CASE STUDY
FOUNDATION WALL REPAIR IN NEW AUBURN, WI
A homeowner in New Auburn, WI, noticed their foundation walls were visibly tilting and shifting. We installed our heavy-duty PowerBrace™ system to permanently stabilize the structure, halt further movement, and restore their peace of mind.
In the before photo from New Auburn, WI, the homeowner’s foundation walls were visibly tilting, a serious issue that posed a direct threat to the stability of the home. The slanting walls indicated that the foundation was settling and shifting, creating a safety concern and causing the homeowner considerable stress. As the problem worsened, it became clear that immediate action was necessary to prevent further damage.
To address this, our expert team installed the PowerBrace™ system, a reliable solution specifically designed to support and stabilize tilting foundation walls. The system uses adjustable steel braces that are installed along the walls, offering a durable support structure. Over time, these braces can gradually straighten the walls, restoring the foundation’s integrity and preventing further movement or damage.
In the after photo, the transformation is clear. The tilting walls are now supported and stabilized, and the foundation is secure once again. The homeowner can now enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their home is protected from further foundation issues.
This project demonstrates how our team uses trusted products like PowerBrace™ to provide lasting solutions for foundation problems. We don’t just offer a temporary fix; we ensure long-term stability, giving homeowners the reassurance they need about the safety of their most valuable asset.


Stop the Damage, for Good.

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.

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.

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.
