Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Hibbing, MN reached out to DBS after a potential home sale was jeopardized by a concerning wall issue. The previous buyer backed out due to the problem, and the homeowners were determined to address it promptly to avoid any hindrance in the future. The homeowner wanted a permanent fix to ensure the structural integrity of the wall.

Upon inspection of the property, our Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, devised a plan to address the wall issue effectively. The chosen solution involved cutting sections of the wall to install PowerBraces™, specifically in the finished room where the problem was most prominent.

The DBS crew then proceeded with the installation, strategically placing five PowerBraces™, with two in the finished wall room, ensuring a robust and long-lasting solution.

The collaborative effort between the homeowner and our team resulted in a successful project. The homeowners were pleased with the outcome, confident that the wall issue was permanently addressed, and expressed satisfaction that the resolution met their expectations.

This homeowner in Buhl, MN wanted to do some home renovations in order to increase the price of their home. They needed assistance with waterproofing the basement, so they trusted DBS for a professional, permanent solution. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough and careful inspection, Henrik provided a quote and suggested the installation of our WaterGuard® French drain system. This drain system collects water from the floor joists and walls in order to stop the intrusion before it reaches the inside of your home. 

Foreman Dustin Behning led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team installed the drain lines underneath the floor along the perimeter of the basement. These drain leads to a sump pump that expels the water outside of the home and far enough away that it will not be able to reenter the home. 

This homeowner can now relax knowing DBS Solutions are working hard in their home.
