Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Duluth, MN, a homeowner sought peace of mind amidst personal loss and was worried about their faltering foundation. Our team was committed to providing stability and comfort for the homeowner. When the crew went out to the property, they installed PowerBrace and EverBrace systems, visibly transforming despair into relief. We not only restored a foundation but also a sense of serenity in a home where it was most needed.

Just moved into your dream home in Duluth, MN and noticed uneven floors? The before photo shows how unsettling that can be. One homeowner faced this exact issue and wanted a perfect solution without constantly shimming furniture. Enter our fix: the SmartJack® XT system. As seen in the after photo, we reinforced the basement with foundation support, creating a solid base that made the home level. Now, the floors are stable, and furniture sits just as it should—perfectly.

This transformation shows how the wall in the home was settling due to the ground below the house sinking. The ground was shifting, and so was the home that it was on. To fix this issue, our team installed SmartJacks XT and a supplemental beam to address foundation issues for a homeowner who wanted to ensure their home’s structural integrity before refinishing the floors upstairs. 

The owner of this home in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS through our website to have the basement walls evaluated. There was some cracking and there was concern about the integrity of their home. 

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, examined the walls in question and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After the inspection was complete, Rich recommended our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to address the basement wall issues in this home. 

A DBS Foreman led the installation with the help of a production crew, and they installed 18 PowerBrace™ braces to the basement walls. 

With the basement walls permanently stabilized, DBS was able to restore peace of mind for the homeowners.

Before the transformation, the homeowner faced a common yet challenging issue in their Duluth, MN, property— a significantly uneven crawl space, as evident from the photo. The culprit? Weakening supports unable to bear the home's weight. Our ceiling crew swung into action, deploying SmartJack™ supports. These steel support systems are designed for stability and long-term peace of mind. Notice how the after photo showcases a dramatically leveled crawl space floor, restoring confidence and safety to our homeowner's foundation. Through this, we reinforced our commitment to providing not just solutions but a significant improvement to the quality of living spaces.
