Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Duluth, MN was concerned about the basement foundation wall. They had noticed some stair-step cracking and movement along the wall, that had taken place over time. Wanting to prevent the problem from getting even worse, the homeowner reached out to DBS after doing some research online. Following a friendly phone call with the office staff, an appointment was made to have System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn go out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. At the appointment, Royce performed a thorough inspection and explained to the homeowner what the issue was and how it should be resolved. Royce explained that the best possible solution would be to install Push Piers to stabilize the foundation. These piers would help lift the home and bring it back to its original position using a tightening kit. The homeowner asked a few clarification questions and then both came to a comfortable price agreement. A date was set to have Primary Foreman, Kevin Steffey and his crew go out to the home to complete the installation. The homeowner no longer has to worry about the unstable foundation wall, now that there are Push Piers stabilizing it.
