Before & After Photos

In Virginia, MN, a precious home with a legacy over three generations faced a dire situation – a failing foundation threatened its future. As expressed by the homeowner, concerns of a caving wall and ensuing water damage loomed large, exacerbating fears of irreparable harm. Entrusted to preserve its sanctity, we intervened with a lasting remedy. Our installation of the PowerBrace™ system, evident in the photos, not only stabilized the foundation but also ensured the home’s legacy securely transitions to the next generation, showcasing our dedication to delivering reliable solutions with a noticeable difference.

The homeowner of this Deerwood, MN home was concerned about the stability of their foundation. There were stair-step cracks running down the walls and it was slightly bowing inward. After calling DBS, a design specialist came out for a free, no-obligation estimate.

He inspected the home and then proposed a solution along with an estimate that same day. This quality solution included a helical anchor system to pull the wall back into place and stabilize it. Because there were also water issues found in the foundation, the solution included a waterproofing system.

With a signed proposal, a date was set to have the production crew come out to install the high-quality solution. The production crew then came out and professionally installed the waterproofing and helical anchor system. With this solution in place, the homeowner no longer had to worry about the unstable foundation.

A cabin owner in Deerwood, MN reached out to DBS for help protecting their cabin's basement. Foundation cracks were allowing cold air and water to seep into the basement, and this was taking its toll on the overall health of the home.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation and insulation support. Our production crew first excavated the wall and performed the foundation support using helical tiebacks. We then used a suite of our Dr. Energy Saver® insulation products to provide further weather proofing and air sealing support.

SentrySeal® is a rubber membrane that we used as the initial layer to seal the space. We then applied a layer of dimple matting to guide any moisture away from the foundation. We then installed a layer of our SilverGlo™ insulation. This rigid foam insulation is infused with graphite, making its R-value up to 25% to that of traditional foam insutlations. 

This home is now protected from further foundation trouble and sealed properly using Dr. Energy Saver® technology.

A homeowner from Deerwood, MN reached out to DBS looking for help with their unsupported foundation. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate.

These homeowners in Deerwood, MN were experiencing sagging floors in their home and wanted a permanent solutions. 

Design Specialist Rich Johnson assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to find the perfect solution for their home. After conducting a careful inspection of the home and crawl space, Rich suggested that SmartJack® Systems should be installed to lift and stabilize the floor. 

Foreman Dustin Behning was the leader of this installation. The team installed 8 SmartJack® Systems in order to redistribute the weight on the home evenly across all support beams. These jacks are very effective and can be adjusted on sight, as well as overtime to continue to support the home as needed. This home had an annual maintenance visit to adjust the jacks further, in order to create more progress on leveling the home. 

This homeowner will now have permanent, level floors in their home and will no longer have to worry about instability in their home.
