Foundation Repair Photo Album: Cracked Foundation Wall in Duluth, MN Repaired with PowerBrace Wall Support

This Duluth, MN home has a basement and walkout garage. Soil conditions were causing the walls to crack and bow. After learning about the DBS wall stabilization service from a neighbor, they reached out to schedule a free, no-obligation estimate. A DBS Foundation Design Specialist visited the home, inspecting both the interior and exterior of the foundation walls. Upon assessing the scope of the wall movement, he designed a plan to permanently stabilize the walls using 4 PowerBrace™ steel I-beams. DBS Foundation Repair Foreman Tyler Nacey and his crew installed the PowerBrace™ system. Attaching the vertical supports to the ceiling joists and concrete floor, this system immediately stabilized the walls. Over time, the PowerBrace™ beams can be tightened to restore the wall to its original position.
