Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Duluth, MN noticed that the stair-step crack in their basement had grown deeper over time. After seeing signs and trucks around town for DBS, the owners decided to reach out in hopes of finding a solution to their issue.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After a thorough inspection, he explained our push pier system to the homeowner and reassured them that the system would permanently stabilize their home.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they drove 4 push piers beneath the foundation of the home until they hit a more stable layer of soil, ensuring that the structure would not experience any further sinking or settling. The crew also sealed the crevice with NexusPro®, a silicone-based sealant. The home has been permanently stabilized, and each pier is backed with a 25-year warranty.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind knowing that they are safe in their home.
