Before & After Photos

The exterior of this Saint Paul home revealed significant foundation issues, with visible damage to the porch that posed a threat to the rest of the house. At DBS, we knew that immediate action was necessary to prevent further damage. As seen in the 'before' photo, the porch was showing signs of instability. In the 'after' photo, our solution is clear. We installed SmartJack® supports, a main beam, and helical piers to stabilize the porch and protect the home’s foundation from additional harm. These enhancements not only secured the porch but also ensured the overall stability of the structure. With our dedication to long-term solutions and outstanding customer service, this Saint Paul home is now safeguarded against future foundation issues.
