Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Silver Bay, MN wanted to find a solution for their cracked basement wall. They wanted to ensure the safety of the home, so they reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist James Miller went out to the home to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a careful and close inspection, James recommended our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System and provided the homeowners with a quote.

Foreman Jordan Salmi led the installation of this project with help from a crew. The crew installed the earth anchor underground outside of the home. Then, the steel plates are installed on the inside of the cracked wall. These two pieces of the system are connected using a steel rod and can be adjusted to pull the wall back to a straight position.

These homeowners can now relax knowing their home is safe and stabilized. 

In Silver Bay, MN, a homeowner contacted DBS Repair after experiencing sagging front and back porches, along with cracks in the interior walls. These issues threatened both the home’s stability and the owner’s peace of mind. To resolve the problem, our team installed a Helical Pier System designed to reach deep, load-bearing soils. These engineered steel piers permanently stabilized and lifted the foundation, restoring structural integrity. The after results highlight the renewed strength and lasting protection of the home.

The results were transformative: the walls were stabilized, and the homeowner regained confidence in their home's safety.
