Before & After Photos

A cabin owner in Brook Park, MN had concerns about the structure's foundation. The vertical supports in the crawl space beneath the cabin were leaning and causing concern. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS for more information about our foundation support systems. 

DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the Minnesota cabin and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support work. He determined that the crawl space would have helical piers installed to lift and support the home where the foundation was failing. 

DBS Foreman Trevor Ingle and his crew added 24 feet of supplemental support beneath the cabin. From there, they installed 8 helical piers and 4 SmartJack® support beams. To finish the job, they added our SilverGlo™ insulation topped with gravel as frost protection, preventing heaving to the foundation footings as the ground freezes during winter months.

DBS has a variety of foundation support solutions to permanently stabilize homes and cabins like this one.

Homeowners in Centuria, WI had a leaky and wet basement. They knew it was most likely due to cracking in their foundation.  In search of a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS. 

DBS Sales Manager Royce Bunn was the Design Specialist for this project and recommended that a new drain system needed to be installed, as well as substantial support for the shifting basement walls.

A DBS foreman and crew installed a new french drain system and CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier along the perimeter of the basement. This system directs all the moisture to a new SuperSump® Premier Pump System. 

To permanently stabilize the basement walls, 8 steel I-beams were used. This PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System, is meant to support walls from further movement and can be tightented over time, in order to restore the wall to its original position.

The installation was successful and provided a solid solution to the leaking water and foundation cracks.
