Foundation Repair Photo Album: Home Stabilization and Frost Protection In Barnum, Minnesota

These homeowners in Barnum, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their sinking foundation. DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Henrik found that sections of the foundation were sinking into the earth. This will not get better with time but it will get better with us! Supportworks Helical Piers were recommended to stabilize the sinking foundation of this home. To prevent further heaving frost protection was installed on the surface of the earth outside the home. This home was repaired by DBS Field Supervisor Kevin Steffey and his production crew. This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
