Cracked and Crumbling Basement Walls in Cloquet, MN Stabilized with DBS PowerBrace® System

The owner of this home in Cloquet, MN reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution to their cracked basement walls.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, they recommended our closed-cell polyurethane spray foam and PowerBrace® Wall Bracing System.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. The crew installed polyurethane spray foam over the walls of the home in order to provide some insulation to the area because the walls were so severely cracked. They installed the PowerBrace® System to provide permanent stabilization to the walls. The i-beams are anchored to the concrete slab in the basement as well as the rim joists of the home to ensure that the PowerBrace® System can hold steady.

Now that the repairs in the basement have been made, the homeowner can relax more comfortably in their home without worrying about an unsafe basement.
