Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

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. 

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. 

This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his production crew.

This home has been made healthy, safe, and comfortable with DBS! 

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 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 in Duluth, MN needed to address their cracked foundation walls. Wanting peace of mind that the walls would not cave in, they reached out to DBS for help. 

Design Specialist Jake Gilmer assisted this homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, Jake recommended our CarbonArmor® Wall Defense Straps. 

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team applied these strong, woven-material straps to the wall. These straps will hold the wall in place and prevent any further inward movement.

With their new DBS solution, this homeowner can now relax knowing their home is safe and sound.
