Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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! 

This Duluth, MN customer called DBS wanting an estimate on stabilizing their foundation walls. Our specialist, Royce Bunn, visited this home and was able to provide a quailty solution to permanently stabilize the basement foundation walls. The use of our PowerBrace system would ensure these foundation walls would straighten over time.

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing structural issues with their crawl space. Failing crawl space support can eventually lead to sagging floors in the main area of a home, and cause bigger problems over time. In need of a solution to this, the owner reached out to DBS. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the crawl space would need to have several SmartJack® units installed within the crawl space to provide that added support. The SmartJack® is an ideal product for crawl space stabilization as it can support loads of over 60,000 lbs. The results turned out great, and the homeowner can now be more comfortable with a reinforced crawl space area. 

Owners of this 1920's Duluth, MN home reached out to DBS for information on waterproofing their leaky basement. After moving into this home about 10 years ago, they noticed issues with moisture and leaking right away. They also noticed some uneveness in the home's floor, and sticking windows.

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen provided a free, no-obligation estimate for waterproofing and foundation support. Our foreman and production team installed a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System in the basement. From there, our crew installed the 4 PowerBrace™ beams to stop the walls from further movement and 6 SmartJack® support beams to lift the sagging structure. 

These homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a safe and dry basement to enjoy!

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help repairing their basement. When DBS arrived the home was leaky with cracked and bowing foundation walls. 

DBS Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Henrik recommended a complete waterproofing system and a stabilization system. Waterproofing the home required installing a WaterGuard® subfloor drainage system, CleanSpace® waterproofing vapor barrier, and a TripleSafe™ sump pump. This interior waterproofing system will keep the basement dry for good! Stabilization was achieved by installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams. PowerBrace™ support beams are installed with a 75-year nationally-backed fully-transferable warranty.
