Boathouse Stabilization in Cook, MN
This boathouse in Cook, MN needed to be permanently stabilized. The foundation had slowly shifted causing damage to the walls of the building. After the homeowner called DBS, Design Specialist, Royce Bunn made a trip out to the building and did a thorough inspection. He explained to the owner that the best solution would be to install helical piers to permanently stabilize the foundation. Royce came with a written proposal that day and after it was signed, a date was set to have the production crew perform the installation. Foreman, Kevin Steffey and his crew came out to the building and installed the helical piers. Once the installation was complete, the owner was able to safely spend time in his boathouse.
SmartJack® XL System Installed in Cook, MN
A homeowner in Cook, MN was experiencing some issues with the basement of their home and the stability of the walls and ceiling. Over time, the weight against the structure had caused the walls to start bending, and the floor above to start sagging. In need of a solution, they had a Design Specialist come out and offer a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair. It was determined that our crew would go in and install a set of PowerBrace™ units as well as a SmartJack® system with a supplemental beam to support the floor above.
