted to find a permanent fix for their problems so they did not have to worry about the health of their home in the future. DBS was ready for the job.

Design Specialist James Miller assisted these homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for their home. After careful inspection, James recommended the installation of push piers to lift their settled home back into its original position.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team excavated the area around the home and installed 3 push piers. Using hydraulic pressure, the push piers are driven further into the native soil and are able to lift the structure up. This causes the home to shift back to its original position for both great stability and a clean finish. 

These homeowners will not have to worry about their homes becoming unstable again, thanks to the DBS solution. 

This homeowner in Duluth, MN was concerned about the condition of the back deck. Over time, the deck beams had rotated and shifted away from the original position, causing the deck to lose stability. After doing a bit of research online, the homeowner reached out to DBS to find the best quality solution. Following a brief friendly phone call with the DBS office staff, an appointment was made to have System Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen make a trip out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. Rich was able to show the homeowners the exact problem and explain to them the best possible solution. He explained to the homeowners that the installation of helical piers would help reposition the deck back to its original location. Following a comfortable price agreement, an appointment was set to have Primary Foreman, Casey Healy and his crew come out for the installation. In order to maintain the original deck’s position, the new piers were installed near the old ones, so that the deck’s weight could be transitioned right over to the newly stabilized helical piers. With the installation of these great piers, the homeowner no longer has to worry about the stability of the deck.
