CRAWL SPACE FOUNDATION REPAIR IN RICHFIELD, MN
Recently, we had the pleasure of restoring peace of mind to homeowners in Richfield, MN, who faced a quite concerning scenario with their home’s foundation.

Recently, we had the pleasure of restoring peace of mind to homeowners in Richfield, MN, who faced a quite concerning scenario with their home’s foundation. They noticed the floors above their crawlspace were lacking support and, as autumn’s chill approached, a discernible cold draft made one room particularly uncomfortable. It was clear this wasn’t just a minor issue—it affected their home’s safety and comfort. After reaching out to our Appointment Center, we promptly scheduled a home inspection. Our Design Specialist dove into the heart of the issue, providing a comprehensive examination of the crawlspace. Identifying the root cause as inadequate foundation support, we knew exactly how to tackle it—introducing the homeowners to the SmartJack™ system. SmartJacks™ are ideal for this kind of problem. Not your average support system, these piers are designed to effectively support the foundation above. This innovative solution promised not only to address the immediate support issue but also to contribute towards a warmer, more insulated floor above the crawlspace. Our skilled installation team worked diligently, ensuring the process was seamless and non-intrusive. The transformation was noteworthy; after installing the SmartJack™ system, the difference in stability and warmth in the space above the crawlspace was immediately evident. The once cold and unstable room had now become a cozy, secure space the homeowners could enjoy without worry.

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
