Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Duluth, MN wanted to find a permanent and professional solution to address the shifting walls in their basement. They wanted to avoid any further damage to the foundation of the home, so they reached out to DBS for help. 

Design Specialist Zach Guilliams went out to the home to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate for the owner. After a careful inspection, Zach recommended our PowerBrace® Wall Support System. 

Foreman Jordan Salmi led the installation of this project with a crew. These steel i-beam braces stop any further inward movement and can be adjusted to move the wall back to its original position. This is a very effective solution that will prevent wall failure issues. The beams are secure to the ceiling and floor joists to ensure a stable solution.

This homeowner can now relax knowing their home is secure and safe from wall failure!

This homeowner contacted DBS after expressing a desire to level her trailer while retaining the current support structure. Our Design Specialist, Devin Wilson, went out to the property and suggested that we install three SmartJacks® along the existing supports.

Once the crew got out to the property, they started the project off by installing three SmartJacks® that were strategically spaced from the exterior door to the homeowners bedroom and addressing any gaps along the way with spray foam post-lift. After completing the lift procedures and shimming existing supports, the homeowner was satisfied with the outcome!
