Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Garrison, MN was unhappy with the bowing and instability of their basement foundational walls. External soil pressure had caused the walls to bow inwards, causing instability.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, our PowerBrace® System was recommended and a quote was provided.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from Rowan Wentworth. These steel i-beam braces are able to stabilize the wall and prevent any further movement. They can also be adjusted in order to straighten the wall back into its original position.

This owner can now relax with piece of mind that their home is safe and stable.

A hotel in Aitkin, MN was experiencing stability issues with its block foundation walls, and DBS went out to provide some support. Our foreman and his crew were able to install a considerable amount of PowerBrace™ units around the area of the wall to maximize the strength of the foundation. These braces can also help to straighten out bowing walls over time, should they need it.

Foreman Osia Williams led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team installed these jack systems to evenly distribute the weight of the structure. Once the structure is stabilized, the jacks are lifted in order to raise the cabin and create a level floor once again. This minimizes sagging and will be the last solution for this owner. 

With this new solution, this homeowner can continue with other renovations and create the perfect cabin for their family.
