Bowing Basement Wall in Eveleth MN

Kris W. was growing worried about the bowing walls in her basement. She was experiencing stair stepping cracks as well as a straight line bow all the way across her basement wall. Some of the cracks were an inch wide. After doing some on-line research she found DBS Residential Solutions. Kris called them up and scheduled an appointment that same day.  

 

After working out a couple of different proposals, Kris found the one that worked best with her plans for her basement and fixing her problem. DBS Residential Solutions installed PowerBraces and joist reinforcements across two of her basement walls.

Kris now has the peace of mind that those walls will no longer be moving in on her and her foundation is stable once again.  DBS Residential Solutions is glad they could help one more person enjoy their home once again!

Basement Leaks and Cracks in Biwabik

We had received a call from a homeowner in Biwabik, MN who was noticing leaks in their basement and cracks all over the place in their basement. The homeowner knew they had clay around their home and understood they would need a serious solution to the problems they faced rather than a temporary fix. 

We are never happy to hear about homeowners facing problems, but we do like knowing that we can definitely help homeowners get peace of mind and become more comfortable in their home when they're facing problems like this. We sent our experienced Basement Specialist Rich to assess the situation and propose a permanent solution. Rich identified issues with the foundation and where the water was entering the home. Before proposing a solution he also took into consideration what outcome the homeowner was looking for and what constraints the home and property might have on a solution. In the end, it was determined that PowerBraces for foundation support and a new drain tile with CleanSpace wall matting would be most appropriate for the situation. The PowerBraces provide ample support for the wall and many homeowners enjoy the fact that they can be installed without the need for an external dig-up around the outside of the home. Meanwhile the new drain tile with wall matting helps to direct incoming water into a sump pump and away from the home. With our unique system we are able to offer a TripleSafe Sump Pump which works well with our system to drive water away from the home with additional back up pumps in the case of excess incoming water or power outage. 

Our foremen make sure to stay in communication with the homeowner throughout the project to ensure everything is being completed in accordance with their wishes and expectations. In the end, we were able to provide this homeowner with peace of mind in the form of a waterproofed basement with structurally sound walls.

Push Piers Used to Raise and Repair Foundation in Angora, MN

When we warn our customers about the dangers of the cracks they see forming in their foundations there are several different problems we are trying to help prevent from happening to them. We have seen blocks or pieces fall apart from the foundation.  Foundations that sink so far into the ground the soil outside the home is visible from the basement, and foundation walls that have collapsed completely because nothing was done after the warning signs were observed. Thankfully, in this situation, the foundation wall had not collapsed completely, but what did happen was similarly concerning. The conditions of the soil underneath one section of this home had caused a large corner of the foundation to sink into the ground which created a gap in the foundation several inches wide. Gaps in the foundation like this can make the home less efficient by allowing unconditioned air into the home and by allowing harmful gasses like Radon to easily enter the home. The homeowner understood they were facing a serious issue and wanted to do their homework before committing to a solution. He researched these types of issues and after dismissing several temporary fixes, like patching the wall, he understood he would need to address the underlying problem, the soil, if he wanted to fix it once and be done worrying about it. He found out about the permanent solutions that DBS Residential Solutions installs in their customer's homes and immediately signed up for a free estimate. After confirming with our Foundation Repair Specialist that the Push Piers would be the optimal solution for this scenario he agreed to have our crew come out to his home to install our solution. With just a little excavation our crew exposed the base of the foundation and drove our piers deep down into the earth beside the foundation. The push piers joined the base of the foundation and were adjusted to provide the necessary support for this home without an issue. This foundation is now permanently supported and DBS has made another family home a bit safer.

When this homeowner first met our Specialist Henrik he mentioned to Henrik that he had a problem with several sections of his concrete driveway sinking into the ground. This had caused significant differences between adjoining slabs of concrete. He wanted the problem fixed and knew Henrik would give him an exact estimate on what it would take to fix the issue. After seeing other examples of the PolyLevel system being used for several similar projects that DBS had done the homeowner was ready to become a customer of DBS. Before long, the PolyLevel crew at DBS was at this customer's home making the adjustments necessary to provide a consistent level driveway to the customer. With this project now complete DBS has created another happy customer and made another small improvement to the Duluth community.

