Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Tower, MN was facing problems with the foundation settlement sinking. They wanted this problem fixed and the structure lifted so they could build a new addition next to the cabin and fix the unfitting doorways.

Design Specialist James Miller assisted this owner in a free, no-obligation estimate in order to decide what solution would be the best for their home. After a careful inspection, James recommended that helical piers be used to lift the foundation back to the original position. 

Foreman Trevor Ingle led a team in the installation of this project. Together, the team installed 8 helical piers in order to stabilize and lift the cabin. These piers are driven into the ground like a screw until it reaches stable, native soil. Using hydraulic power, the pier then pushes against the ground and back to the structure to lift the structure's foundation back to its original position. This will close gaps and cracks, and realign the doors and windows.

This homeowner can now build their new addition knowing their cabin is permanently stable. 

This homeowner in Tower, MN wanted to save their cabin. Instability was taking over, so the homeowner reached out to DBS for help. Design Specialist Mike Horvath visited the home in order to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution. After a careful inspection, Mike recommended our Piering Services.

Foreman Jordan Salmi led the installation of this project with help from a team. These piers are driven into the ground using hydraulic pressure. Once the pier reaches solid, stable soil, the pressure pushes against the ground and causes the piers to raise the structure. This homeowner can now relax knowing their cabin is safe and sound.

This homeowner in Drummond, Wisconsin was concerned about heating in the home. Wanting to stay warm throughout the winter, this homeowner decided to get the home insulated to a high quality. After doing some research, the homeowner reached out to another company to get a quote. However, that company did not respond after the inspection, and the homeowner decided to reach out again, only this time to DBS. Following a brief friendly phone call with the office staff, an appointment was made to have Henrik Makitalo, a system design specialist go out to the home for a free inspection. Henrik was able to give a written estimate that same day and after a comfortable price agreement, a date was promptly set to have a crew come out to perform the installation. The installation of the high-quality spray foam proved to make a difference in the insulation and comfort of the home. Finishing the final step of the smooth process with DBS, the happy owner was able to enjoy a warm home throughout the cold winter.
