Basement Finishing in Motley, MN

A homeowner reached out to DBS with concerns about their basement foundation walls. One of our Design Specialists gave the homeowner a free no-obligation estimate for our wall repair service after a thorough inspection. Our crew was able to permanently stabilize the foundation walls to provide the homeowner with peace of mind.

In Motley, MN, a homeowner was experiencing issues with a few different parts of their home. First, Their unfinished basement was comprised of concrete block walls, and the structure of the walls was beginning to fail. This is a commonly seen issue with unfinished basements containing block walls. Aside from that issue, a separate area of the home had a heated concrete slab that was starting to sink below the original positioning. The homeowner was worried that this would also lead to further structural issues with the home. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the failing concrete wall would need to have CarbonArmor® installed, and the heated concrete slab would need PolyLevel® injections to help raise it. CarbonArmor® is comprised of carbon fiber polymer strips that stretch vertically along a foundation wall, and provide full stabilzation for the failing structure. PolyLevel® is a foam that is injected below the surface of a sinking concrete slab, and in a short period of time, the foam begins to expand and helps lift the concrete back to its original positioning. Both of these products are ideal for the type of service needed. The overall results of this project turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable home environment.
