Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The homeowner of this property was excited to remodel their cabin in Tower, MN. Upon inspecting the house before major remodel, they discovered that their home had major foundational issues. Looking for a solution, the owner called DBS.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After completing a thorough inspection, he informed the owners that their foundation had sunk into the soil over the years and that is what caused sagging floors. Rich advised them that DBS has a solution that can permanently stabilize their cabin as well as prevent it from additional sinking and settling.

Foreman Trevor Ingle took on the lead for the installation of this project. With the assistance of a crew, they installed 24 SmartJack® supports along with 20 helical piers in order to provide enough support to the cabin. The SmartJack® supports were installed underneath the house in order to level the flooring, and the helical piers were driven underneath the perimeter of the house in order to help prevent the home from further sinking and settling.

After a successful installation, the cabin is guaranteed permanently stabilized, and the homeowner can relax comfortably knowing that their future investments will be protected once they decide to remodel.
