Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for information on stabilizing their garage which was built on a hill. 

Design Specialist Rich Johnson went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Our GeoLock® Wall Anchor System was recommended to stabilize the garage in the most effective way. A DBS foreman and their production team installed the products which immediately stabilized the walls and prevented any future damage from occurring.

This homeowner in Duluth, MN was dissatisfied with her basement which had a few notable problems. Stair-step cracking had found its way along the stone block foundation and water had damaged sections of the basement. Wanting to take care of this problem and prevent it from getting even worse, the homeowner reached out to DBS, the local experts in All Things Basementy™. Office Manager, Kelsey Anderson picked up the call and was happy to help the homeowner out. An appointment was set to have System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn go out to the home for a free inspection and no obligation estimate. At the appointment, the homeowner explained her concerns to Royce. Following a thorough inspection, Royce described the best possible solution to solve her problems.
