Aurora, MN homeowner reached out to DBS with concerns about a wet basement and cracks in their basement walls.
DBS Design Specialist, Royce Bunn, went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for a solution to their basement problems.
Our DBS Foreman and production crew then installed our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System to immediately stabilize the cracked walls. Over time the PowerBrace® System is tightened by our service team to restore the wall to level. The crew also installed our CleanSpace® Technology along the basement walls and SuperSump® Premier Pump System to ensure a dry and clean basement space.
The homeowner can now feel safe with permanently stabilized walls and a dry, clean basement!
When this customer first experienced foundation problems they had a home-made solution that had not helped to permanently stabilize or straighten the wall. We used Geo-Lock anchors to stabilize the wall and straighten it over time. The first photo is mid-way through the project. After another anchor was added and both were tightened, the large crack in the wall closed up.
This is a great example of how the use of PowerBraces™ can help straighten and strengthen a wall over time. System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn visited this home and proposed the use of six PowerBraces™ to fix the bowing wall. The homeowner had tried various other solutions over the years to fix the bowing wall, but nothing had helped. They even had another foundation wall installed to help fix the bowing exterior wall. The homeowner now rests easy as the experts at DBS have found a permanent solution to fix this problem.
In Two Harbors, MN, a homeowner reached out to DBS regarding their failing foundation wall. When old block walls start to wear down, they cancrack and bow, which may be damaging to the overall structure of the home. Luckily, a crew was able to go to the residence and install the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System for foundation support. This before and after set displays on of the block walls in need of stabilization, and the CarbonArmor® strips are optimal in doing so. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable environment.
