Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing structural issues with their crawl space. Failing crawl space support can eventually lead to sagging floors in the main area of a home, and cause bigger problems over time. In need of a solution to this, the owner reached out to DBS. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the crawl space would need to have several SmartJack® units installed within the crawl space to provide that added support. The SmartJack® is an ideal product for crawl space stabilization as it can support loads of over 60,000 lbs. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now be more comfortable with a reinforced crawl space area. 

Owners of this 1920's Duluth, MN home reached out to DBS for information on waterproofing their leaky basement. After moving into this home about 10 years ago, they noticed issues with moisture and leaking right away. They also noticed some uneveness in the home's floor, and sticking windows.

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate for waterproofing and foundation support. Our foreman and production team installed a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System in the basement. From there, our crew installed the 4 PowerBrace™ beams to stop the walls from further movement and 6 SmartJack® support beams to lift the sagging structure. 

These homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a safe and dry basement to enjoy!

This Duluth, MN customer called DBS wanting an estimate on stabilizing their foundation walls. Our specialist, Royce Bunn, visited this home and was able to provide a quailty solution to permanently stabilize the basement foundation walls. The use of our PowerBrace system would ensure these foundation walls would straighten over time.

Before this homeowner could move into their new home in Duluth, MN, the home had been experiencing cracked and bulging walls on the west side of their duplex, noticeable in the 'before' photo. Understanding the urgency, we scheduled our work meticulously to get our Design Specialist out as soon as possible. As seen in the 'after' photo, we effectively stabilized and secured the foundation using our PowerBrace and GeoLock Wall Anchor systems. Our dedication ensured a reliable solution, providing peace of mind and a safer home environment.

This homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing problems with the stabilization in their crawlspace. Failing, rotting wood supplemental beams and bad wall support were the main concerns. DBS worked with this homeowner to help them find a permanent solution.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided this homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate to find this perfect solution. After careful inspection, Rich suggested that the homeowner install a SmartJack® System in order to stabilize the home. 

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, this team installed 8 SmartJack® Systems that work together to evenly distribute the weight of the structure for maximum support. These steel jack systems are able to stabilize and reposition the home in order to reverse and prevent further damage. 

This homeowner will not have to worry about instability in their crawl space any longer thanks to this DBS solution.
