Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS in need of several services to help create a healthier and more comfortable environment for their basement. They needed to have added wall support for their foundation, as well as a waterproofing system, put in. A crew was able to go in and install the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System along the foundation wall for stabilization, as well as CleanSpace® wall poly for waterproofing. Both products are optimal in providing exactly what one may need to support their basement. 

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was looking to revamp their basement area, and that would consist of adding a new waterproofing system as well as some structural support. They had a Design Specialist come out and provide them with a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. It was determined that our crew would have to install an array of products. Shown here is the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, which is used for the foundation wall support. Also included is CleanSpace® wall encapsulation for waterproofing, followed by a WaterGuard® drainage system down below. 

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing a crawl space issue with their home. The area was inadequately supported with old wooden posts, and over time, this can cause settling within the surface and sagging for the floors above. In need of a fixture, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist come out to give them a free, no-obligation estimate for a solution. It was determined that we would install the SmartJack® System along with the crawl space with a supplemental support beam across the sagging floor joists. The results of the project can be seen here. 

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their bowing basement walls. They were getting worse with time and the cracks allowed water to enter the home.

DBS Design Specialist James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home James recommended installing PowerBrace™  wall support beams to permanently stabilize the bowing foundation. PowerBrace™ support beams immediately stabilize the bowing foundation and are benchmarked yearly by our service team to bring walls back to level. This system is installed with a 75-year fully transferable warranty. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew.

This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable! 

The owner of this home has recently been investing a lot of money into their basement over the past few years. They were concerned about protecting the recent projects that they had completed after they had noticed stairstep cracking in the walls that occurred over the years. In hopes of finding a solution to their foundation failure, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist, James Miller, went out to the property to conduct a thorough, free, no-obligation estimate and inspection of the situation. Upon completion of examining the basement, and acknowledging the large horizontal cracks running through the walls, James determined that this home would be a great candidate for DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman, Osia Williams, took on this project along with his crew. Together they successfully installed 5 PowerBrace™ I-beams in the basement of this home to prevent the problem wall from any further cracking or bowing. The home is now permanently stabilized, and the owner can relax comfortably knowing that their previous investments are protected and that their home is sturdy and safe.
