Before & After Photos

Facing a daunting challenge, this home in Angora, MN, presented us with severely cracked and bowing basement walls, a distress signal of foundational distress. Notice in the before photo how the integrity of the structure was compromised. Our solution: the GeoLock™ Wall Anchor System, a tailor-made innovation for such formidable problems. The after photo splendidly showcases the transformation – walls realigned and stabilized, promising safety and tranquility for years to come. Through this project, we reaffirmed our commitment to offering remarkable customer experiences and enduring solutions.

Homeowners of this property in Nashwauk, MN noticed that their basement wall had separated from the flooring while they were installing an egress window over the past summer. One of the owners was referred to DBS by a co-worker, who had seen an advertisement for DBS on their local television station. Looking for a permanent solution to their issue, they contacted DBS.

Design Specialist James Miller went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate. After completing a thorough inspection, James informed the homeowners that their home would be a great candidate for DBS's PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System solution. This solution would help to correct the displacement of the wall over time and prevent the wall from additional cracking.

Foreman Osia Williams led the installation for this project, and with the help of his crew, they successfully installed 4 PowerBrace™ I-beams. The I-beams were a great solution to this basement's issue because each I-beam has a bracket at the top that can be tightened during dry seasons in order to help straighten the wall.

The owners can now relax comfortably in their home knowing that their foundation has been permanently stabilized, and they have peace of mind knowing that they don't need to worry about replacing the entire wall anymore.

The homeowner of this cabin in Nashwauk, MN noticed that the floors were sagging and were concerned that they would eventually cave in.

Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went out to the property to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the owner. After completing a thorough inspection, Henrik advised them that DBS has a solution specifically designed to combat sagging floors called the SmartJack® System.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project and with the help of a crew, successfully installed 5 SmartJack® supports.
