Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Poplar, WI reached out to DBS for help with bowing walls in their basement.

A DBS Design Specialist went out to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist recommended our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 12 PowerBrace® i-beams along the interior side of the basement walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Each i-beam is backed with a 75-year warranty against the movement, so the homeowner can rest assured of the solution to their bowing wall issue.

This homeowner in Wayzata, MN had noticed their floors had become bouncy and were sagging. The support beams that had been previously installed were installed incorrectly, so the owner reached out to DBS to help with this unfortunate situation.

Design Specialist Jason Swanson assisted the owner with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, our SmartJack® Support System was recommended and a quote was provided. 

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation of this project with help from Rowan Wentworth. The team was able to successfully remove the existing beams and replace them with the DBS solution. Our jack solution is able to fully support the structure and can be adjusted in order to lift and level the floors.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home has a proper and professional solution.

A homeowner from Champlin, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their cracked basement walls. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate appointment. One of our crews installed our Geo-Lock™ Wall Anchor System along the walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Now the homeowner can relax with peace of mind!

The owner of this home in Champlin, MN noticed that the wall in their basement bedroom was cracked near the ceiling above the egress window. They were worried about the structural integrity of the wall, so they decided to reach out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist was sent out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist educated the homeowners on what the root of the issue was, soil. The soil around the home is loosely packed, allowing it to shift and settle over time. This applies unwanted force inwards onto the basement walls and over time, they crack.

A DBS Foreman led the installation on this project with help from a crew. Together they installed our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System to permanently stabilize the walls. The GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System works by excavating a hole on the exterior of the home into the soil. Then a pole is drilled from the inside of the basement out to the excavation site and a steel plate is attached to either end. The bolt-on the interior plate is tightened until the wall pushes against the interior plate, and the soil pushes against the exterior plate.

Now that the basement walls have been stabilized, the homeowner can relax peacefully knowing their basement bedroom is structurally sound.
