Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in Bovey, MN was concerned about large cracks that had appeared over time in their basement wall causing a great degree of bowing. They have installed temporary supports but were getting frustrated with the inconvenience of repeatedly dealing with the issue. Looking for a permanent solution, the owners called DBS.

Design Specialist Rich Johnsen went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate of the issue. After completing the inspection, Rich notified the owners that DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System solution would solve their issues with ease.

Joe Harris was the Foreman assigned to this project and with the help of a crew, together they installed 5 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The I-beams are anchored with brackets at the top that can be tightened during dry periods in an attempt to straighten the wall. DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System guarantees that the wall is protected against additional cracking or bowing. After the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System was installed the home has been permanently stabilized.

The owners of this home will relax comfortably knowing that they will not need to do any more temporary fixes in the future and their home is safe and sturdy for the future.

We went in to fix a wall crack in this Superior, Wisconsin basement. Carbon Armor is 10 times stronger than steel and made specially for basements. If you have any wall cracks, call us today to get your free estimate on getting them fixed!

This nightmare crawl space had constant standing water and was making the whole house smell. After contacting DBS Residential Solutions, our team got out to the home and installed a full CleanSpace Encapsulation System. The new insulated and encapsulated crawl space means no more musty smells and provides the homeowners with year round energy savings!

This foundation was being pushed by the soil on the outside of the home. This caused cracks in the foundation which allowed water to regularly enter the home. We helped to permanently stabilize the foundation and waterproof the basement with Power Braces and our CleanSpace liner on the wall that directs water down to the drain tile. 

This Superior, WI home was built in the 1950's. Homeowners noticed flooding in the basement around 10 years ago. Fearful that the water issue would only get worse, causing mold and other damage to the basement, the homeowner contacted DBS. 

DBS Design Specialist Rich Johnsen visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support and a waterproofing system. Our DBS production team installed our WaterGuard® french drain system and CleanSpace® along the perimeter of the basement. This system directs all the moisture to a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System. 

The installation was successful and provided a solid solution to pooling water in the basement!
