Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Canyon, MN wanted to address the cracks in their foundation. Looking for a permanent fix, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, he recommended they have one of our crews install our PowerBrace® System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 4 PowerBrace® i-beams in the crawlspace to provide proper support to the crawl space walls. Each i-beam has a bracket at the top that can be tightened over time in an attempt to straighten the wall back to its original position. The system is backed with a 75-year warranty against the movement, ensuring that the owner can have peace of mind.

Now that the wall has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax without worry.

The owner of the cabin was looking to sell the cabin to his friend. As part of the agreement, he needed to get the foundation wall secured. The owner called the experts at DBS to come out and find a solution to the bowing foundation wall. System Design Specialist, Rich Johnson, made a visit out to the cabin and found a quality solution to the problem foundation wall. The use of PowerBraces would secure the wall and prevent any further damage to the wall and cabin. Foreman, Casey Healy, and his crew were able to install the PowerBraces and secure the wall. This homeowner was very pleased with the results and was able to sell the cabin to his friend confident that the foundation wall was permanently fixed. 

DBS received a call from our clients that they were soon selling their cabin and moving. The cabin had foundation problems and they needed to stabilize the wall before putting it on the market to sell it. DBS concluded the clients needed installation of the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to permanently stabilize and support the wall.
