The homeowner of this cabin in Tower, MN was excited to begin remodeling. However, a home inspection before the project identified major foundational issues. Looking for a solution, the owner called DBS. Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the cabin owner. Rich advised them that DBS has a solution that can permanently stabilize their cabin as well as prevent it from additional sinking and settling called a SmartJack® System. Foreman Trevor Ingle took the lead in the installation of this project. With the assistance of a crew, they installed 24 SmartJack® supports along with 20 helical piers in order to provide enough support to the cabin. After a successful installation, the cabin is guaranteed permanently stabilized, and the homeowner can relax comfortably knowing that their future investments will be protected once they decide to remodel.
