Before & After Photos

Before, this Minneapolis homeowner faced a common yet daunting issue – a garage wall bowing inward due to shifting soils, exacerbated by a crack allowing water intrusion. As you can see in the before photo, the problem was more than cosmetic; it threatened the garage's structural integrity. After calling us, we immediately worked our magic. By installing our robust Carbon Armor© solution, as illustrated in the after photo, we not only stabilized the wall but also arrested the water issue, ensuring a safer, drier garage. This transformation exemplifies our commitment to delivering a reliable and long-lasting solution, providing our customers with peace of mind and an unwaveringly remarkable experience.

Our commitment to exceptional service and lasting solutions turned a challenging situation into a success story.

This Golden Valley, MN home had a walkout basement that was also connected to their garage. This family had been monitoring a foundation issues for a few years, and when they noticed the issue getting worse, they contacted DBS in search of a solution.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair work. He diagnosed the foundation as bowing - the common result of inward pressure cause by soil over time.

A DBS Foreman and crew installed 3 GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses the heavy-duty anchors in and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. Our team also added 4 Push Piers inside the garage to immediately lift the sinking structure.

The customer was happy with the work done and now has a permanent solution they can count on for years to come.

The driveway of this home in Golden Valley, MN was built over a bridge. The bridge was showing signs of settling and it was clear that a solution was needed because there were cracks forming.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist generated a quote for our helical piers.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed 5 cabin piers and 6 deck piers underneath the bridge to permanently stabilize it. Each pier was driven into the ground until it hit soil sturdy enough to support the weight of the structure, ensuring that the driveway will be free of additional movement in the future.

Now that the driveway has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind and not have to worry about their driveway collapsing.
