Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This local Duluth, MN homeowner needed extra stability in her home. Due to a flood in 2012, the support beams in the house were experiencing wood rot, causing the beams to be unstable and in need of assistance.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted this homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate to help find the perfect solution for their home. After inspecting the area, Henrik decided that installing a SmartJack® System would be the perfect permanent solution for this home. 

Foreman Osia Williams, along with his team, installed this solution. The SmartJack® System uses steel tube beams and footing to stabilize and support the structure. These beams evenly distribute the weight and can reposition the home back to its original position, making it a secure and lasting solution. 

This homeowner no longer needs to worry about instability and can relax peacefully in their home

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing structural issues with their crawl space. Failing crawl space support can eventually lead to sagging floors in the main area of a home, and cause bigger problems over time. In need of a solution to this, the owner reached out to DBS. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the crawl space would need to have several SmartJack® units installed within the crawl space to provide that added support. The SmartJack® is an ideal product for crawl space stabilization as it can support loads of over 60,000 lbs. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now be more comfortable with a reinforced crawl space area.
