Home Near Foundation Failure Repaired with DBS Wall Support Systems

This Duluth, MN home was built in 1967. Over the last few years, the owners noticed issues with soil around their home sinking, which inevitably lead to cracks and pressure on the foundation. In need of a permanent solution, the homeowners turned to DBS to save the structural integrity of the entire home.

After meeting us at the Duluth Boat and Travel Show, they called DBS and scheduled a free, no-obligation estimate with our Design Specialist James Miller. He diagnosed the foundation issues, and created a plan for the home's repair using a combination of 2 types of wall support systems. 

Foreman Nick Burley and his crew first affixed 6 CarbonArmor® Wall Defense Straps to the Wall. This Wall Reinforcing System is made with materials 10-times stronger than steel, and prevents further wall movement.

Nick and his crew also installed 6 PowerBraces™ Wall Support Beams to the failing foundation wall in order to prevent further movement. These steel beams can been tightened over time to restore the wall to its original position.

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