Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Orr, MN reached out to DBS for help with their sinking crawl space foundation.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik recommended our PowerBrace® and SmartJack® Systems. 

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 2 PowerBrace® i-beams along one of the walls in the crawl space and also installed SmartJack® supports underneath the main steel beam, ensuring stabilization of the flooring above and walls.

Now that the foundation has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

In Orr, MN, we tackled a shifting deck that was both an eyesore and a safety concern for a homeowner's rental property. The before photo depicts the problem: a deck compromised by unstable foundations, posing risks and diminishing property value. Our solution, showcased in the after photo, involved installing Helical Piers— a proven sturdy support system. This repair not only restored the deck's visual appeal and safety but also represents our commitment to delivering lasting solutions and remarkable customer experiences.

This home in Bigfork, Minnesota was experiencing foundation problems. One side of the home had shifted and settled causing the home to be unsteady. Wanting the problem fixed, he called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate. System Design Specialist Royce Bunn made a trip out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection of the home, Royce explained that the best possible solution would be to install helical piers to lift the foundation back to its original position. This would stabilize the home and and leave the homeowner without worry. After a signed proposal, a date was set to have Foreman Kevin Steffey complete the installation. Once the product was professionally installed, the owner now had a stabilized home that he did not have to worry about.

These homeowners in Bigfork, MN wanted to find a solution to help their sagging floors. Foundation settlement had caused the floors of the home to sag and bounce.

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the owners with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, our SmartJack® Support System was recommended and a quote was provided.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from Co-Foreman Rowan Wentworth. Together, the team installed these jack systems in order to evenly distribute the weight of the structure. These jacks can then be adjusted to raise the floors to minimize sagging and bouncing.
