Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN became concerned when they noticed sagging floors in their home. Knowing its cause is settlement sinking and a lack of stable support beams, they wanted to find a solution. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a careful inspection, a quote was provided for our SmartJack® System. 

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project. The team installed 2 SmartJack® Systems in order to evenly distribute the weight of the structure. These jacks are secured using steel footing. The jacks can be adjusted in order to raise the floor above back into its original position.

This homeowner can now enjoy their level, secure home.

This homeowner contacted DBS after having piers installed earlier this year, expressing concern about further outward bowing of the wall. When our Design Specialist went out to the property, they recommended placing 5 GeoLocks® in the ground outside of the sinking wall to help stabilize the wall by providing GeoLocks® are specifically designed ground stabilization systems engineered to enhance the stability of structures, particularly in areas prone to soil movement or subsidence. By strategically placing five GeoLocks® around the sinking wall perimeter, the structural integrity can be significantly improved. These GeoLocks® act as anchors, penetrating deep into the ground to create a secure foundation, effectively counteracting any potential forces that may cause the wall to shift or sink further.
