A homeowner from Champlin, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their cracked basement walls. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. One of our crews installed our Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System along the walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind!
The owner of this home in Champlin, MN noticed that the wall in their basement bedroom was cracked near the ceiling above the egress window. They were worried about the structural integrity of the wall, so they decided to reach out to DBS.
A DBS Design Specialist was sent out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist educated the homeowners on what the root of the issue was, soil. The soil around the home is loosely packed, allowing it to shift and settle over time. This applies unwanted force inwards onto the basement walls and over time, they crack.
A DBS Foreman led the installation on this project with help from a crew. Together they installed our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the walls. The GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System works by excavating a hole on the exterior of the home into the soil. Then a pole is drilled from the inside of the basement out to the excavation site and a steel plate is attached to either end. The bolt-on the interior plate is tightened until the wall pushes against the interior plate, and the soil pushes against the exterior plate.
Now that the basement walls have been stabilized, the homeowner can relax peacefully knowing their basement bedroom is structurally sound.
This concrete patio has slabs that had sunken which was resulting in uneven areas and tripping hazards across the entire patio. With our PolyLevel concrete lifting and leveling system we were able to bring the crooked slabs back to a level state and flush with the surrounding concrete. This family can now allow their children to play on the patio without worrying about trips and falls.
