Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Cloquet, MN found it proved difficult to open and close their back door during wintertime. 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 informed the homeowner that the issue was a direct result of foundation settlement and recommended our piering system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 2 helical piers in order to properly support the structure. Each pier was driven deep into the ground until lodged into a layer of stable soil strong enough to support the weight of the home.

Now that the foundation has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind. The homeowner sat down with us a little while after the project was completed to film a testimonial video that you can find on our Instagram page!
