When a homeowner in Ashland, WI, discovered that two walls in their newly purchased home were severely bowed and two others were slightly bowed, they knew it was crucial to address the issue promptly to prevent further damage. They reached out to us at DBS, seeking a solution to what appeared to be a serious problem. With the structural integrity of their home at risk, we were determined to provide a lasting fix.
Our Customer Care team quickly arranged for an inspection to evaluate the damage. Our System Design Specialist visited the property, confirmed the diagnosis, and proposed an effective solution: the installation of PowerBrace™. The PowerBrace™ system features steel I-beams that anchor securely to the basement floor and the joists above, designed to stabilize bowing walls and potentially straighten them over time.
Our production team proceeded with precision, understanding the importance of their task. Installing PowerBrace™ not only improves the appearance of the walls but also ensures the long-term safety and structural integrity of the home, preventing further bowing and cracking. Despite the potentially intrusive nature of the work, our team executed the process smoothly, minimizing disruption while maintaining cleanliness and efficiency.

By choosing DBS, the homeowner benefited from our commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience and a solution that offers a long-lasting resolution.

What DBS Repair Uses to Stabilize Minnesota Foundations
Every Minnesota foundation problem has a permanent solution. DBS Repair uses proven, engineer-backed systems to stabilize, straighten, and restore homes from Duluth and St. Cloud to Brainerd, Baxter, Elk River, Sauk Rapids, and surrounding counties. And we back every repair with industry-leading, fully transferable warranties.
Foundation Piers:
The Permanent Fix for a Settling Foundation
The most reliable way to stop foundation settlement is to bypass weak soil entirely. DBS Repair installs steel foundation piers that transfer your home’s weight down to stable, load-bearing soil or bedrock, halting settlement permanently and often restoring the structure to its original level position.
Two pier systems we install:
What pier installation solves:
Crawl Space Support Jacks:
Permanent Support for Sagging Floors
Soft, bouncy, or uneven floors above a crawl space need an engineered solution. DBS Repair installs the SmartJack® System, a heavy-duty adjustable steel support post designed for long-term floor stability even in weak soils.
How SmartJack® installation works:
To protect your repair long-term, DBS Repair recommends:
Bowing Wall Repair:
Straighten and Stabilize Before It’s Too Late
A bowing foundation wall won’t fix itself. The longer it moves, the fewer options you have. DBS Repair installs proven, trusted systems to stop inward movement and restore wall strength.
Wall Anchor System
PowerBrace™ Wall System
✅ DBS Repair Tip: The earlier a bowing wall is addressed, the higher the chance of full straightening. Walls that have moved more than 2″ are harder and more costly to correct.
Sunken Slab Repair:
Lift and Level Without Full Replacement
A sinking concrete floor in a Minnesota home, garage, cabin, or lake property doesn’t always mean a full tear-out. DBS Repair uses two minimally invasive methods to lift, stabilize, and level settled slabs. Repairing concrete costs much less than the cost to replace concrete.
