Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Forest Lake, MN was concerned about water damage and mold growth in their home caused by water leaking through cracks in the basement walls. Looking for a solution, the homeowner reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist generated a quote for our WaterGuard® and PowerBrace™ Systems to solve the water and structural issues.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed the WaterGuard® drains by jackhammering trenches around the interior perimeter of the basement and fixing the drains into them. Then they covered the holes in cement for a smooth finish. Then they began the installation of the PowerBrace™ System. They secured each PowerBrace™ i-beam with steel brackets to the rim joists of the home, and bolted the bottom to the basement floor, permanently stabilizing the wall.

Now that the basement has been permanently stabilized and waterproofed, the homeowner can relax peacefully and safely in their home.
