Homeowners of this property in Nashwauk, MN noticed that their basement wall had separated from the flooring while they were installing an egress window over the past summer. One of the owners was referred to DBS by a co-worker, who had seen an advertisement for DBS on their local television station. Looking for a permanent solution to their issue, they contacted DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, James informed the homeowners that their home would be a great candidate for DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System solution. This solution would help to correct the displacement of the wall over time and prevent the wall from additional cracking.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation for this project, and with the help of his crew, they successfully installed 4 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The I-beams were a great solution to this basement's issue because each I-beam has a bracket at the top that can be tightened during dry seasons in order to help straighten the wall.

The owners can now relax comfortably in their home knowing that their foundation has been permanently stabilized, and they have peace of mind knowing that they don't need to worry about replacing the entire wall anymore.

The homeowner of this cabin in Nashwauk, MN noticed that the floors were sagging and were concerned that they would eventually cave in. The original foundation supports were made with wood and over time they settled into the soil as moisture levels changed. Looking for a permanent solution to stabilize their flooring, the owner contacted DBS.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After completing a thorough inspection, Henrik advised them that DBS has a solution specifically designed to combat sagging floors called the SmartJack® System.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project and with the help of a crew, successfully installed 5 SmartJack® supports. They also replaced the main wooden beam with a steel beam to further ensure the stability of the new support system. Installing the SmartJack® System effectively raised and leveled the sagging floors, providing permanent stabilization and prevention from the potential of caved-in flooring.

The owner of this cabin can now relax comfortably and peacefully while on vacation knowing that their floors will not cave in and their cabin has been properly supported.

Job Stories From Nashwauk, MN
Concrete Repair in Nashwauk, MN Near Duluth, MN

A Nashwauk, MN, homeowner faced a frustrating challenge when they could no longer open their garage door due to the sinking and uneven concrete outside the garage. Over time, the settling concrete had created a slope that not only made it difficult to use the garage but also posed safety risks for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our team determined that the best solution would involve PolyLevel® and NexusPro®.

PolyLevel® is an advanced polyurethane foam injection system that lifts and levels sunken concrete slabs, providing a durable and long-lasting result. By injecting the PolyLevel® beneath the slab, we were able to restore the garage entrance to its proper height without the mess or disruption of traditional methods. To ensure a complete, weather-resistant finish, we also used NexusPro® to fill in any cracks and joints, creating a seamless and watertight surface.

As you can see in the accompanying photo gallery, the transformation was not just structural but also aesthetic. The smooth, even surface not only restored the functionality of the garage but also brought peace of mind to the homeowner. They can now use their garage with ease, knowing the concrete will remain stable for years to come.

Piering and Wall Support in Nashwauk, MN

When a homeowner in Nashwauk, MN noticed their garage foundation walls had shifted, and it became impossible to open the entrance door, they reached out to us at DBS for help. Recognizing the urgency of the situation and the potential safety risks involved, we were quick to respond, sending our System Design Specialist to diagnose the problem. It was evident that the structural integrity of the garage was compromised due to the foundation's movement over the years. To address this, we recommended the installation of our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor system - a reliable solution known for its effectiveness in stabilizing foundation walls. Our installation process kicked off with our foreman and the installers arriving at the home, ready to tackle the challenge head-on. The team methodically installed the GeoLock™ Wall Anchor system, securing the garage walls back into place. This process not only rectified the immediate issue but also ensured the foundation's stability for years to come. The homeowner expressed enormous relief and satisfaction after the installation. Their garage door, which once was unusable, was operational again, and the fear of further damage had been alleviated. As we cleaned up the site, leaving no trace behind except for a successfully stabilized foundation, we reflected on our mission. Providing a remarkable customer experience and delivering reliable, long-lasting solutions to homeowners' problems is what we're all about. This job in Nashwauk, MN, was a testament to our commitment to enhancing the safety and comfort of our clients' homes.

Wall Stabilization Project in Nashwauk, MN.

Homeowners in Nashwauk, MN called DBS with a concern that their foundation was unsafe and their walls were unstable. We sent a design specialist to the home and found a solution for our clients.

Our sump pump system will make sure that the water is managed and the drain will take care of any water that gets in.

Project Location: Nashwauk, MN
We have a crawlspace that has been neglected for unknown time. It has no barrier and there is dampness issues, There is a sump pump, effectiveness unknown. House Inspector noticed same dampness signs on joists, slight mold in certain areas, some soft points/rot in the joists and frames that need to be repaired or strengthen or replaced. We would like all compromised structures repaired or replaced, old eliminated, dampness issues addressed and solutions implemented, and increase vapor and insulation factors for the entire space. The cabin is built on piers and was added on in 1956? So there are two different crawl spaces connected to each other but different footing and depths. We would like to plan for a second half bath added and input would be appreciated in regards to planning plumbing needs based on insulation of insulation and vapor barriers. We would really like to get this done before the winter.
