Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

In Silver Bay, MN, a homeowner faced a damp basement, unstable walls, and uneven concrete, which complicated their plans to sell the home in the future. After assessing the situation, we recommended a comprehensive solution to address all their concerns.

Our expert team installed the WaterGuard® system for waterproofing, CleanSpace® wall system to create an effective moisture barrier, and the SingleSafe™ Sump Pump to properly manage water. Additionally, we installed PowerBrace™ to stabilize the foundation and straighten the walls, ensuring long-term support.

The transformation was remarkable. The once damp, unstable basement was now dry, stabilized, and level, creating a solid foundation for a worry-free future. With these tailored solutions, we not only resolved the immediate issues but also provided the homeowner with peace of mind, knowing their home is now secure and protected. This project reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional service and durable home solutions.

The owner of this home in Esko, MN noticed that the support beams on the front porch of their home were sinking into the ground. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist recommended our helical pier system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed a helical pier underneath the deck to provide permanent stabilization to the structure.

These homeowners in Esko, MN were planning on selling their homes. However, first, they needed to address the instability issues the home was facing. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a careful inspection, a quote was provided for our SmartJack® Support System.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from a partner. Together, the duo installed multiple jack systems to evenly distribute the weight of the structure. After the jacks are installed completely and are stable, they can be adjusted in order to raise the floor above back to its original position.

These homeowners can now move forward with the sale of their homes. 

This homeowner in Esko, MN reached out to DBS for help with wall stabilization. The block foundation in the basement was experiencing horizontal and stair-step cracks, causing instability to the structure. The homeowner wanted to reinforce the stability and straighten the wall. 

Design Specialist Jacob Nustad assisted this homeowner with a free no-obligation estimate to help find the best solution for the home. After careful inspection, Jacob recommended the homeowner install a GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System, as well as, a PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project, along with a team. The team worked together to install 5 GeoLock™ Wall Anchors and 2 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The GeoLock™ systems connect steel plates inside the home to earth anchors outside of the home. By adjusting the connection, the wall can be moved and repositioned back into place. The PowerBrace™ beams are connected to the rim joists and also allow for stabilization. These beams are adjusted overtime to keep the wall from settling any further and to move the walls back to their original positions. 

Having both of these systems supporting the home, this homeowner will have nothing to worry about when it comes to stabilization.
