Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Alborn, MN reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution to their failing basement foundation walls.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Rich generated a quote for our PowerBrace® Wall Reinforcing System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 10 PowerBrace® i-beams along the basement walls in order to correct bowing that had happened over the years. Over time the brackets at the top of each i-beam can be tightened in an attempt to straighten the wall back to its original position.

Now that the basement has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind and not need to worry about the structural integrity of their home.
