DBS Before & After Photos

This Hayward, WI cabin owners was in need of a permanent solution for their cabin foundation. As seen in the before photo, the foundation was cracking and shifting, in threat of collapsing in certain areas. 

After hearing about us from their neighbor, they called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate with our Design Specialist Rich Johnsen. He diagnosed the foundation issues beneath the cabin and designed a custom solution for the homeowners using two different wal support systems.

Foreman Nick Burley and his crew installed 4 GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses the heavy-duty anchors in and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. The team also installed a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System. This is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightened over time, in order to restore the walls to their original position. The PowerBrace™ beams are zinc-plated and backed with a 75-year warranty against movement.

The customer was happy with the work done and now had a permanent solution they can count on for years to come.

This customer reached out to DBS after noticing their home was relatively cold, especially with the floors. The customer's expectations included achieving better insulation and having a more energy-efficient home. Once our Design Specialist was able to get out to the property, they recommended a plan that involved removing the current fiberglass and applying our Dr. Energy® spray foam to the rim joist to help keep the floor permanently insulated. Once our crew was able to get out to the property and install the spray foam, the customer was happy with the quick fix and solution.
