Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Hibbing, MN reached out to us looking for help with the ill-supported foundational walls.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the home to run a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henrik created a quote for our Basement Waterproofing and PowerBrace® Systems.

After the space was thoroughly waterproofed, Foreman Osia Williams led a crew in the installation for our PowerBrace® System. This system is able to permanently stabilize the wall and can be adjusted to move the walls back to their original positioning.

Now that the basement has been repaired, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.

The owner of this cabin and his family hand-built the cabin in the 80s all with wood from the property. Decades later, the foundation was no longer stable. Wanting to keep the cabin in his family, he reached out to DBS to permanently stabilize his family's cabin.

Design Specialist, Jake Gilmer, visited the cabin and provided the owners with a free, no-obligation estimate. James recommended the installation of helical piers along the cabin's foundation and beams installed underneath the cabin to permanently lift and stabilize the cabin.

DBS Foreman, Trevor Ingle, and his Co-Foreman, Gavin Denzler, then installed the helical piers around the cabin to lift and stabilize the cabin. These helical are driven into the ground using hydraulic pressure. Once the pier reaches solid, stable bedrock, the pressure pushes against the ground and causes the piers to stabilize the structure. 

The cabin owner can now have a piece of mind knowing his cabin is permanently stabilized.

This homeowner in Hibbing, MN reached out to DBS after a potential home sale was jeopardized by a concerning wall issue. The previous buyer backed out due to the problem, and the homeowners were determined to address it promptly to avoid any hindrance in the future. The homeowner wanted a permanent fix to ensure the structural integrity of the wall.

Upon inspection of the property, our Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo, devised a plan to address the wall issue effectively. The chosen solution involved cutting sections of the wall to install PowerBraces™, specifically in the finished room where the problem was most prominent.

The DBS crew then proceeded with the installation, strategically placing five PowerBraces™, with two in the finished wall room, ensuring a robust and long-lasting solution.

The collaborative effort between the homeowner and our team resulted in a successful project. The homeowners were pleased with the outcome, confident that the wall issue was permanently addressed, and expressed satisfaction that the resolution met their expectations.
