Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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.

A cabin owner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS regarding their cabin foundation. It was beginning to settle and sink in to the ground, which was concerning for the owner. A Design Specialist went out to the property to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the service.

The results turned out well, and the cabin has now been stabilized with the support of new beams.

This section of the foundation wall had cracks so extreme that the homeowner had to use expanding foam in an attempt to seal the home away from the wind, cold, and water outside of the home. The homeowner knew this solution was a temporary fix and provided zero structural integrity for the wall. Fortunately, they found out about the work DBS Residential Solutions does to permanently secure foundations. After a full evaluation of the situation the homeowner signed up for a blend of foundation repair solutions that were used across the home depending on the needs in certain areas. In the section pictured we used Helical Tie Backs and Carbon Armor Wall Anchors to permanently stabilize this foundation wall. With this in combination with patching the previous cracks we have created a stabilized wall that seals the home away from the outside environment.
