Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A hotel in Aitkin, MN was experiencing stability issues with its block foundation walls, and DBS went out to provide some support. Our foreman and his crew were able to install a considerable amount of PowerBrace™ units around the area of the wall to maximize the strength of the foundation. These braces can also help to straighten out bowing walls over time, should they need it. 

These Aitkin, MN homeowners had a basement that transitioned into a crawlspace. They noticed some structural issues with sagging floors and faulty support beams. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS.

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the problem. DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew installed 5 Smartjack® stabilization beams as well as a supplemental support beam to replace the beam as seen in the photo.  

This home now has safe and stable floors to enjoy year-round!

This homeowner in Aitkin, MN was concerned with how far the foundation wall has moved. They wanted a permanent and professional solution, so they reached out to DBS for help.

James Miller assisted this homeowner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful and thorough inspection, James recommended our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System.

Foreman Fred Bozvay led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team attached a bracket to the ceiling joist and attached the bottom of the beam to the concrete footing. This beam will provide support so the wall will not move any further and it can also be adjusted over time to straighten the wall back to its original position. 

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is safe, secure, and stable.
