Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A new homeowner in Superior, WI wanted to ensure a safe and comfortable basement area for their family, and reached out to DBS for some assistance in trying to upgrade their basement system. The area contained concrete walls and flooring, which make it susceptible to several issues. After a visit from a Design Specialist, it was determined that the basement would need to have a combination of CarbonArmor® and WaterGuard® installed to provide maximum support for the basement. The CarbonArmor® will work to stabilize the concrete walls and prevent them from making any unwanted shifts. The WaterGuard® was installed around the perimeter of the basement, and will work to catach and extract any water from seeping in to the basement. These products can be viewed here in the "After" photo. 

The homeowner observed significant cracking in the floors and walls at the front of the house, caused by foundation settlement. This often indicates that the house is shifting out of its original alignment, making doors and windows difficult to open. During the inspection, the team noticed a visible gap before the lifting process began. By installing push piers, we were able to lift the home back to its proper level, ensuring it aligns with the rest of the house. The foundation is now permanently stabilized.

A homeowner in Superior, WI was concerned about their failing basement wall. This was a unique foundation, as it was poured in sections and had drywall installed. In order to fix the failing wall, the drywall would need to be stripped from the existing foundation. Then, it was determined that the wall would need to have the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System installed for added support. These anchors are ideal in that they are embedded within undisturbed soil on the exterior portion of the foundation, then attached to a separate anchor on the inside of the wall, creating a stable pulling force. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now be more comfortable with a stronger wall support system. 

This nightmare crawl space had constant standing water and was making the whole house smell. After contacting DBS Residential Solutions, our team got out to the home and installed a full CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The new insulated and encapsulated crawl space means no more musty smells and provides the homeowners with year round energy savings!

This foundation was being pushed by the soil on the outside of the home. This caused cracks in the foundation which allowed water to regularly enter the home. We helped to permanently stabilize the foundation and waterproof the basement with Power Braces and our CleanSpace liner on the wall that directs water down to the drain tile.
