Extreme Wall Bowing in Saint Paul, MN Home Stabilized Using PowerBrace® Reinforcement

This home in Saint Paul, MN was suffering from severe wall bowing. Without addressing this issue, the outside pressure from the soil could cause the walls to collapse. The owner needed a solution and needed it fast, so they reached out to DBS for help.

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the perfect solution for the home's needs. After a thorough inspection, a quote was provided for our PowerBrace® Wall Reinforcement System.

A Foreman from DBS led the installation of the project with help from a team.

These beams can be adjusted over time to straighten the wall and restore it back to its original position.

Crooked Home in Saint Paul, MN Lifted and Leveled Using Helical Piers
