Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Two Harbors, MN contacted DBS in hopes of a permanent solution for their sinking and settling garage building. The garage foundation had been shifting over the span of many years but the homeowner noticed a significant change recently.

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Basement Repair Production Manager Kevin Steffey and his crew installed over 100 feet of supplemental support beams to restore the garage foundation. From there, they drove 11 Helicast™ Helical Piers into the ground to support and restore the garage's original position.

The customer was happy with the work done and has a supported garage they can depend on and enjoy for many years to come.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team used hydraulic pressure to drive the screw-like pier into the ground. Once the pier reached native, solid soil the hydraulic pressure moves upwards and lifts the structure. This creates an even, stable support for the boathouse.

This owner can now relax knowing the boathouse is safe from sinking.
