Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Nisswa, MN reached out to us looking for a solution to their bowing and cracked walls in their basement.

One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist created a quote for our PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System.

One of our crews went out to install the system. They installed the PowerBrace® i-beams along the walls in order to permanently stabilize the foundation. The system will help to prevent additional movement and may be able to straighten the wall back to its original position over time.

The homeowner now has peace of mind!

This home was experiencing severe foundation issues and required support at the base of the foundation throughout the home. This pair of images shows what our Push Piers look like when they have been installed on a home. The bracket you see above ground connects the home to a steel pier which has been driven deep into the earth to provide a good base of support for the home. With Push Piers adjustments are made to ensure a proper amount of support for the home prior to backfilling the area once again. 

A homeowner in Angora, MN was concerned about the stability of their home foundation. The foundation began to settle within the soil and it was evident to the owner. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist come out to offer them a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair. It was decided that our crew would install helical piers to stabilize and lift the foundation. This would prevent any further settling or damage from occurring to the rest of the home. The results of the installation can be seen here. 

Facing a daunting challenge, this home in Angora, MN, presented us with severely cracked and bowing basement walls, a distress signal of foundational distress. Notice in the before photo how the integrity of the structure was compromised. Our solution: the GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System, a tailor-made innovation for such formidable problems. The after photo splendidly showcases the transformation – walls realigned and stabilized, promising safety and tranquility for years to come. Through this project, we reaffirmed our commitment to offering remarkable customer experiences and enduring solutions.

Homeowners of this property in Nashwauk, MN noticed that their basement wall had separated from the flooring while they were installing an egress window over the past summer. One of the owners was referred to DBS by a co-worker, who had seen an advertisement for DBS on their local television station. Looking for a permanent solution to their issue, they contacted DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, James informed the homeowners that their home would be a great candidate for DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System solution. This solution would help to correct the displacement of the wall over time and prevent the wall from additional cracking.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation for this project, and with the help of his crew, they successfully installed 4 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The I-beams were a great solution to this basement's issue because each I-beam has a bracket at the top that can be tightened during dry seasons in order to help straighten the wall.

The owners can now relax comfortably in their home knowing that their foundation has been permanently stabilized, and they have peace of mind knowing that they don't need to worry about replacing the entire wall anymore.
