Before & After Photos

The owners of this home in Prior Lake, MN experienced issues with their sunroom sinking and settling into the soil. In hopes of finding a solution, the owners reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After a thorough inspection, James educated the owners on a piering system that DBS installs for lighter structures which would be the perfect solution to their problem. 

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed 2 HelixPro®helical piers underneath the structure of the sunroom to permanently stabilize it. Helical piers are installed by using heavy machinery to drive the steel piers deep beneath a structure until they reach soil that is strong enough to support the weight of the structure. 

The homeowners can now comfortably enjoy their sunroom without worrying about it sinking further into the soil.

This homeowner in Wayzata, MN had noticed their floors had become bouncy and were sagging. The support beams that had been previously installed were installed incorrectly, so the owner reached out to DBS to help with this unfortunate situation.

Design Specialist Jason Swanson assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, our SmartJack® Support System was recommended and a quote was provided. 

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from Rowan Wentworth. The team was able to successfully remove the existing beams and replace them with the DBS solution. Our jack solution is able to fully support the structure and can be adjusted in order to lift and level the floors.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home has a proper and professional solution. 

In Superior, WI, a homeowner was faced with a foundation dilemma that seemed overwhelming—the shaky state potentially losing $150K in home value, a concern too pressing for peaceful sleep. Our DBS solution was swift and effective. We employed the PowerBrace™ system to secure and stabilize the foundation, a critical move reflected in the before and after photos. Additionally, we installed the CleanSpace® SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to control moisture and improve air quality. Notice the remarkable transformation from precarious to solid, ensuring this home's value soared, and the homeowner's worries dissolved. Through dedication and customized solutions, we guarantee not just a home's endurance but peace of mind.

A homeowner contacted DBS for help with their foundation, which had developed cracks. The wooden posts supporting the porch and living room had sunk into the ground, causing instability. To address the issue, our design specialist proposed installing piers under the posts to provide additional support.

Our team arrived on site and installed three helical cabin piers, which successfully reinforced the beams. The homeowner was pleased with the results!

A homeowner in Minnetonka, MN was experiencing issues with their basement foundation wall. The concrete block wall was starting to bow, and the homeowner was unsure if this would be a problem down the road. After they reached out to DBS and received a free, no-obligation estimate, it was determined that wall would indeed need stabilization using several PowerBrace™ units. The PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System is exceptional in adding support to foundation walls, and can even work to straighten them back to original form.
