Before & After Photos

Facing a pressing worry of their home’s foundation wall caving in, our Winter, WI, homeowner knew it was time to seek help. As you can see, the 'before' photo captures this daunting issue, setting a clear task for us at DBS. Our solution? PowerBrace™. This innovative product not merely offers a reprieve but a long-term, strong support for the foundation wall, preventing future woes. The 'after' photo gladly showcases a secured foundation, reflective of our commitment to providing a remarkable service and enduring solution to our clients' significant home concerns.

A homeowner near Port Wing, WI reached out to DBS looking for help with their settled foundation. One of our Design Specialists went to the home to run a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist provided the homeowner with a free quote for our Foundation Repair Service. One of our crews installed our pier system underneath the foundation to provide permanent stability to the home.

When this customer first experienced foundation problems they had a home-made solution that had not helped to permanently stabilize or straighten the wall. We used Geo-Lock anchors to stabilize the wall and straighten it over time. The first photo is mid-way through the project. After another anchor was added and both were tightened, the large crack in the wall closed up. 

When large walls in common spaces are under-insulated it can result in major heat loss in the home. Especially when paired with large windows it is important to retain as much heat as possible to create a comfortable living environment. This customer's entire wall needed to be re-insulated using spray foam insulation which provides the highest r-value in tight spaces and has additional air sealing properties. This large wall is now an asset in this customer's home, retaining heat for a comfortable space and making the property more energy efficient. 

This is a great example of how the use of PowerBraces™ can help straighten and strengthen a wall over time. System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn visited this home and proposed the use of six PowerBraces™ to fix the bowing wall. The homeowner had tried various other solutions over the years to fix the bowing wall, but nothing had helped. They even had another foundation wall installed to help fix the bowing exterior wall. The homeowner now rests easy as the experts at DBS have found a permanent solution to fix this problem.
