Owners of this 1950's home in Canyon, MN had issues with water seeping through foundation cracks in the basement. As evidenced in the before photo, this basement has sustained water damage from prolonged water exposure. Tired of cleaning up their flooded basement after heavy rains, they contacted DBS for a permanent solution.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair and waterproofing system. DBS Foreman Joe Harris and crew installed our WaterGuard® System along the perimeter of the basement, that will direct all moisture to a new SingleSafe™ Sump Pump. The crew also installed CleanSpace® vapor barrier on the walls that were extra prone to water leakage. 

To correct the structural issues, the team installed 4 PowerBrace™ beams to correct the bowing foundation walls, as well as 8 SmartJack® beams to support the sinking basement supports. 

This home is now protected against further structural movement and water issues.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, he recommended they have one of our crews install our PowerBrace® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 4 PowerBrace® i-beams in the crawlspace to provide proper support to the crawl space walls. Each i-beam has a bracket at the top that can be tightened over time in an attempt to straighten the wall back to its original position. The system is backed with a 75-year warranty against the movement, ensuring that the owner can have peace of mind.

Now that the wall has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax without worry.
