Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners from Brule, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked foundation walls. The lower level of their home was partially underground with the top third above the ground. 

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Nathan recommended installing GeoLock™ earth anchors to permanently stabilize the failing walls. The GeoLock™ support system works by connecting two plates together using galvanized steel rods and plates. One plate is installed outside the home in stable soil and the other is placed on the wall inside the home. Over time these connected plates are tightened to correct bowing walls. 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

The owner of this home in Aurora, MN was experiencing loud settling noises occurring as the foundation cracked and sank deeper into the soil. After learning about DBS through signs around town, they decided to reach out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist James Miller went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a thorough inspection, James recommended a solution offered by DBS called helical piers.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project. With the help of a crew, together they installed the helical piers. The piers are installed by driving each one into the ground beneath the foundation and are designed to permanently stabilize the foundations.

Now that the helical piers have been installed, the owner should not hear any more settling noises coming from their home and they can relax comfortably knowing that they are safe.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After thoroughly inspecting the basement, Rich advised the owners that DBS has a solution that would properly stabilize their basement called PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman Zach Jorenby led the installation of this project. With help from a team, together they installed 12 PowerBrace™ I-beams. Each I-beam is affixed to the rim joists of the home with steel brackets. The PowerBrace™ System was a great solution for this basement because the owners intended on finishing their basement in the future and PowerBrace™ I-beams are steel beams with a zinc plating so that they never rust and become an eyesore. 

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the owners can relax comfortably without worrying about their basement walls caving in.

Foreman Fred Bozvay led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team began by excavating an area outside to place the earth anchors. These earth anchors are attached by a steel pole to a steel plate located inside of the home. Once attached, the system can be adjusted to pull the wall back to its original position.

These homeowners can now relax knowing their home is secure and safe.
