Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Fridley, MN noticed that their foundation was cracking and their front patio was uneven. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Designs Specialist went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, they generated a quote for our piering system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 4 helical piers underneath the footings of the home in order to permanently stabilize the foundation. Each pier is backed with a 25-year transferrable warranty against movement so the homeowner can have peace of mind.

Now that the home has been stabilized, the homeowner will be able to relax and carry out their ideas of doing a remodel in the basement.

The owner of this home in Minneapolis, MN noticed several cracks throughout their home near doors, windows, and other areas of the home. The main beam in the basement was also bowing downwards (see image below). Looking for a solution to their foundation problems, they reached out to DBS.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After the inspection, they generated a free quote for our SmartJack®  System to solve the foundation issues.

When the new owners of this Fridley, MN home noticed a significant crack in their garage floor and foundation, it raised concerns about the structural integrity of the house. After a call with our Appointment Center, a free, no-obligation inspection was set up with our Design Specialist Jake. Our production team, led by Foreman Cobi, stepped in and applied our GeoLock© Wall Anchor solution, addressing the root cause. The after photo displays the effective transformation with a stabilized foundation.

This homeowner in Saint Louis Park, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing the failing foundation wall in their garage. Built in 1995, the block foundation began shifting, prompting the concrete slab to crack as well. Wanting to avoid further damage to protect the integrity of the home for years to come, they contacted DBS.

Our Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner's project. It was determined that both foundation repair and concrete support systems were needed to provide a permanent solution going forward.

DBS Foreman Jose Valenzuela and crew excavated the exterior of the home in order to perform a lift procedure. Our team installed 7 push piers total at the base of the home on the exterior of the home. These galvanized steel piers were then hydraulicaly driven into the ground to weight-bearing soils. The weight of the home was then transferred to the competent soil.

After this was completed, our concrete repair team came in to fill gaps and voids beneath the garage slab with PolyLevel®. Once the slab was lifted and leveled, our team installed NexusPro™ to seal and protect the cracks in the concrete. 

The homeowners can now rest easy knowing their home's garage is protected from further foundation damage.
