Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this cabin and his family hand-built the cabin in the 80s all with wood from the property. Decades later, the foundation was no longer stable. Wanting to keep the cabin in his family, he reached out to DBS to permanently stabilize his family's cabin.

Design Specialist, Jake Gilmer, visited the cabin and provided the owners with a free, no-obligation estimate. James recommended the installation of helical piers along the cabin's foundation and beams installed underneath the cabin to permanently lift and stabilize the cabin.

DBS Foreman, Trevor Ingle, and his Co-Foreman, Gavin Denzler, then installed the helical piers around the cabin to lift and stabilize the cabin. These helical are driven into the ground using hydraulic pressure. Once the pier reaches solid, stable bedrock, the pressure pushes against the ground and causes the piers to stabilize the structure. 

The cabin owner can now have a piece of mind knowing his cabin is permanently stabilized.

Homeowners of this Hibbing, MN residence noticed problems with their floors sagging. Their kitchen was bowing downwards in the center, and the owners intended on remodeling sometime in the near future. Knowing they needed to address the issue first, they contacted DBS.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After completing a thorough inspection, he advised the owners of the root of the issue, sinking and settling support columns in their crawlspace. He advised the owners of a solution that would help level their sinking floors, installing DBS's SmartJack® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with a crew and together they installed 9 SmartJack® supports to replace the old sinking wooden supports. This would help to raise the sagging floors and could even completely level the flooring.

The homeowners of this property can relax comfortably knowing that their floors are properly supported by the SmartJack® System installed in the crawlspace. They also have peace of mind knowing they can finally go about remodeling their kitchen without worry.

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.
