These homeowners in Duluth, MN noticed that their foundation was giving away into the crawl space. They wanted to preserve the structural integrity with a professional solution.

Design Specialist James Miller assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, James provided a quote for our SmartJack® Support System.

Foreman Fred Bozvay led the installation of this project with help from a partner. Together, the duo used these jack systems to evenly support and distribute the weight of the structure. Once stabilized, the jacks can be adjusted to lift the floor above back to their original, level position.

These homeowners have now preserved the structural integrity of their homes. 

This Duluth homeowner was concerned about some water issues in their basement. After a search for the best company to work with, the homeowner reached out to DBS. Kristin Kramer, DBS's Appointment Center Representative, received the call and an appointment was set.  Our System Design Specialist, Rich Johnson made a trip out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. Following the thorough inspection, Rich explained to the homeowner the best possible solutions. The appointment was followed up by setting a date to have Foreman, Kevin Steffey and his production team come out and fix the problem. Three of the walls were fully waterproofed, several power braces with joint reinforcements were installed, and a triple-safe sump pump system was installed. This homeowner now enjoys a safe and dry basement and is without any concern.

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.
