These homeowners in Superior, WI reached out to DBS for help stabilizing and waterproofing their basement. 

Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work.

Over time the support beams are tightened in an attempt to bring the walls back to level. Foreman Zach Jorenby and his production crew successfully installed the products.

This Cloquet, MN homeowner has lived in their home since it was built in 1940. Over time the home's crawl space has settled, causing the floor of the home's main level to sink. Once doors and windows on the first level became difficult to open due to the foundation shifting, the homeowner reached out to DBS for a permanent solution. 

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the support work in the crawl space. It was determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling.

DBS Foreman Kevin Steffey and production crew installed the Smart Jack® system as well as supplemental beams to restore the crawl space and provide proper support to the rest of the home. 

The homeowner now enjoys a healthy, safe, and comfortable home! 

Homeowners in South Range, WI were having foundation issues leading to excess moisture entering the home. Living in the home for about 15 years, they noticed the issues worsening over time, contributing to significant leaking during springtime thaws and heavy rains. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for foundation repair as well as a waterproofing system. DBS Production Manager Kevin Steffey was the leading foreman on the job for both jobs. He and his production team installed our waterproofing system, and then turn focus to the foundation job. 

First, they excavated soil around the home's foundation and then installed 9 Push Piers, driving them down into the load-bearing strata. These hydraulically driven piers assist in returning the home to its original position. A GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System was also installed connecting anchors on the inside of the home and exterior soil with a long steel rod that will be tightened over time, returning the walls to their original position. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now have a dry basement and supported home they can depend on!
