Before & After Photos

A home in Hermantown, MN was experiencing foundation issues as their basement walls were beginning to bow. This was worrisome for the homeowner, and they reached out to DBS for a solution to the problem. It was concluded that the home would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed, as shown in the photo attached, in order to properly stabilize the foundation. The results were satisfactory, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable basement environment. 

DBS worked on a basement that required waterproofing services, the water was getting in where the floor and walls met, this required interior waterproofing around the perimeter of the basement with sealant. The home also needed a replacement sump pump. Our installation crew installed the TripleSafe™ sump pump with a liner to ensure the basement area stays dry, while the new TripleSafe™ sump pump manages the household’s water efficiently and neatly.

A basement in Duluth, MN was experiencing structural issues with the foundation. The old concrete walls were beginning to shift, which was worrying for the homeowner, as this can cause further damages to the household. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS for help. After thorough inspection, it was decided that the best fix to the issue would be to install the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System, as seen in the photo. These galvanized steel anchors work to create a pulling, stabilizing force on the wall, which can help shift the wall back to the original positioning. 

A homeowner in Hermantown, MN was experiencing some issues with the deck of their home. The structure had started heaving and would mess with the windows on the porch. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist provide them with a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that the deck would need a set of helical pier units installed to help stabilize the structure. Our crew went in and successfully installed the piers, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more stable deck.

A homeowner in Hermantown, MN was in search of deck support for their home and reached out to DBS for assistance. After a thorough inspection done by our Design Specialist, it was concluded that the deck posts would need to have helical piers installed to help support them as opposed to the original cinder blocks. These piers are constructed from galvanized steel and have the capability of supporting massive loads, such as full decks, making them an ideal product to install.
