Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

Faced with a growing concern in Two Harbors, MN, a homeowner noticed the cracks in their foundation wall widening. As seen in the 'before' photo, the problem was not only unsettling but threatened the structural integrity of their home.

By installing PowerBrace™ , we not only halted further damage but also restored peace of mind, providing a dependable fix for their foundation woes.

In Duluth, MN, a homeowner in the Park Point area was looking to upgrade their basement by adding support for their sagging floor, as well as making an improvement to their waterproofing system. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the SmartJack® XL system would have to be installed for structural support, and our specially designed waterproofing plan would be put in place for this basement. In Park Point homes, our crews carefully place dimple drainage matting along the exisitng concrete floor, and then pour a new layer of concrete on top of that to elevate the flooring. While other waterproofing products are installed as well, this is a crucial step to ensuring that no further water issues take place within the basement. The results of the project can be seen here!

This home just outside the city of Gilbert had gone without care for some time and the current owner now wishes to restore it to its original glory of when it was their family home. Among the first steps in this process was to re-stabilize the foundation. After years of temporary fixes on the foundation, it was time to install a permanent solution that supported the whole home without need for wood shims, additional bottle jacks, or a newly constructed foundation. By using a combination of helical piers and steel beams we created a solution custom fit to the home that provides even support across the whole home.

This Duluth, MN homeowner was in the process of selling his home. The inspection found that one of the home's foundation walls had become unstable. The homeowner called the experts at DBS to come out and assess the foundation problems the inspector had found. System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn, made the visit to this customer's home and was able to find a quality solution. Shortly after, Foreman, Casey Healey, and his crew began work on installing Powerbraces to help stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. This homeowner was so relieved to have the wall stabilized and have the sale of his home go through. 

A homeowner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS in regards to our foundation wall support service. Their basement block wall was in dire need for some extra stabilization, and the homeowner had a Design Specialist come and take a look at it. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the wall would have the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System installed for added support. These anchors are an optimal product for basement wall stabilization, and can even work to pull back bowing walls to their original straightened position.
