Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The main beams in this crawl space in Ashland, WI were being improperly supported by the cement blocks underneath. Over time, the supports sunk into the soil as moisture levels fluctuated. Looking for a solution, the homeowner reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After a thorough inspection, they educated the homeowners on what causes foundations to settle and sink into the soil and provided them with a solution to their problem called the SmartJack® System.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they replaced the old wooden beam with a sturdy steel I-beam. They also installed 3 SmartJack® supports to complete the foundation stabilization.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner will notice that their floors are more stable and have been leveled. They are able to relax with peace of mind without worrying about their floor collapsing.

The new owners of this 150-year-old cabin in Ashland, WI were looking for a way to permanently lift and stabilize the cabin. Wanting the job down professionally, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist, James Miller, visited the cabin and provided the owners with a free, no-obligation estimate. James recommended the installation of helical piers along the cabin's foundation to permanently lift and stabilize the cabin.

DBS Foreman, Nate Simonson, and his crew mate, Adam Upton, then installed 20 helical piers around the cabin to lift and stabilize the cabin. These helical are driven into the ground using hydraulic pressure. Once the pier reaches solid, stable bedrock, the pressure pushes against the ground and causes the piers to stabilize the structure. 

The new cabin owners can now have a piece of mind knowing the cabin is permanently stabilized.
