Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home in Saint Paul, MN needed to address the foundational support issues before it could be sold. The homeowner wanted an effective, efficient, and reliable solution for the new homeowners; therefore, they reached out to DBS for help. 

A DBS Design Specialist assisted the owner by conducting a free, no-obligation estimate. Afterward, they provided a quote for our PowerBrace® stabilization system.

A Foreman from DBS led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, they installed multiple steel i-beams that will secure the foundation wall. These beams are secured to the ceiling and floor joists using metal brackets. Over time, the beams can be adjusted in order to restore the wall back to its original position. 

This homeowner can now sell their home knowing it is safe and secure for the new homeowners.

These new homeowners in Maplewood, MN wanted to address their home's instability issues. The home needed extra support, so the owners trusted DBS to help.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for the home. After a careful inspection, it was decided that helical piers would be the best option.

A DBS Design Specialist led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used hydraulic pressure to drive the pier into the ground until it reached stable soil. The pressure then pushes against this stable soil and lifts the structure to provide the needed support.

These homeowners can now relax knowing their new home is safe and stable. 

This homeowner contacted DBS after having piers installed earlier this year, expressing concern about further outward bowing of the wall. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, they recommended placing 5 GeoLocks® in the ground outside of the sinking wall to help stabilize the wall by providing GeoLocks® are specifically designed ground stabilization systems engineered to enhance the stability of structures, particularly in areas prone to soil movement or subsidence. By strategically placing five GeoLocks® around the sinking wall perimeter, the structural integrity can be significantly improved. These GeoLocks® act as anchors, penetrating deep into the ground to create a secure foundation, effectively counteracting any potential forces that may cause the wall to shift or sink further.
