Foundation Repair Photo Album: PowerBrace™ Support Beams Stabilize Bowing Foundation in Hermantown, MN

These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked and bowing foundation. Over time expanding soils put increased pressure on the foundation of homes. Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Henrik recommended PowerBrace™ Wall Support beams to immediately stabilize the bowing walls. Increased pressure from expanding soil is the cause of this basement having bowing walls. Over time the PowerBrace™ System is tightened in an attempt to bring the walls back to level. Our PowerBrace™ Stabilization System offers a 75-year transferable warranty. Foreman Zach Royer and his production crew installed the PowerBrace™ Beams and this house now has a permanently stable foundation.
