Before & After Photos

Homeowners of a 1970's Aiktin, MN home were experiencing wall failure in several areas of their basement. Looking for peace of mind and a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS.  

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the failing foundation. It was determined that significant foundation support was needed, and Antonio O'Neil and his crew installed 24 PowerBraces™ along the perimeter of the basement. The PowerBrace™ I-beams are connected to top lever brackets, as well as footings on the floor. These supports are tightened over time in an attempt to restore the walls to their original position. 

This basement foundation now has a solid, long-lasting solution with the PowerBrace™ system, protected under a 75-year warranty. 

There homeowners in Superior, WI reached out to DBS for help fixing their cracked walls. 

Design Specialist, James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. GeoLock® Wall Anchors were a perfect fit for stabilizing the failing walls. Foreman Zach Royer and his production crew installed the GeoLock® anchors. 

This home is now safe, stable and healthy! 

These homeowners in Esko, MN reached out to DBS for help insulating their attic. They installed air ducts but they were not properly sealed and as a result, this attic was leaking energy. 

Design Specialist, Hunter Riley went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Closed-cell spray foam was recommended to seal off rim joists, air ducts, and insulate the roof deck. Foreman Jason Foster and his production crew worked hard and installed the insulation. 

This home is now more healthy, safe, and more energy-efficient!

Owners of this Cloquet, MN home were looking to repair their garage in preparation to sell their home. To ensure this problem would not get in the way of a potential sale, they reached out to DBS in search of a permanent solution.

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that a piering solution was needed to address this issue. Zach Royer and his crew performed the work and installed a Push Pier® into the ground, supporting the foundation and preventing any further movement. They also used a CarbonArmor® "stitch kit" to repair and support the wall's interior cracking.

The garage is now fully supported and secure for years to come!

The owners of this cabin home in Hayward, WI had the property for about three years when they noticed some significant settling in their home. This resulted in some structural issues, even posing trouble to the front door opening and closing properly. Looking for a permanent solution, the homeowners reached out to DBS. 

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that a lift procedure was needed to address the structural settlement. Kevin Steffey and his crew performed the work and drove 3 HelixPro® piers into the ground at key points to support the cabin structure. These piers are driven through the soil, down to the strata layer of rock, providing solid support to the home.

The homeowners were very complimentary of the work done and can now enjoy a safe and supported cabin for years to come!
