Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Two Harbors, MN, a homeowner reached out to DBS regarding their failing foundation wall.

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.

Basement Repair Production Manager Kevin Steffey and his crew installed over 100 feet of supplemental support beams to restore the garage foundation.

This cabin owner in Two Harbors, MN wanted to address the stability of their boathouse. Settling had begun causing the structure to start sinking into the lake. Wanting a professional and permanent solution, the homeowner trusted DBS to help. 

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams visited the property to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate for the owner. After a careful inspection, a quote was provided for our helical pier support solution.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used hydraulic pressure to drive the screw-like pier into the ground. Once the pier reached native, solid soil the hydraulic pressure moves upwards and lifts the structure. This creates an even, stable support for the boathouse.

This owner can now relax knowing the boathouse is safe from sinking.
