Foundation Repair Photo Album: Waterproofing System Needed in Forest Lake, MN

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN had issues with water leaking into their basement. As evidenced in the photos, this had done significant damage to the home's walls. In hopes of a permanent solution, they contacted DBS for a FREE, no-obligation estimate.  Henrik Makitalo is one of our expert Design Specialists at DBS, and he visited the home to provide a thorough inspection and estimate for the work. He noticed that the source of the water was due in part to cracking in the foundation wall.  To address this structural issue, both the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System and GeoLock® Wall Anchor System would be installed to maximize the support and stabilization of the wall. These two systems are ideal components to combatting foundation wall cracking and bowing, and can even work to potentially straighten out badly bowed walls over time.  Additionally, a WaterGuard® drainage system would be installed around the perimeter of the basement to properly filter any incoming water and lead it to a new SmartSump™ sump pump to keep the basement free and clear of moisture in the future!
