Job Stories From Aitkin, MN
Piering and Concrete Repair in Aitkin, MN

Recently, in the town of Aitkin, MN, a homeowner encountered a troubling issue: their garage slab had sunk approximately 2-3 inches. This not only compromised the garage's functionality and safety but also impacted the overall aesthetic and value of their home. Recognizing the urgency of a dependable solution, they reached out to us for assistance in restoring their garage and peace of mind.

 

After contacting our dedicated Customer Care team, an appointment was quickly set up for a comprehensive home inspection. Our experienced System Design Specialist assessed the extent of the settlement and determined the best approach. We confidently recommended the Helicast™ Grouted Helical Pile System combined with our PolyLevel® solution.

 

On the day of the repair, our production team arrived prepared to address the issue. We began by drilling small, strategically placed holes into the sunken slab and injected PolyLevel® foam using specialized equipment. The foam expanded to fill voids beneath the concrete and lifted the slab back to its original level, all within a few hours. This showcased the efficiency of PolyLevel® and our team’s ability to effect substantial improvements with minimal disruption.

 

The Helical Pier system, known for its robust design and versatility, provided enduring support by anchoring deep into the ground. After finalizing our plan, our skilled production team, led by an expert foreman and diligent installers, worked meticulously to minimize disruption to the homeowner's routine. The Helical Piers were installed with precision, restoring the garage slab and enhancing the foundation’s stability against future issues.

 

Seeing the completed repair was truly rewarding. The garage slab was successfully elevated, and the homeowner regained confidence in their home's stability—exactly what we strive to deliver. Our post-job cleanup left no evidence of our work, apart from the reinforced foundation of their cherished home. Addressing such challenges is what drives us.

Concrete Repair in Aitkin, MN

This homeowner in Aitkin, MN had an issue with their patio settling which was directing water toward the home's foundation, a situation calling for immediate intervention to prevent potential long-term foundation damage. Following the homeowner's contact with our Customer Care team, we scheduled a detailed inspection. Our System Design Specialist diagnosed the root of the issue and recommended a strategic application of PolyLevel® and NexusPro® technologies. PolyLevel® would lift and level the sinking patio, while NexusPro® would seal the formed cracks, preventing further water ingress. Our skilled production team including Nik and Garry executed the solution with precision, using PolyLevel® to stabilize the uneven patio and applying NexusPro® to effectively seal the cracks. Their expertise ensured the patio not only looked good but also functioned as intended, directing water away from the home’s foundation. The problem was solved efficiently, leaving behind a leveled patio free from any tripping hazards and, more importantly, eliminating the risk of water damage to their home's foundation.

A Wet Crawlspace in Aitkin MN

Gregg P. had enough of his low, wet crawlspace. With it's typical dirt floor and vents all around, the crawlspace would get wet in the spring and summer. He called a few contractors to get a couple of proposals that he could compare. After reviewing them, he chose DBS Residential Solutions to encapsulate his crawlspace and solve is issue. 

The major parts of the crawlspace encapsulation included a perimeter draintile, TerraBlock Insulation, Dimple Drainage Matting, Cleanspace, and a Super Sump and Ice Guard. Each piece plays an important part in the Cadillac crawlspace system. The draintile moves any water straight into the SuperSump, which sends it outside through the IceGuard, which doesn't freeze in the winter! The TerraBlock insulation is laid down over the dirt, the first step in separating the cold damp earth from the living quarters. The dimple drainage matting is laid next to ensure that any water leaks is lead into the draintile, taking it out of the area. The Cleanspace is laid last, keeping everything hidden and clean beneath a beautiful white anti bacterial plastic.

Since DBS Residential Solutions has finished his crawlspace, Gregg has been able to enjoy an area that most homeowners don't. Should he choose, his crawlspace is ready to be used as storage! DBS was glad they were able to help out.

I contacted your company last summer and got a free estimate done. Due to financial reasons, I was not able to follow through with the project. I was hoping to open the case back up and possibly have someone come out and take another look at my foundation in order to get it fixed. I have one wall that is bowed and cracked, and the opposite wall is cracked and leaking a small amount of water in. The other two are minimally affected at this point, but there has been more water coming inside through the bowed wall this past summer so I would like to get something done as soon as I can in order to fix this problem as much as possible.
