Settling Foundation in Schroeder, MN Home Stabilized with Push Pier System

Before	After

This Schroeder, MN homeowner was struggling with foundation instability. The house had settled so much that the doors and windows no longer worked properly. The homeowner wanted to fix this problem before it got any worse and to be able to keep the home in good condition for their family. 

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams assisted this homeowner in a free no-obligation estimate to find the perfect solution for their home. It was decided that installing push piers was the best option. 

Foreman Trevor Ingle, along with a team, led this installation. Together, they installed 8 push piers systems. These piers are made out of steel that is strong enough to lift the foundation. Using hydraulic pressure, these push piers are set deep into the native soil of the land and can raise the settled foundation back to its original position. They are a lasting, permanent solution for foundation settlement. 

This homeowner can now enjoy their home for years to come without having to worry about their home moving any further.

Drain Tile Installed in Leaky Duluth, MN Basement

Before	After

This 1960's Duluth, MN home had issues with water leaking in the basement. After living in the home for about two years, and noticing consistent issues with water, they decided to contact DBS for a permanent solution. 

DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the waterproofing project. He determined that drain tile would be installed around the perimeter of the basement, leading water to a new sump pump. 

DBS Foreman Taylor Allen and his production crew worked on this interior waterproofing job. The crew began by breaking out concrete to create a trench around the home's footing. Our WaterGuard® drain system was put into place and will effectively captures wall and floor seepage, directing it to a new SingleSafe™ sump pump. The crew finished the job by burying the discharge line in the lawn away from the home. 

This family can now rest easy knowing their home is protected from future water damage.
