Before & After Photos

In Canyon, MN, we faced a homeowner's basement that spoke volumes with its need for structural integrity. Wanting to transition the space into a finished concept, the obstacle was clear in our before photo – an unsupported, precarious main beam. Enter our solution: the PowerBrace system. Designed for robust, lasting support, we redefined what stability means, evidenced in our after photo. Notice the secured beam, an embodiment of safety, ensuring our homeowner can now confidently pursue their basement's transformation.

This home in Foley, MN was suffering from a settling, sinking foundation. The owners were looking for a permanent and professional solution, so they reached out to DBS for help.

One of our Design Specialist assisted the homeowners with a free, no-obligation estimate. After a careful inspection, they recommended our Piering Services and provided a quote.

One of our Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used hydraulic pressure to drive the helical piers down into the stable soil. These piers are able to fully support the structure and are adjusted to raise the structure back to a level, stable position. If your home is suffering from foundation problems, reach out to DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate!

A cabin in Brimson, MN was experiencing foundation settlement and the owner was concerned for the structure. A Design Specialist was able to visit the property and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support service. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the cabin would need to have both helical piers and a helical support beam installed to even out the structure and stop it from any further settling. 

The owners of this home in Brimson, MN noticed that the walls in their crawl space were bowing and cracked. The floors above were also sloping inwards so they reached out to DBS looking for a solution.

 A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, they recommended installing our SmartJack® and PowerBrace® Systems.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed SmartJack® supports directly under the flooring in order to provide proper stabilization to the flooring above. The crew also installed the PowerBrace® i-beams along the walls of the crawl space in order to correct bowing of the walls.

Now that the crawl space has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
