Failing Foundation Walls Stabilized In Bowing Duluth, MN Basement
These homeowners in Duluth, MN reached out to DBS for help stabilizing their bowing basement walls. They were getting worse with time and the cracks allowed water to enter the home.
DBS Design Specialist James Miller went to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the work. After inspecting the home James recommended installing PowerBrace™ wall support beams to permanently stabilize the bowing foundation. PowerBrace™ support beams immediately stabilize the bowing foundation and are benchmarked yearly by our service team to bring walls back to level. This system is installed with a 75-year fully transferable warranty. This home was repaired by DBS Foreman Nick Burley and his production crew.
This home is now healthy, safe, and comfortable!
Interior and Exterior Waterproofing for Duluth, MN Basement
This Duluth, MN resident had been living in this home for over 50 years. They had some cracking in the foundation, but it hadn't really caused any trouble until about 5 years ago, when cracks in the foundation were starting to worsen. Water was leaking into the basement through the cracked foundation and causing damage to their wall panels.
DBS Design Specialist James Miller visited the home and provided a thorough inspection and a free, no-obligation estimate for the bowing basement walls. He proposed our PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System to permanently stabilize and restore the shifting foundation, as well as both interior and exterior waterproofing systems.
DBS Foreman Zach Royer and his crew first excavated the soil around the home's exterior to prep for a wall straightening procedure. From there, they installed 10 PowerBrace I-beams, connecting them to the basement's concrete floor and ceiling joists. Initial tightening by our crew was done to immediately straighten the wall's position.
After the wall staightening procedure, they added a waterproof membrane to the exterior foundation. This will prevent water from seeping into the foundation wall blocks.
The homeowner can now rest easy knowing that their home is safe and dry!
