Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

A homeowner reached out to DBS regarding an issue with their foundation wall. A large crack had formed, and it caused the wall to shift and also allowed water to leak in. The problem needed to be solved. DBS went to the home and installed WallDefense straps. These straps are made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, and are very quickly installed. These straps will work to hold the entirety of the block wall together, and will prevent further damage from occuring.
