Before & After Photos

The owners of this home in Barnum, MN noticed that their windows were hard to open, caused by their sinking crawl space foundation. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution

Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, Henry recommended our SmartJack® System to the homeowner.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed the main steel beam and 11 SmartJack® supports underneath in order to permanently stabilize the foundation. The crew also installed a layer of CleanSpace® water vapor barrier on the ground and applied spray foam to the vertical walls in order to provide some insulation to the space.

Now that the home has been stabilized and insulated, the homeowners can relax with peace of mind and their crawl space is maintenance-free.

Nestled against an Eleva, Wisconsin hill with an ATV trail, the homeowner of this south-facing home was troubled by a moving, cracked foundational wall. Years of searching for a solution only to be met with disappointment, until we stepped in! As you can see from the before photo, the structural integrity was compromised, but our GeoLock™ Wall Anchor system came to the rescue. Notice in the after photo how stabilized and secure the wall appears – a remarkable transformation, providing lasting peace of mind for the homeowner.

We replaced the rotting wood posts in this Sawyer, Minnesota home with Smartjacks. Then encapsulated the floor to protect the dampness and mold smell from entering the house. The homeowner will now have a more comfortable living space with the crawlspace being properly finished.

In Danbury, Wisconsin this customer wanted to create a year-round utility storage space that would be consistently comfortable and could even be heated efficiently. The customer had already known that spray foam insulation would be the best option for his situation and wanted DBS Residential Solutions to complete the work. In order to effectively insulate the building, we sprayed a layer of insulation around the entirety of the building. This customer can now enjoy their space year round. 

A homeowner in Danbury, WI was in need of a solution to a bowing foundation wall they were experiencing in a tuck under storage space of their home. The area was small, and the block wall was beginning to crack and shift. It was decided that the space would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed to ensure proper stability. The photos attached show the finished product of the foundation repair project.
