Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Knife River, MN reached out to us looking for help with their sinking crawl space foundation.

One of our Design Specialists came to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our SmartJack® System.

One of our crews came out to install the system. Together they installed crawl space support pillars underneath the beams to permanently stabilize the foundation. They also installed CleanSpace® water vapor barrier and sprayed polyurethane foam in the crawl space to waterproof the area.

Now that the crawl space has been repaired, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

When this customer first experienced foundation problems they had a home-made solution that had not helped to permanently stabilize or straighten the wall. We used Geo-Lock anchors to stabilize the wall and straighten it over time. The first photo is mid-way through the project. After another anchor was added and both were tightened, the large crack in the wall closed up. 

This is a great example of how the use of PowerBraces™ can help straighten and strengthen a wall over time. System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn visited this home and proposed the use of six PowerBraces™ to fix the bowing wall. The homeowner had tried various other solutions over the years to fix the bowing wall, but nothing had helped. They even had another foundation wall installed to help fix the bowing exterior wall. The homeowner now rests easy as the experts at DBS have found a permanent solution to fix this problem. 

In Two Harbors, MN, a homeowner reached out to DBS regarding their failing foundation wall. When old block walls start to wear down, they cancrack and bow, which may be damaging to the overall structure of the home. Luckily, a crew was able to go to the residence and install the CarbonArmor® Wall Reinforcing System for foundation support. This before and after set displays on of the block walls in need of stabilization, and the CarbonArmor® strips are optimal in doing so. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable environment. 

A homeowner in Two Harbors, MN contacted DBS in hopes of a permanent solution for their sinking and settling garage building. The garage foundation had been shifting over the span of many years but the homeowner noticed a significant change recently.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Basement Repair Production Manager Kevin Steffey and his crew installed over 100 feet of supplemental support beams to restore the garage foundation. From there, they drove 11 Helicast™ Helical Piers into the ground to support and restore the garage's original position.

The customer was happy with the work done and has a supported garage they can depend on and enjoy for many years to come.
