These homeowners from Bovey, Minnesota reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked and bowing foundation walls. Luckily wall damage was present and foundation settlement was not. The wall failure indicated that increasing soil pressure over time was damaging the structural integrity of this home. 

DBS Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home and walls Henrik recommended installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams. These steel I-beams come from Supportworks® and offer an immediate wall stabilization solution. Over time, PowerBrace™ wall support beams are tightened in an attempt to bring bowing walls back to level. This progress is benchmarked during annual maintenance appointments through our DBS Customer Care Club. PowerBrace™ wall support beams are installed with a 75-year fully-transferable and nationally-backed warranty! 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew. This Bovey, MN home is not healthy, safe, and comfortable. 

When a homeowner in Pequot Lakes, MN, reached out to DBS, they were facing ongoing issues with their crawl space, which had resisted previous fixes. Their goal was a stable foundation that could support a functional year-round space.

Our team recommended installing SmartJack® support systems to correct and stabilize the uneven crawl space. After a thorough inspection, our System Design Specialist provided a tailored plan, and the homeowners were eager for a solution.

We began by preparing the work area for the SmartJack® installation. These high-strength steel supports effectively addressed the foundation's unevenness. 

The transformation was remarkable. By installing the SmartJack® system, we restored the foundation's integrity, allowing the crawl space to be safely used year-round. The homeowners were thrilled, finally able to relax knowing their crawl space was secure and their home was resilient.

This project in Pequot Lakes exemplifies our commitment at DBS to ensure stability and safety for every foundation we serve, delivering lasting relief and confidence for our customers.
