Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Longtime owners of this family cabin in Sandstone, WI were concerned over noticeable sinking and settling. Sagging support beams were causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. 

DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the crawl space. It was determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling.

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew installed 24 feet of supplemental support beam, as well as 4 Smart Jack® support beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. 

After the support work, our crawl space encapsulation crew also installed a vapor barrier to protect the cabin's infrastructure from water and rot damage in the future.

This family can now rest easy knowing their favorite retreat is protected for years to come.

A homeowner in Hayward, WI wanted to replace the flooring on their main level. When preparing for the work, they noticed significant sloping in certain areas of the floor. They decided to contact DBS for a free, no-obligation foundation repair estimate in order to correct the problem before investing in new flooring. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and inspected the crawl space to find the root of the issue. The dirt crawl space was unsealed and the main supports we sinking. In order to provide a permanent solution for this homeowner, Rich recommended supplemental support along running along the entire length of the home. 

DBS Foreman Taylor and his crew performed the crawl space repair work. They installed 175 feet of horizontal steel support beams parallel to the dirt crawl space. Our team then installed a total of 35 SmartJack® telescoping vertical beams beneath the new support beam and beneath the home's existing supports. The SmartJack® beams are anchored to the ceiling joists and supplemental support beams and held in place by steel footings. 

This home is now restored to a level position and is ready for home improvement projects in the future.

This family home in Saint Paul, MN was built in the 1920s. It had some major issues in the crawl space that the homeowner wanted to address before matters worsened. After meeting us at a home show in Woodbury, MN, they decided to move forward with DBS completing the crawl space repair work. 

DBS Production Manager Jason Brummer was the Design Specialist for this project. Because the home was showing issues with its cement and stone foundation, as well as the sinking of the floors of the main level, Jason came up with a custom plan including two different foundation repair products. 

First, to combat the sinking floors, Jason recommended our SmartJack® system. Equipped with a nationally-backed transferable warranty, this system is meant to permanently stabilize crawl space floors using supplemental steel beams and vertical telescoping SmartJack® beams. Foreman Zach Jorenby and his crew installed the SmartJack® system.

To combat the movement of the foundation walls, Nick Burley and his crew installed a GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System. This foundation repair product anchors the foundation wall to earth plates in the stable soil around the home's exterior. Connected by long steel rods, this system pulls the vertical foundation walls towards the exterior of the home, back to a level position. 

A homeowner in Duluth contacted DBS looking for a solution to the sinking floor on the main level of their home. They were had added some telescoping support beams in the basement to stabilize the floors, but they had not permanently remedied the uneven and bouncy floors in the main level. 

DBS Design Specialist Natha Schroeder visited the home and provided a thorough inspection and free estimate for structural work. He designed a plan that would add a section of supplemental beam to the basement. This beam would be held up by vertical SmartJack® supports.

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his basement repair crew completed this basement support project. They installed a SmartJack® System consisting of 5 vertical beams. These vertical supports attach to the ceiling joists and concrete floor via steel brackets. 

After our team completed a lift procedure in the basement, the main level of the home was permanently stabilized and protected against further movement. 

This Minneapolis, MN home was built in the 1970s. Last year, the homeowner noticed the sunroom was sloping and in need of some structural help. The owners decided to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate for our foundation repair service. 

A DBS Design Specialist in Foundation Repair visited the home for a thorough inspection. After measuring movement in the home and crawl space, a plan to stabilize the sinking sunroom floors was created.

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and his crew began the stabilization by installing 24 feet of supplemental beam to offer more horizontal support for the space. Beneath it, they installed 4 SmartJacks and completed a lift procedure to transfer the weight of the home to stable soil.
