Cabin owners reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cabin located in Saginaw, MN. The cabin has been in the family for generations and was in need of serious help to stay healthy for decades to come.
DBS Design Specialist Nathan Schroeder went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home, Nathan recommended stabilizing the sinking structure using Supportworks® push piers. Push piers are driven deep underground until they reach bedrock and are measured using hydraulic pressure. Once solid bedrock is reached the structure can be permanently stabilized and is guaranteed under a nationally-backed warranty! This stabilization system is completely hidden from sight once installed and is covered with dirt and can have grass or other landscaping options applied. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his production crew.
This cabin is now healthy, safe, and stable for many years to come!
A homeowner in Foxboro, WI was in need of better insulation around their home to ensure a warmer and more comfortable living space. They reached out to DBS to help find a solution. A crew went in and provided the spray foam insulation service, which will help seize any cold air from entering vulnerable areas from outside the house. Additionally, this will also help save energy for the home.
The windows in this basement were not idea for this situation. They allowed water to leak into the basement and their low insulation rating made then house much less efficient. With the sunrise windows we installed the basement is now more insulated and water no longer leaks through this the window openings.
The foundation walls in this Chisholm, MN home had an extreme bow to them. They needed to be stabilized fast!
The owner of this home in Bovey, MN was concerned about large cracks that had appeared over time in their basement wall causing a great degree of bowing. They have installed temporary supports but were getting frustrated with the inconvenience of repeatedly dealing with the issue. Looking for a permanent solution, the owners called DBS.
Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After completing the inspection, Rich notified the owners that DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System solution would solve their issues with ease.
Joe Harris was the Foreman assigned to this project and with the help of a crew, together they installed 5 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The I-beams are anchored with brackets at the top that can be tightened during dry periods in an attempt to straighten the wall. DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System guarantees that the wall is protected against additional cracking or bowing. After the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was installed the home has been permanently stabilized.
The owners of this home will relax comfortably knowing that they will not need to do any more temporary fixes in the future and their home is safe and sturdy for the future.
