Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This Hayward, WI cabin owners was in need of a permanent solution for their cabin foundation. As seen in the before photo, the foundation was cracking and shifting, in threat of collapsing in certain areas. 

After hearing about us from their neighbor, they called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate with our Design Specialist Rich Johnsen. He diagnosed the foundation issues beneath the cabin and designed a custom solution for the homeowners using two different wal support systems.

Foreman Nick Burley and his crew installed 4 GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses the heavy-duty anchors in and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. The team also installed a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System. This is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightened over time, in order to restore the walls to their original position. The PowerBrace™ beams are zinc-plated and backed with a 75-year warranty against movement.

The customer was happy with the work done and now had a permanent solution they can count on for years to come.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home in order to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended our Piering Services.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project with help from a team. These piers are driven into the ground using hydraulic pressure. Once the pier reaches solid, stable soil, the pressure pushes against the ground and causes the piers to raise the structure.
