Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in St. Croix Falls, WI reached out to DBS looking for help with bowing basement walls.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Rich recommended our PowerBrace® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 14 PowerBrace® i-beams along the basement walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Each i-beam is bolted to the slab of the basement and secured to the rim joists of the home. At the top of each i-beam is a bracket that can be tightened during dry months in an attempt to move the wall back to its original position.

Now that the basement walls have been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

The owner of this home in Finlayson, MN had just purchased the property and wanted to take care of the foundation issues as it is a rental property. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James generated a quote for our push pier system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 8 push piers beneath the foundation of the home. Push piers work to lift and level homes from their settled state by being pushed into the ground with heavy machinery until they are secured in stable soil. During installation, the push piers experience massive loads while being installed-- heavier than the structure-- to ensure that once installed, they will not fail.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

A cabin owner in Brook Park, MN had concerns about the structure's foundation. The vertical supports in the crawl space beneath the cabin were leaning and causing concern. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS for more information about our foundation support systems. 

DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the Minnesota cabin and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support work. He determined that the crawl space would have helical piers installed to lift and support the home where the foundation was failing. 

DBS Foreman Trevor Ingle and his crew added 24 feet of supplemental support beneath the cabin. From there, they installed 8 helical piers and 4 SmartJack® support beams. To finish the job, they added our SilverGlo™ insulation topped with gravel as frost protection, preventing heaving to the foundation footings as the ground freezes during winter months.

DBS has a variety of foundation support solutions to permanently stabilize homes and cabins like this one.
