Owners of this home in Northeast Minneapolis, MN had cracks in their foundation. It appeared that individual foundation blocks were shifting, and this was causing concern for further damage.

DBS Design Specialist Jason Brummer visited the home and performed a thorough inspection, assessing the basement wall cracking. His action plan for the block walls in the basement was to install our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, and to lift and level the sinking concrete on the home's exterior. 

DBS Foreman Zach Jorenby and crew installed a PowerBrace™ I-beam in the trouble area. Our team anchored the beam to the basement concrete, as well as to the rim joist in the ceiling. This beam will be tightened overtime to restore the wall's original position.

The homeowners were happy with the work done and can now count on a safe and supported basement.
