Before & After Photos

This home in Mountain Iron, MN was suffering from bowing foundation walls. Without addressing this issue, the owner was risking wall failure in their home. They reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist Jake Gilmer assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, Jake recommended our GeoLock™ Wall Anchoring System. 

Foreman Greg Owens led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together, the crew installed this anchor system to stabilize and reposition the wall. This system connected the inside of the home to the solid and stable soil outside of the home, leaving the wall stable and unmovable.
