Foundation Repair Photo Album: Settled Foundation Lifted and Encapsulated In Aitkin, Minnesota

These homeowners in Aitkin, Minnesota reached out to DBS for help lifting and stabilizing their sinking foundation. DBS Design Specialist Royce Bunn went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Royce recommended installing 8 Supportworks® helical piers to lift the sinking home. Once stabilized a new skirting was installed around the home and encapsulated using Dr. Energy Saver™ CleanSpace® water proofing vapor barrier and closed cell spray foam. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew. This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
