This homeowner reached out to DBS after raising concerns about the stability of their walls. They were worried about the structure of their home and wanted to ensure peace of mind and prevent the walls from caving in and causing further damage to the house.
In addressing the issue our Design Specialist, Jake Gilmer, recommended our EverBrace™ System for foundation stability along the basement wall. Additionally, he explored the option of removing parts of the wood skirting to facilitate the placement of the braces. Once our Foreman, Nathan Simonson, and his crew were able to get to the property, they successfully installed the EverBrace™ system on two walls in the crawlspace. The homeowner was satisfied with the results and felt more secure with their home!
This basement in Saint Paul, MN was experiencing stage 1-2 wall failure. A small bow had begun in the wall, but since the owner acted quickly and contacted DBS, they prevented any further severe damage.
Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a careful inspection, Rich provided a quote for our CarbonArmor® Wall Defense Straps.
A DBS Foreman led the installation of the project with help from a team. Together, the team applied these strong straps to the bowing wall. These straps are made out of woven material that is ten times stronger than steel. The straps hold the wall in place and prevent any further inward movement and bowing.
This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is stable and secure.
