Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Champlin, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their cracked basement walls. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. One of our crews installed our Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System along the walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind!

The owner of this home in Champlin, MN noticed that the wall in their basement bedroom was cracked near the ceiling above the egress window. They were worried about the structural integrity of the wall, so they decided to reach out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist was sent out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist educated the homeowners on what the root of the issue was, soil. The soil around the home is loosely packed, allowing it to shift and settle over time. This applies unwanted force inwards onto the basement walls and over time, they crack.

A DBS Foreman led the installation on this project with help from a crew. Together they installed our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the walls. The GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System works by excavating a hole on the exterior of the home into the soil. Then a pole is drilled from the inside of the basement out to the excavation site and a steel plate is attached to either end. The bolt-on the interior plate is tightened until the wall pushes against the interior plate, and the soil pushes against the exterior plate.

Now that the basement walls have been stabilized, the homeowner can relax peacefully knowing their basement bedroom is structurally sound.

The owner of this home in Anoka, MN noticed that their home was sinking deeper into the soil over time. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Nick Corbin went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Nick advised the homeowner to hire DBS to install our push pier system to permanently stabilize their foundation.

Foreman George Barry led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 6 push piers underneath the foundation of the home. Each pier is backed with a 25-year transferrable warranty against movement so that our customers can have peace of mind.

The homeowner can now relax comfortably in their home without worrying about a failing foundation.

These homeowners from Hillman, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their failing cabin foundation. When DBS arrived the home was supported by wood beams and cinder blocks. The existing support system was sagging and getting worse each year. 

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the foundation, SmartJack® support beams were recommended to permanently stabilize this home. Foreman Jose Valenzuela and his production crew worked hard under the crawl space to stabilize this cabin. 

This cabin is now permanently stabilized with a nationally-backed warranty. 

This homeowner in Rosemount, MN wanted to find a solution that would provide stability and support for the deck of the home. They wanted a professional and permanent solution, so they reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful and thorough inspection, Henrik and the homeowner decided that our piering solution would be the perfect option.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project with help from a team. The team used hydraulic pressure to drive the piers into the ground. They reached solid, native soil. These piers will be able to fully support a structure above while combating any future settlement sinking.

This homeowner can now enjoy the stable, secure deck at their home.
