Before & After Photos

This Golden Valley, MN home had a walkout basement that was also connected to their garage. This family had been monitoring a foundation issues for a few years, and when they noticed the issue getting worse, they contacted DBS in search of a solution.

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation repair work. He diagnosed the foundation as bowing - the common result of inward pressure cause by soil over time.

A DBS Foreman and crew installed 3 GeoLock™ Wall Plates and Earth Anchors to the failing foundation wall. This system uses the heavy-duty anchors in and connects them to plates on the wall interior wall. Connected with long, galvanized rods, these anchors are tightened to straighten the wall over time and provide maximum support. Our team also added 4 Push Piers inside the garage to immediately lift the sinking structure.
