Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Two Harbors, MN had been living in this home for around 25 years. Over the last 5 years, they noticed that cracks in the foundation were starting to worsen. The family had plans to renovate the basement but wanted to take care of the structural issues first. They contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation work.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a thorough inspection as well as an estimate for the bowing basement walls. He proposed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to permanently stabilize and restore the cracked and bowing walls. 

DBS Foreman Joe Harris and his crew first applied a layer of Foamax insulation that will add a radiant barrier to the walls. This material is waterproof, perfect for the basement environment where leaks are common. Then they installed 11 PowerBrace I-beams, connecting them to the basement's concrete floor and ceiling joists. These beams will be tightened over time by our service department with the goal of restoring the wall to its original position. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and can now begin their plans to renovate their home!
