These Duluth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS when their basement walls began to crack and bow.
DBS Design Specialist Royce Bunn went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work.
Foreman Casey Healey and his production crew installed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to immediately stabilize the bowing walls. Over time the PowerBrace® System is tightened by our service team to restore the wall to level.
This basement is now permanently stabilized and safe for the family to enjoy.
Homeowners in Duluth, MN had consistent flooding in their basement. As seen in the before photo, sediment was being carried in by the water, leaving a dirty mess in the basement. They knew it was most likely due to cracking in their foundation. In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS.
Sale Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project and visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support and the waterproofing system.
To permanently stabilize the basement walls, the production crew installed 13 PowerBrace™ steel I-beams. This PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightened over time, in order to restore the wall to its original position. A SuperSump® Premier Pump System was installed and will work hard to keep water up and out of the basement.
The egress window was also replaced and surrounded by a SentrySeal® rubber membrane to protect the egress area from water.
This basement was leaking and had cracks. They put up poly for when water leaks in, it goes into the drain tile and into the sump pump instead of the basement. The PowerBraces are there to support the foundation. What a difference!
This homeowner had a list of items that DBS was helping fix. One of the main items was to replace an old, rotting support beam and replace it with our patented SmartJack XL. Our installation crew headed by Forman, Kevin Steffy, were able to secure the weight of the house using a new and improved support called our SmartJack XL. The customer was pleased to know that his home was safe and secure after the install!
