Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing a crawl space issue with their home. The area was inadequately supported with old wooden posts, and over time, this can cause settling within the surface and sagging for the floors above. In need of a fixture, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist come out to give them a free, no-obligation estimate for a solution. It was determined that we would install the SmartJack® System along with the crawl space with a supplemental support beam across the sagging floor joists. The results of the project can be seen here. 

These Duluth, MN homeowners reached out to DBS when their basement walls began to crack and bow and the existing support beams were failing. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the property and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work.

Foreman Kevin Steffey and his production crew installed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to immediately stabilize the bowing walls. Over time the PowerBrace® System is tightened by our service team to restore the wall to level.

This basement is now permanently stabilized and safe for the family to enjoy.

The owner of this home has recently been investing a lot of money into their basement over the past few years. They were concerned about protecting the recent projects that they had completed after they had noticed stairstep cracking in the walls that occurred over the years. In hopes of finding a solution to their foundation failure, they reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist, James Miller, went out to the property to conduct a thorough, free, no-obligation estimate and inspection of the situation. Upon completion of examining the basement, and acknowledging the large horizontal cracks running through the walls, James determined that this home would be a great candidate for DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

Foreman, Osia Williams, took on this project along with his crew. Together they successfully installed 5 PowerBrace™ I-beams in the basement of this home to prevent the problem wall from any further cracking or bowing. The home is now permanently stabilized, and the owner can relax comfortably knowing that their previous investments are protected and that their home is sturdy and safe.

The owner of this Duluth, MN home had moved in August of this year and noticed cracks in the foundation upon inspection. They were concerned about protecting their new investment and wanted to make sure the walls were stable for the long run. The owner remembered that someone had referred her to DBS for all things foundation repair, so looking for a solution to her issue, she contacted DBS.

Design Specialist, James Miller, assisted the owner by conducting a free no-obligation estimate. After thoroughly examining the property, James suggested that DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing and SmartJack® Systems would stabilize her foundation and prevent additional cracking and bowing in the walls.

Foreman, Osia Williams, led this project. With the help of his team, they installed 2 SmartJack® Systems and 4 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The owner of this home is now able to rest assured knowing their new home is permanently stabilized for the future, and no further cracking or bowing will occur.
