Before & After Photos

A home in Bruce, WI was experiencing issues with the support beams in their basement. The original wood beams were starting to fail, causing sagging floors which could lead to further structural damage. In need of a solution, the homeowner had a DBS Design Specialist come out and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the service. It was determined that the basement would need to have the original beams replaced by SmartJack® XL units. These galvanized steel jacks are made to support very heavy loads and structures, making them optimal for foundation support. 

Longtime cabin owners on Lake Leander outside of Britt, MN were concerned over worsening conditions with the cabin's block foundation. Individual blocks were shifting measurably, leaving cracks and gaps that left the crawl space prone to wetness and mold. Looking for a permanent solution, they reached out to DBS for more information about our foundation support systems. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the foundation support work. He determined that the crawl space would have SmartJack® support beams installed to lift and support the sagging crawl space ceiling, as well as helical piers to properly support the weight of the structure.

DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his crew installed 9 helical piers to support 44 feet of additional support beams.

To complete the work in the crawl space, Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew installed 13 SmartJack® supports to replace the rotting wooden beams. Finaly, they completed an encapsulation using a vapor barrier to to keep moisture at bay and protect the home's structural elements going forward.
