The owner of this home in Virginia, MN was becoming frustrated with their basement foundation as they noticed cracking and leaking only became worse as time went on. Looking for a permanent solution, the owner reached out to DBS.
Design Specialist James Miller drove out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issues. After a thorough inspection, James advised the owner that DBS had solutions for both leaking and foundational issues in the basement. The owner was only interested in installing the foundational solution at the time but plans on consulting DBS for waterproofing in the future. A DBS solution called PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System permanently stabilizes foundation walls, and this solution is what James recommended to the owner.