DBS Finds the best solution to a potential safety hazard in Iron, MN

The owner of this Iron, MN home noticed their driveway had begun to sink over time. Knowing that this could cause a potential accident, he decided it was time to find someone to fix it. Upon some research, he learned of the possible solutions DBS had to fix his sinking driveway.  He quickly gave our office a call and set up an appointment to have a system design specialist make a trip out to the home for a free no obligation estimate. During the inspection, the homeowner was able to ask the specialist all the questions he had. Once all concerns were addressed, a date was set to have DBS’ installation team come and solve the problem. A mudjacking technique was used and produced a leveled cement slab. This homeowner could rest easy now knowing that his concrete slab was no longer a safety hazard. In a follow-up call a few years after the project was complete, the homeowner expressed that the solution had stood the test of time and he was very impressed. DBS is proud to provide a solution so our customer no longer has to worry about people tripping or damaging vehicles from the uneven concrete.

Duluth, MN basement walls stabilized with twenty PowerBraces

DBS' Appointment Center Representative, Emily Kinchloe, was able to help set up an appointment for a free, no-obligation estimate for this Duluth, MN homeowner. Shortly after, Henrick Makitalo, a system design specialist, made the trip out to evaluate the home. Upon inspection, he found that the foundation walls were bowing and needed to have additional support added to prevent further damage. His proposal included the installation of twenty PowerBraces. These PowerBraces were then installed by Foreman, Casey Healy, and his crew. The customer was so pleased with the quality of work performed by DBS, they want to continue to work on improving their basement. In the next year, the homeowners are looking to finish off their basement. Knowing that the foundation walls are permanently stabilized, they want to finish the basement so they can have more usable space in their home. DBS is on the top of their list for the next project!

There was also concern that the sunken slab would be a tripping hazard.

Cabin Foundation Leveling in Gilbert, MN

A homeowner in Gilbert, MN reached out to DBS regarding a foundation problem. Their log cabin needed to be leveled out as the foundation was starting to settle. The cabin was built on concrete block, and the slab had to be supported by something more than just the soil. DBS sent out a Design Specialist to inspect the cabin and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the owner. The solution to the settling log cabin was to install the Supportworks Push Pier system. The solution to the settling log cabin would be to install the Slab Pier System. These are specially designed Galvanized Steel piers that can stabilize and restore concrete slabs. They are driven deep into the earth, and bypass soil that is not fit to support the weight of a slab. This provides the concrete to be supported by strong, competent earth, and also the opportunity to be lifted back to the original position. The Supportworks Slab Pier System is a trustworthy solution to fixing a settling foundation, and can provide a more comfortable environment for your home!

City Concrete Repair in Floodwood, MN

An individual in Floodwood, MN called DBS regarding a large concrete repair project. This was not just one house needing the service, but instead the city of Floodwood needing their sidewalks to be leveled. This is an issue that will always arise with concrete slabs. Over time, old concrete will start to crack and bring in unwanted material (soil, gas, etc.). This material will then cause the slabs to shift out of place and will end up needing to be reapired to ensure safety. In this case, Design Specialist Royce Bunn went out to Floodwood to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the concrete repair service. Instead of traditional mud jacking, it was proposed that PolyLevel® could get the job done. This is a polymer foam injection that is planted beneath the concrete slab. Once injected, the foam quickly expands below the surface and forces the concrete to rise up and level out. This is a fast and efficient solution to lifting concrete slabs, and will help keep concrete surfaces safer for all individuals. 

SaniDryâ„¢ Installation in Britt, MN

A homeowner in Britt, MN reached out to DBS with a concern over their crawl space area. During the humid season, the crawl space would have moisture seeping through it, causing a moldy smell which would spread throughout the home. This can be a big issue, because not only does it smell bad, but mold also carries health concerns. During wet and warm seasons, this problem constantly appears. 

