Homeowners in South Range, WI were having foundation issues leading to excess moisture entering the home. Living in the home for about 15 years, they noticed the issues worsening over time, contributing to significant leaking during springtime thaws and heavy rains. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for foundation repair as well as a waterproofing system. DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the leading foreman on the job for both jobs. He and his production team installed our waterproofing system, and then turn focus to the foundation job. 

First, they excavated soil around the home's foundation and then installed 9 Push Piers, driving them down into the load-bearing strata. These hydraulically driven piers assist in returning the home to its original position. A GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System was also installed connecting anchors on the inside of the home and exterior soil with a long steel rod that will be tightened over time, returning the walls to their original position.
