Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this structure noticed cracking in the walls of the foundation along with water leaking through the walls. They have recently been thinking about reselling the property, and in hopes of finding a solution to increase the resale value of her property, they contacted DBS solutions.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After completing a thorough inspection, Henrik suggested that this property would greatly benefit from DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman Osia Williams completed this project along with his team, and they successfully installed 2 PowerBrace™ I-beams that will correct bowing and prevent further cracking over time. DBS consulted with the owner upon completion of the first project to come back a second time in order to install waterproofing materials.

The owner of this property can now think clearly about potentially reselling the property now that they are assured the foundation is sound, sturdy, and stabilized.

This homeowner in Iron River, WI wanted to address the cracks in their block foundation. These stairstep cracks are a sign of instability and needed to be addressed before they got any worse.

Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for the home. After a careful inspection, it was decided that Geo-Lock™'s Wall Anchors would be the best solution.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project. The team began by excavating an area outside of the home to install the earth anchor. This anchor is attached to a steel plate that is installed inside of the home. Once connected, the system can be adjusted to pull the cracked wall back into its original position. This system will also continue to hold the wall in place.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is safe and secure.
