Photo Album: SmartJack® Stabilizes Boat House in Cook, MN
These cabin owners reached out to DBS when their boathouse began to sink into their lake!
Design Specialist, Royce Bunn went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. GeoLock® Anchors were installed on the retaining wall by the lake to stabilize the yard area. Our SmartJack® System was used to permanently stabilize and lift the foundation of the boathouse. This system works by driving piers deep into the earth until bedrock is hit, which offers permanent stabilization for this structure.
Foreman, Kevin Steffey, and his production crew installed the support systems and these homeowners can now enjoy their boathouse for years to come without fear of it sinking or becoming unstable!
