Cabin in Alborn, MN with Sinking Crawl Space Foundation Stabilized with DBS SmartJack® System

The owners of this cabin in Alborn, MN had just replaced all of their doors and windows and wanted to find a solution to the sinking floors above their crawl space. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the cabin to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owners. After a thorough inspection, he generated a quote for our SmartJack® System to properly stabilize the flooring above the crawl space.

Foreman Tyler Nacey led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed 5 SmartJack® supports underneath the cabin with concrete footings to ensure that the cabin would be free of additional settling.

Now that the cabin has been permanently stabilized, the owners can enjoy their time away without worrying about the cabin sinking further into the soil.

Bowing and Leaning Basement Foundation Walls Stabilized with DBS PowerBrace® System in Alborn, MN

The owner of this home in Alborn, MN reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution to their failing basement foundation walls.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Rich generated a quote for our PowerBrace® Wall Reinforcing System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 10 PowerBrace® i-beams along the basement walls in order to correct bowing that had happened over the years. Over time the brackets at the top of each i-beam can be tightened in an attempt to straighten the wall back to its original position.

Now that the basement has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind and not need to worry about the structural integrity of their home.

Foundation Supported in St. Cloud Minnesota

Part of this St. Cloud Minnesota home was being held by supports that were shifting and weakening over time. To provide a permanent solution to this issue we used helical piers to create a solid foundation support for the building. This section of the building was small enough to use one helical pier on each side of the building. These piers now support a large wooden beam that will support the house evenly and protect it from the effects of shifting soil due to freezing ground in St. Cloud.
