Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS through our website to have the basement walls evaluated. There was some cracking and there was concern about the integrity of their home. 

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, examined the walls in question and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After the inspection was complete, Rich recommended our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to address the basement wall issues in this home. 

A DBS Foreman led the installation with the help of a production crew, and they installed 18 PowerBrace™ braces to the basement walls. 

With the basement walls permanently stabilized, DBS was able to restore peace of mind for the homeowners.

When foundation problems are caught when they first begin they can often be permanently stabilized with our patented Power Braces. These are used when a foundation wall is secure, but shows signs of worsening over time. Instead of allowing the wall to bow and crack further we installed Power Braces to ensure the wall is permanently stabilized.

This foundation wall had experienced the effects of the backfilled earth continuously pushing on the foundation wall. The wall had cracked and was at risk to get much worse, fortunately the homeowner understood the severity of the situation and chose to have us install our incredibly strong carbon armor straps against the wall to aid it in maintaining its position. These straps are very versatile and since they lay flat to the wall they don't create any bulky obstacles in the basement. 

This wall had several cracks in it and the homeowner was concerned with the integrity of the wall, but they still wanted to have space to make this a finished space once again. With our Carbon Armor Straps we were able to secure the wall without disturbing the space in the room. This area can now be finished as if nothing had ever happened. 

This homeowner was experiencing issues caused by many significant cracks that made their way across the foundation of the home. In this situation where the foundation could easily be repaired from the inside, our Foundation Specialist recommended we use Power Braces to permanently stabilize the foundation. This solution was implemented across the whole home and the homeowner no longer has worsening concerns with the structural security of their home.
