Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A deck in Brule, WI was in need of some added support aside from the original wood posts that went with it, and DBS was able to send out a crew to install helical piers across the structure. These piers are comprised of galvanized steel capable of supporting heavy structures such as home decks, and they work to stabilize them from settling into the ground further. The results of the pier project can be viewed in this gallery.

These homeowners from Brule, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked foundation walls. The lower level of their home was partially underground with the top third above the ground. 

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Nathan recommended installing GeoLock™ earth anchors to permanently stabilize the failing walls. The GeoLock™ support system works by connecting two plates together using galvanized steel rods and plates. One plate is installed outside the home in stable soil and the other is placed on the wall inside the home. Over time these connected plates are tightened to correct bowing walls. 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

The former support for this home was shifting and was no longer providing the support that was needed for this section of the home. Using our helical piers we were ablet to drill down deep into the earth to provide the home with a solid base to stand on. Using this system provides permanent support that will not weaken due to frost issues and shifting ground.

A homeowner in Minong, WI reached out to DBS regarding the concrete slab of their garage. That slab was beginning to settle, which can cause further structural damage. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that the slab would have a set of piers installed to stabilize the structure and prevent further settling, as shown in the picture. These piers are capable of stabilizing very heavy loads, which make them ideal for structural support.

Cabin owners in Lake Nebagamon, WI had considerable sinking on one end of the home. This caused settling in the foundation, creating cracks in the basement floor and allowing water to reach the home. Worried about the issue getting worse, they reached out to DBS for a permanent solution. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo is an expert foundation repair. After visiting the home and providing a free, no-obligation estimate for the work done, Henrik determined that the home needed assistance from our structural, waterproofing, and concrete repair teams. 

Our Basement Repair Foreman Zach Royer and his production crew removed concrete on the interior of the home in order to install 4 push piers. From there, they performed a lift procedure. These galvanized steel piers were hydraulically driven into the ground to weight-bearing soils. The weight of the home was then transferred to the competent soil. One that was completed, our concrete repair team took over to lift and level the area where the poured slad has sunken. 

The cabin owners were happy with the work done and can now depend on a safe and comfortable home for years to come.
