Before & After Photos

This cabin in Hovland, MN had issues with sinking and settling. The owners had purchased this cabin with hopes of finishing the inside. Looking for a permanent solution to their uneven flooring, they called DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for foundation repair. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo has diagnosed structural issues in hundreds of homes and cabins in Minnesota and Wisconsin. After giving a thorough inspection, he suggested our helical piering system for the perimeter of the cabin as a solution to foundation failure.

Foreman Trevor Ingle and his crew led this project, and together they drove 12 helical piers beneath the cabin. This solution allowed the perimeter of the cabin to level and also stabilized the structure to prevent further sinking into the ground. 

This cabin is now permanently stabilized and the owners will be able to complete the interior of their new retreat. 

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.
