Before & After Photos

The first-time homeowners of this property in Grand Rapids, MN were concerned for their children's safety noticing that their basement was having trouble staying dry. They also became aware of several areas of cracking throughout their walls and ceilings. While at a home show, they addressed their concerns with a DBS professional, and they advised them to set up a free no-obligation estimate.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to their property to conduct an inspection. A thorough estimate was done on the issue and Henrik advised the homeowners that DBS's foundational and waterproofing products would be a great fit for their home.

Co-Foreman Joe Harris led the installation of this project with his crew. Together they installed DBS's TripleSafe™ sump pump, WaterGuard® drain system in order to assist in waterproofing the basement, and also installed GeoLock™ Wall Anchors and SmartJack® System foundation repair solutions. 

The homeowners of this property have peace of mind knowing that their basement has been properly waterproofed, and their foundation will not fail. They can finally relax comfortably knowing that their children will grow up in a safe, healthy, and sturdy home.

These homeowners from Bovey, Minnesota reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their cracked and bowing foundation walls. Luckily wall damage was present and foundation settlement was not. The wall failure indicated that increasing soil pressure over time was damaging the structural integrity of this home. 

DBS Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home and walls Henrik recommended installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams. These steel I-beams come from Supportworks® and offer an immediate wall stabilization solution. Over time, PowerBrace™ wall support beams are tightened in an attempt to bring bowing walls back to level. This progress is benchmarked during annual maintenance appointments through our DBS Customer Care Club. PowerBrace™ wall support beams are installed with a 75-year fully-transferable and nationally-backed warranty!