A Design Specialist went out to the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the service. It was proposed that the small crawl space area would need the installation of the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier. This product works wonders, and is the most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier there is. It's small, compact size makes it a good fit for even the smallest of spaces, and is able to move over 300 cubic feet of dry air every minute. These are just a few of the great features of the SaniDry™. With the assistance of DBS and this product, any hot or humid area within a home can become a more dry and comfortable environment!

Foundation Support Job in Makinen, MN

A home in Makinen, MN had an issue with the foundation. The basement wall had started to cave in and this would cause water to leak slowly in from the outside. This can be a major problem that has lasting effects from both the bowing wall and leaking water damage. A proper solution was much needed for the homeowner. They were able to reach DBS and have a Design Specialist come out to provide a free, no-obligation for the service. It was concluded that the foundation wall would need the installation of the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System. This service is comprised of galvanized steel earth anchors that are embedded into undisturbed soil on the outside of a foundation wall. The anchor is then attached to one end of a steel rod which connects with another anchor installed on the interior portion of the wall. Once the ground is backfilled, it creates a force that helps pull the wall and stabilizes it from any futher bowing movements. The GeoLock® Wall Anchor System is a certified solution to foundation problems, and can prevent future issues you may find with damaged walls.

GeoLock® Installation in Meadowlands, MN

A homeowner in Meadowlands, MN reached out to DBS regarding a common issue amongst older basements. They reported one side of their foundation wall was beginning to bow from the bottom up. It was apparent that the soil on the exterior part of the wall was settling quite a bit, and forcing the wall to cave in. The issue needed to be resolved in order to prevent further damages.

DBS sent out a Design Specialist to inspect the area and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the services. It was concluded that the foundation wall would need to have GeoLock® installed to help give the wall support and prevent it from moving in any further. The GeoLock® Wall Anchor System is comprised of galvanized steel earth anchors that are embedded into undisturbed soil outside of the wall, then attached to a steel rod that connects with another anchor on the interior portion of the wall. Once the ground is filled back in, the soil creates a pulling force which stabilizes the wall, and can even move it back to its original position. This service can support any damaged foundation wall, and will help prevent further issues in the long run. 

Unique PowerBraceâ„¢ Design Installation in Alborn, MN

A homeowner in Alborn, MN was experiencing a common foundation problem found in older basements. The foundation walls had started cracking, and was causing a shift in the wall, which can be troublesome for the home. In need of a solution, the homeowner reached out to DBS to try and find a fix to their foundation problem. DBS sent out a Design Specialist to inspect the area and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the wall project. It was concluded that the area would need to have the PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed to ensure proper wall support. However, there was a unique catch to this project. One area of the wall was cracking below the staircase, and stood only about 4 feet high. This meant that the crew would have to cut the PowerBrace™ in half, and create an "H" design with a separate brace in order to fit in the area. A photo of how exactly the design looked will be attached. Though it took some extra time, the crew was able to follow through with the installation, and the results turned out great. With the help of DBS, this homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable environment in their basement!

Nasty Crawl Space Transformed in Saginaw, MN

In Saginaw, MN, a homeowner was experiencing troubles with their crawl space. The area was dirty, cold, and overall irritating. Certain parts of the crawl space would allow air to leak through in to the home, and as you can imagine, this became very cold and took a lot of energy to combat. Aside from that, the crawl space would also become quite humid in the warm months, and the moisture would cause a foul moldy smell to run through the inside. In need of a solution, they reached out to DBS. After thorough inspection, it was concluded that the crawl space would need to be fully encapsulated with CleanSpace® vapor barrier in order to properly insulate the area, and to keep it waterproof as well. Cleanspace® is 100% waterproof plastic barrier that is perfect for unfinished basements and crawl space areas. This project turned out to be a great success, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more comfortable living environment. 

