Before & After Photos

A homeowner near Britt, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their wet, unsupported basement foundation. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Basement Waterproofing and PowerBrace® Systems. One of our crews installed our WaterGuard® french drains and CleanSpace® water vapor barrier in the basement to thoroughly waterproof the space. They also installed our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System to stabilize the foundation walls permanently.

This home was experiencing severe foundation issues and required support at the base of the foundation throughout the home. This pair of images shows what our Push Piers look like when they have been installed on a home. The bracket you see above ground connects the home to a steel pier which has been driven deep into the earth to provide a good base of support for the home. With Push Piers adjustments are made to ensure a proper amount of support for the home prior to backfilling the area once again. 

A homeowner in Angora, MN was concerned about the stability of their home foundation. The foundation began to settle within the soil and it was evident to the owner. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist come out to offer them a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair. It was decided that our crew would install helical piers to stabilize and lift the foundation. This would prevent any further settling or damage from occurring to the rest of the home. The results of the installation can be seen here. 

Facing a daunting challenge, this home in Angora, MN, presented us with severely cracked and bowing basement walls, a distress signal of foundational distress. Notice in the before photo how the integrity of the structure was compromised. Our solution: the GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System, a tailor-made innovation for such formidable problems. The after photo splendidly showcases the transformation – walls realigned and stabilized, promising safety and tranquility for years to come. Through this project, we reaffirmed our commitment to offering remarkable customer experiences and enduring solutions.

This home just outside the city of Gilbert had gone without care for some time and the current owner now wishes to restore it to its original glory of when it was their family home. Among the first steps in this process was to re-stabilize the foundation. After years of temporary fixes on the foundation, it was time to install a permanent solution that supported the whole home without need for wood shims, additional bottle jacks, or a newly constructed foundation. By using a combination of helical piers and steel beams we created a solution custom fit to the home that provides even support across the whole home.
