CASE STUDY
FOUNDATION WALL UNSTABLE IN WRENSHALL, MN
This homeowner in Wrenshall, MN was deeply concerned about some shifting in the foundation walls of their lower level. Our specialized structural engineering team performed a comprehensive site diagnostic walkthrough and executed a dual-action remediation plan—combining our high-capacity PowerBrace™ stabilization system with engineered waterproofing defenses to permanently safeguard the home’s infrastructure.
This homeowner was concerned about some shifting in the foundation walls. After reaching out to DBS and a brief phone call with the office staff, an appointment was made to have a System Design Specialist come out for a free no-obligation estimate. The specialist inspected the home and explained to the homeowner the foundation walls had shifted over time. He additionally noted some water issues found during the inspection. For the shifting foundation walls, the installation of power braces and joint reinforcements would bring the wall to the correct placement. The best quality solution to the water issues would be waterproofing, a super pump, and sentry seal systems that would ensure a warm and dry basement. These solutions combined would make certain the homeowners would enjoy a safe and comfortable home!
