Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Barnum, MN reached out to DBS after becoming concerned about their tenant's safety as the basement walls were bowed and cracked.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner and after a thorough inspection recommended our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 8 PowerBrace® i-beams in the basement of the home. The PowerBrace® system comes with a 75-year warranty against the additional movement, ensuring that once installed, the wall will be permanently stabilized. Brackets at the top of each PowerBrace® can be tightened during dry seasons in an attempt to straighten the wall back to its original position as well.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can have peace of mind and not need to worry about the safety of their tenants.

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henry recommended our SmartJack® System to the homeowner.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed the main steel beam and 11 SmartJack® supports underneath in order to permanently stabilize the foundation. The crew also installed a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier on the ground and applied spray foam to the vertical walls in order to provide some insulation to the space.

Now that the home has been stabilized and insulated, the homeowners can relax with peace of mind and their crawl space is maintenance-free.

Nestled against an Eleva, Wisconsin hill with an ATV trail, the homeowner of this south-facing home was troubled by a moving, cracked foundational wall. Years of searching for a solution only to be met with disappointment, until we stepped in! As you can see from the before photo, the structural integrity was compromised, but our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor system came to the rescue. Notice in the after photo how stabilized and secure the wall appears – a remarkable transformation, providing lasting peace of mind for the homeowner.

We replaced the rotting wood posts in this Sawyer, Minnesota home with Smartjacks. Then encapsulated the floor to protect the dampness and mold smell from entering the house. The homeowner will now have a more comfortable living space with the crawlspace being properly finished.

This 1960's home in Danbury, WI is positioned beautifully on a hill, sloping towards a lake. The homeowners were worried about some structural issues and reached out to DBS in search of a permanent solution. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate to permanently stabilize the home. Foreman, Zach Royer, and his crew were tasked with installation on this project and successfully installed 8 Push Piers into the ground at key points to support the home's structure. The home is now supported by competent soil far beneath the ground's surface.

The homeowners were happy with the work performed and now have a comfortable and safe space for family gatherings and grandchildren to play.
