This home in Rice Lake, WI had bowing foundational walls due to soil expansion. The owner wanted to address this problem with a professional solution, so they trusted DBS to help.
Design Specialist Nicholas Corbin assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, Nicholas recommended our GeoLock™ Wall Anchoring System.
Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from Co-Foreman Rowan Wentworth. Earth anchors are installed outside of the home, below the ground, and the steel plates are installed inside the home on the bowing wall. These systems are connected using a steel rod which stops any further movement and can also be adjusted in order to restore the wall back to its original position.
This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is safe and secure.
These residents of Mellen, WI reached out to DBS for some help with their 1970's home. The foundation walls were cracking and bowing leading to moisture issues in the basement.
DBS Sales Manager visited the home, assessed the problem, and created a solution for the unwanted water and failing walls. To permanently stabilize the walls, our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was installed along the perimeter of the basement, using steel I-beams. The DBS foreman and crew successfully installed the products.
The homeowners now enjoy a safe, permanently stable, and dry basement!
The owner of the cabin was looking to sell the cabin to his friend. As part of the agreement, he needed to get the foundation wall secured.
