Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners from Bovey, Minnesota reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked and bowing foundation walls. Luckily wall damage was present and foundation settlement was not. The wall failure indicated that increasing soil pressure over time was damaging the structural integrity of this home.

After inspecting the home and walls Henrik recommended installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams. These steel I-beams come from Supportworks® and offer an immediate wall stabilization solution. Over time, PowerBrace™ wall support beams are tightened in an attempt to bring bowing walls back to level. This progress is benchmarked during annual maintenance appointments through our DBS Customer Care Club. PowerBrace™ wall support beams are installed with a 75-year fully-transferable and nationally-backed warranty!
