Before & After Photos

The owner of this home in McGregor, MN had just purchased the property for guests and family to stay at when they come to visit when they noticed that the foundation issues needed to be addressed. The walls in the basement were bowing inward and there was shearing evident at the base of the walls as shown in the before picture. Looking for a solution, the owners reached out to DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James recommended our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 15 PowerBrace™ i-beams along the basement walls. Each PowerBrace™ is affixed to the rim joists of the home with a steel bracket and bolted to the concrete slab to ensure permanent stabilization. The system is backed with a 75-year transferrable warranty against movement.

Now that the home has been stabilized, the homeowners will be able to share the new property with their guests without needing to worry about their safety.

We recently took on a challenging job in McGregor, MN, transforming a tight, difficult-to-access crawl space at a newly bought family cabin into a cozy, year-round retreat. The before photo reveals the tough conditions we faced, making it hard to navigate and work within the space. This was causing problems for the family who dreamed of renovating and enjoying their cabin all year. By employing our first-rate solution, the SmartJack® system, noticeable in the after photo, we not only stabilized and leveled the foundation but made sure the space was prepped for insulation, ensuring that keeping water on through the winter is no longer a pipedream. It's all part of our mission to deliver remarkable and enduring solutions, turning dreams of the perfect family getaway into reality.

DBS received a call from a home in Cohasset, MN that our clients were looking to sell their home, but they had been told that their walls and foundation were unstable. The homeowners needed to move forward quickly with repair to stabilize their walls. DBS sent our Design Specialist, Kevin Steffey, to the home to create a proposal and fix the problem.

Kevin recommended fixing the walls by installing PowerBrace™ service into the home for support, then by using Joist Reinforcement as needed to support the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System. We would also work to remove the old, unstable, unnecessary drywall throughout the process of repairing the walls.
