CASE STUDY
FOUNDATION WALL REPAIR IN CHASKA, MN
A homeowner in Chaska, MN, was facing concerning foundation wall issues. We stepped in with a versatile, low-profile solution, installing our CarbonArmor® system to conform to the walls perfectly and provide the permanent strength the basement needed.
After hearing about DBS Repair on the radio this customer finally knew there was someone reliable who could confidently help her with the foundation issue she was facing. She called DBS to learn more about the different solutions and set up a free estimate with our specialist Jon. When Jon visited the property he was warmly welcomed into the home and was shown the problem area. As a part of his inspection, Jon looked at the problem area, but he also looked around the perimeter of the entire basement and the outside of the home to determine the extent of the problem and what exactly would need to be addressed to create a well-advised solution for the problem. After seeing the extent of the issue at the property Jon sat down with the homeowner to explain what he saw and why he was recommending the services that he was recommending. At DBS we have a wide array of different solutions depending on the needs of the home and the aspirations of the customer, so we take time to explain exactly why we see certain solutions as the optimal fit. After Jon had explained the benefits of the Carbon Armor Straps and why they would make a smart option, in this case, the homeowner understood the value of adding them to her home and decided to move forward with the project. By using Carbon Armor in the customer’s basement we provided a versatile option that worked well across the entire basement. With varying heights of walls and different degrees of foundation damage, this option provided the strength that the basement needed while conforming to the particular area.

What DBS Repair Uses to Stabilize Minnesota Foundations
Every Minnesota foundation problem has a permanent solution. DBS Repair uses proven, engineer-backed systems to stabilize, straighten, and restore homes from Duluth and St. Cloud to Brainerd, Baxter, Elk River, Sauk Rapids, and surrounding counties. And we back every repair with industry-leading, fully transferable warranties.

Foundation Piers:
The Permanent Fix for a Settling Foundation
The most reliable way to stop foundation settlement is to bypass weak soil entirely. DBS Repair installs steel foundation piers that transfer your home’s weight down to stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock, halting settlement permanently and often restoring the structure to its original level position.
Two pier systems we install:
What pier installation solves:
Crawl Space Support Jacks:
Permanent Support for Sagging Floors
Soft, bouncy, or uneven floors above a crawl space need an engineered solution. DBS Repair installs the SmartJack® System, a heavy-duty adjustable steel support post designed for long-term floor stability even in weak soils.
How SmartJack® installation works:
To protect your repair long-term, DBS Repair recommends:
Bowing Wall Repair:
Straighten and Stabilize Before It’s Too Late
A bowing foundation wall won’t fix itself. The longer it moves, the fewer options you have. DBS Repair installs proven, trusted systems to stop inward movement and restore wall strength.
Wall Anchor System
PowerBrace™ Wall System
✅ DBS Repair Tip: The earlier a bowing wall is addressed, the higher the chance of full straightening. Walls that have moved more than 2″ are harder and more costly to correct.
Sunken Slab Repair:
Lift and Level Without Full Replacement
A sinking concrete floor in a Minnesota home, garage, cabin, or lake property doesn’t always mean a full tear-out. DBS Repair uses two minimally invasive methods to lift, stabilize, and level settled slabs. Repairing concrete costs much less than the cost to replace concrete.

PolyLevel® Foam Injection
