Before & After Photos

The owner of this cabin in Floodwood, MN reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution to their failing foundation.

A DBS Design Specialist went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the cabin owner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist recommended our helical piering system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed helical piers to replace the failing support posts underneath the cabin. Piers are installed by driving them into the ground beneath a structure until they are lodged into soil strong enough to support the weight of the structure, providing permanent stability.

Now that the cabin's foundation issues have been taken care of, the owner will be able to relax more comfortably with peace of mind, not having to worry about the issue any longer.

This homeowner in Floodwood, MN wanted to address their home's instability issues. The owner wanted to save the structural integrity, so they reached out to DBS for help.

Design Specialist James Miller assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution for the home. After a careful inspection, it was decided that helical piers would be the best option.

A DBS Design Specialist led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used hydraulic pressure to drive the screw-like pier into the ground until it reached stable soil. The pressure then pushes against this stable soil and lifts the structure to provide the needed support.

The homeowner can now relax knowing their new home is safe and stable. 

When a foundation wall is cracked or begun shifting there are several different options that can be utilized, but it is important to have these types of issues inspected as soon as they are noticed so the problem is not allowed to worsen and get more expensive or collapse completely. This homeowner had noticed cracks forming in their wall and understood the importance of taking action in regards to this problem. When our Foundation Specialist Royce viewed the wall he let the homeowner know that it was fortunate he had made the call before he allowed the problem to worsen and we had the perfect solution to permanently stabilize this wall. By using PowerBraces we secured the wall so that it would not shift any further and over time this wall could be adjusted back into place. The structural integrity of this home has a bright future with our new system in place.
