Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN was hoping to remodel their porch but did not want to worry about further foundation settlement ruining the project. Needing a professional and permanent solution, the owner trusted DBS to fix this settlement issue. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the location and conducted a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a close inspection, a quote was offered and our helical piering system was recommended.

A DBS Foreman led a team in the installation of the project. Together, the team used helical piers and drove them into the ground until they reached stable, native soil. The hydraulic pressure then travels upwards and pushes the foundation of the structure back up into its original position. 

This homeowner can now continue their renovation project without worrying about the stability of their home's foundation.

Recently in Saint Paul, MN, a homeowner's garage, a central hub for car repairs, work, and parties, faced foundational issues, risking its safety and functionality. As you can see in the before photo, noticeable tilting and cracking signaled urgent need for repair. We stepped in to secure its future. Installing Push Piers, showcased in the after photo, we brought stability and peace of mind back to this valued space. With DBS, the foundation is set for more memories, secure and sound.

The exterior of this Saint Paul home revealed significant foundation issues, with visible damage to the porch that posed a threat to the rest of the house. At DBS, we knew that immediate action was necessary to prevent further damage. As seen in the 'before' photo, the porch was showing signs of instability. In the 'after' photo, our solution is clear. We installed SmartJack® supports, a main beam, and helical piers to stabilize the porch and protect the home’s foundation from additional harm. These enhancements not only secured the porch but also ensured the overall stability of the structure. With our dedication to long-term solutions and outstanding customer service, this Saint Paul home is now safeguarded against future foundation issues.

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN wanted to address their instability issues in the basement of the home. Bowing walls had become a problem and the owner wanted to fix the issues in order to avoid further damage.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo assisted the homeowner in a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution. After a careful and thorough inspection, Henrik recommended our CarbonArmor® Wall Defense Straps.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this solution with help from a team. These wall defense straps are made out of woven materials that are 10 times stronger than steel! These straps are secured to the wall and prevent any further inward movement. They lay flat against the wall, making them easy to cover to have a discreet solution for the home.

Thanks to DBS Solutions, this homeowner will no longer have to worry about instability in their home. 

This homeowner in Saint Paul, MN wanted to do some home renovation projects upstairs but was unable to until the support problems downstairs were addressed. Failing support beams in the basement were causing the floor above to sink and sag.

A DBS Design Specialist made a trip to the home in order to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a careful inspection, our SmartJack® Support System was recommended.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a team. Together, the team installed the SmartJack® Systems in certain areas of the basement to ensure the weight of the structure was evenly distributed. These jacks are then adjusted in order to raise the floor above back to a level position.

This homeowner can now continue on with their home renovations without needing to worry about instability below.
