Before & After Photos

Facing the challenge of three cracked and bowing basement walls, a homeowner in Cook, MN, turned to us for expertise. As showcased in the before photo, these issues threatened the structure's integrity. Leveraging our EverBrace®  and GeoLock™ Wall Anchor systems, visible in the after photo, we provided a durable and reliable solution. Through our approach, we restored not just the basement’s stability but peace of mind for the homeowner, exemplifying our commitment to delivering exceptional service and lasting results.

This dirt crawl space was causing the home to lose energy at an alarming rate, creating cold floors and an uncomfortable environment. When this area became humid it also led to musty smells in the home. The homeowner did not want his visitors to be met with these odors as they came in the door, so he took action to make a change. In order to solve these problems, our specialists assessed the situation and prescribed a solution to permanently fix the issues experienced. The solution in this situation was to use our Clean Space matting to encapsulate the crawl space. This was paired with our silver glow foam board insulation and spray foam insulation to properly air seal the crawl space and create a comfortably insulated home. 

A homeowner in Mountain Iron, MN was experiencing foundation issues with the basement of their home. The old concrete blocks were beginning to crack and shift, and it was starting to be a potential problem. In need of a solution, the homeowner reached DBS. After thorough inspection, it was decided that the wall would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed in order to properly provide maximum support. The reults turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable basement environment. 

A home in Mountain Iron, MN had a basement wall that was starting to cave inwards, and this concerned the owner. They had a Design Specialist visit their home and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the wall repair service. It was determined that the wall would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed along it to provide maximum support for the structure, with the hopes of eventually having the wall shift back to its original position. 

These homeowners from Mountain Iron, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing the lower level of their single-story home. This home was built in the 1950's and the foundation was cracked, bowing, and approaching failure when the customer called. 

DBS Design Specialist, Henrik Makitalo went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. Henrik measured the structural damage and created a custom plan to stabilize the cracked cinderblock foundation walls. PowerBrace™ wall support beams were recommended to permanently stabilize this foundation. No external excavation is required with this stabilization system and progress is benchmarked on an annual basis to correct sheering. 

DBS Foreman Osia Williams worked hard with his production crew to install 13 PowerBrace™ wall support beams. This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable. This project was installed with a 75-year nationally backed warranty!
