Before & After Photos

Nestled on the shores of Lake Nebagamon, WI, this beloved family boathouse, with a history that spans generations, faced a serious challenge as its foundation began to tilt and weaken. With the summer waves of the lake adding to the instability, the safety and longevity of the boathouse were in jeopardy, sparking concern for its preservation.

Determined to safeguard this lakeside gem, we stepped in to restore its strength. As shown in the before photo, the damage was evident, but our solution lay in the precision and reliability of Helical Piers. Fast forward to the after photo—the transformation is clear. The foundation is now solid and secure, ensuring the boathouse can withstand both the elements and the test of time. We are proud to have played a part in preserving this family’s lakeside retreat for many years to come.

This customer reached out to DBS after noticing cracks in their basement walls and on the outside of the house. With the intention of potentially renting out or selling their property, they wanted to make sure their basement was safe and wasn't going to cause any further issues in the future.

When our Design Specialist, Nicholas Corbin, went out to the property, he inspected the cracks and was able to relate them to a foundation issue. The foundation was settling and the house needed to be supported through the installation of interior piers and lifts.

Once our production crew was able to get out to the residents property, they were able to install our 3" Push Piers that have a low profile bracket underneath the foundation and lift it back into place. Once the products were installed, the homeowner was happy with the results and could be more comfortable renovating the basement for the future of the house.
