A deck in Brule, WI was in need of some added support aside from the original wood posts that went with it, and DBS was able to send out a crew to install helical piers across the structure. These piers are comprised of galvanized steel capable of supporting heavy structures such as home decks, and they work to stabilize them from settling into the ground further. The results of the pier project can be viewed in this gallery.
These homeowners from Brule, Wisconsin reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked foundation walls. The lower level of their home was partially underground with the top third above the ground.
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 installing GeoLock™ earth anchors to permanently stabilize the failing walls. The GeoLock™ support system works by connecting two plates together using galvanized steel rods and plates. One plate is installed outside the home in stable soil and the other is placed on the wall inside the home. Over time these connected plates are tightened to correct bowing walls.
This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew.
This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
A homeowner in Aurora, MN was experiencing issues with their concrete basement wall. The wall was beginning to fail from lack support and cave in. This was concerning for the homeowner, as it can lead to further structural issues with the home. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS. After a free, no-obligation estimate, it was determined that the wall would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed for extra support. These braces work to stabilize a bowing wall, and can even work to straighten the wall back to its original position. The overall results of this project turned out great!
As you can see from the photo, this basement foundation wall was collapsing inward and it was quite apparent. The homeowner was looking for help in stabilizing the wall to prevent further damages, and reached out to DBS. It was determined that the wall would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed to help support the bowing wall. The results of the project can be viewed here.
