Concrete Leveling & Foundation Stabilizing Contractor in Eau Claire County, WI

A homeowner reached out to DBS regarding a commonly noticed issue. The deck of their house has a concrete retaining wall beneath it that was starting to crack and shift slightly. This was alarming because it would not have been ideal for this wall to experience any further issues and end up damaging parts of the home or deck. The homeowner was eager to find a solution. DBS sent out a Design Specialist to take a look and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the project. It was decided that the retaining wall would need Geolock® Wall Anchors installed to help stabilize the wall from any further movements. GeoLock® is a specially designed galvanized steel anchor which is embedded below surface in undisturbed soil. From their, it is attached to a seperate anchor on the interior portion of the wall by a steel rod. The attachment of the anchors, once filled in, will permanently stabilize the wall in hopes of preventing any extended issues. With the help of DBS, we can provide your foundation with a more safe and reliable structure!

In Fall Creek, WI, a barn owner was experiencing a failing foundation wall, which can be caused by a lack of structural support. The wall was also beginning to crack, and this can cause it to bow or bend. This was worrying for the owner, and they reached out to DBS to find a solution to the problem. A Design Specialist provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the services, and concluded that the best possible method to combat the failing wall would be to install both the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, as well as GeoLock® units. Both of these products work to stabilize a poorly supported wall structure, and can even work to help shift the wall back to the original position if bowing had occurred. A photo of the end of the project is shown here. The results turned out great, and the barn owner can now be comfortable with a safer, more stable block wall.

Our goal was clear: to create a warm, resilient environment conducive to their plans of potentially converting it into a combined office and storage area for their musical equipment.

Upon receiving the inquiry, our dedicated Customer Care team promptly initiated the first step: a thorough attic inspection. A System Design Specialist meticulously assessed the space and devised a tailored solution. Our recommendation? Install high-quality insulation to combat the cold.

When we received a call from a homeowner in Altoona, WI, facing a frustrating issue of crawlspace flooding during rainfall, we knew we had to step in and help. The homeowner was encountering significant water ingress through both crawl spaces, with an added complication: a sinkhole jeopardizing the southern crawl space's integrity and limited accessibility due to varying crawl space heights. Understandably, the homeowner was anxious, fearing a complete foundation overhaul might be necessary.

Upon our inspection, it became clear why distress overwhelmed our Altoona neighbor. With water sneaking in through the crawl spaces and limited access to these critical areas, the problem seemed daunting. Yet, our solution brought palpable relief. We devised a plan to enable exterior access to the more challenging crawl space and utilized our proven waterproofing methods to create a viable solution without the drastic measure of foundation replacement.

The installation of the CleanSpace® liner, the UltraSump™ System, and IceGuard® became our trifecta for securing a dry, healthy, and future-proof crawlspace. The CleanSpace liner is designed to encapsulate crawl spaces, warding off moisture and humidity. The UltraSump System, a reliable sump pump, efficiently pumps water out, while IceGuard shields against potential frozen discharge lines during cold snaps.

The relief felt by the homeowner was visible after we outlined our approach and executed the plan to perfection. Gone were the worries of foundational repairs and flooding fears, replaced instead with the security of a tried-and-tested waterproofing system crafted precisely for such challenges. In addressing and solving another unique crawlspace quandary in Altoona, WI, we once again affirmed our commitment to providing unhindered comfort and structural security to our clients' homes.

At DBS, we recently completed a project in Eau Claire, WI, that highlighted our commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience alongside effective solutions for home issues. The homeowner faced a sunken corner in their garage, which compromised the structural balance. This problem not only posed safety risks but also affected the garage's appearance and potentially the home's value. Naturally, an urgent and effective solution was necessary.

Upon contacting our Customer Care team, we swiftly arranged for a System Design Specialist from our Sales Team to conduct an on-site inspection. After a thorough evaluation, our expert determined that the best approach would involve our high-quality PolyLevel® system for lifting and leveling, paired with NexusPro® for joint protection and sealing.

PolyLevel® is an innovative foam injection process that is both eco-friendly and specifically designed to quickly stabilize and raise sunken concrete slabs. NexusPro® complements this by sealing joints and cracks against water infiltration, significantly extending the repair's lifespan. Together, they provide not just a fix, but a comprehensive solution focused on durability and aesthetics.

With a clear plan in place, our production team, led by an experienced foreman and skilled installers, undertook the project. Their precision and care during installation reflected their dedication to professionalism and efficiency. They carefully injected PolyLevel® beneath the sunken corner, raising it to align perfectly with the rest of the garage—a process designed for a seamless finish. Next, they treated all joints and cracks with NexusPro® to guard against future damage and ensure a clean, smooth surface.

By the end of the job, the homeowner was presented with a beautifully restored garage, fully satisfied with the results.