Foundation Walls in Duluth, MN Receive Maximum Support

In Duluth, MN, a homeowner was experiencing weakened structural support along their basement and garage walls. The walls needed proper stabilization in order to maintain form, and to prevent future damage to the home. In need of a solution, the homeowner reached out to DBS, and was able to have a Design Specialist come out and provide a free-no obligation estimate for the foundation service. It was decided that the home would need a considerable amount of CarbonArmor® units installed, along with two PowerBrace™ units, to effectively maintain these walls. These products work in similar ways. Both are installed vertically along a foundation wall, and provided supportive strength to the inside of the wall to ensure stability. The products are tough, powerful, and will get the job done. With the help of DBS, the homeowner can now experience a more comfortable basement and garage area.

Wall Stabilization in Babbitt, MN

DBS received a call that a home in Babbitt, MN knew they were having trouble with their foundation, but they didn’t know what was wrong with it. We booked a free, no-obligation visit to the home with a design specialist to take a closer look at the problem. The basement in the home had a bowing wall, that had been leaning and looked unsupported. The walls were leaning and it would need to be straightened overtime, also stabilizing the walls to make sure the home was safe for the family.

There was a large crack in the concrete wall that may have contributed to the unsupported basement foundation, but DBS came up with a proposal to fix all the problems in the home. We recommended that the family has PowerBrace™ Wall Bracing System installed in the home to make sure the walls are fully supported into the future, this would also help to straighten the walls over time, as the walls would slowly take the straight shape of the brace system. If your home has leaning walls, cracks, or you’re noticing foundation problems, call DBS to take a closer look!

CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier Installed in Canyon, MN

A homeowner in Canyon, MN, reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. the crawl space was wide open, and very dirty. The openness allows for cold air to access the home, and well as water and moisture during warm seasons. The homeowner was hoping to have the entire area sealed to prevent any further issues. After reaching DBS, a Design Specialist went to inspect the home and provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the service. It was decided that the crawl space would need to be encapsulated with CleanSpace®, a vapor barrier that covers the entirety of the crawl space. Along with that, a small portion of spray foam insulation would be added as well. The CleanSpace® covering holds back water vapor and provides a cleaner look and feel to the area it is installed within. The results of the project turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more comfortable crawl space, and overall home environment, for years to come.

Wet Garage in Hoyt Lakes, MN

Homeowners in Hoyt Lakes, MN called DBS with a concern for the concrete in their garage. The cracking in the concrete had gradually gotten worse and throughout the winter, water had also become a problem in this area. The cracking had caused the water to pool and collect in the middle. DBS sent our design specialist, Henrick Makitalo to the home to create a solution for the problem. When Henrick looked into the area, he came up with a proposal quickly, he saw that the homeowners needed installation of our PolyLevel® service to bring the concrete back to its original place. We would lift and level the concrete, also putting PolyLevel® into the center of the garage to prevent pooling of water. Below is a photo of the concrete prior to production, if this looks like a problem in your house, call DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate!

Home Stabilization Project in Makinen, MN

A cabin in Makinen, MN needed maintenance to make sure the home was stable. DBS sent a design specialist to see what work was needed to create a safe environment in the home. DBS concluded that we needed to remove the existing structure of the home and install our own pier system into the foundation, the goal being to restore the sinking floors, and home back to its original placement. Our installation works to make sure all our clients live in safe, stable homes and cabins, DBS installed helical pier stabilization system and lifted the foundation for our clients. We’ve included a pre-production photo of the cabin that needed to be repaired. In the photos, you can see the way that the flooring is sagging beneath the foundation.

Basement Waterproofing and Floor Stabilization Project in Duluth, MN

DBS worked on a home that was having trouble with water damage and unstable floors in their basement. The basement required a new, TripleSafe™ pump system to manage the water and DBS also installed a back-up pump system to ensure the home stays dry. We put a waterproofing system around the perimeter of the basement to keep the water out of the home. We also installed 4 inches of concrete over the existing concrete to create a stable environment without demolition of the house. The concrete slab was stabilized using PolyLevel® and NexusPro™ joint sealant before adding the drainage system to the home. This will ensure the home stays dry and the floors are stabilized to create a safe environment. Below are before and after pictures of the concrete laid in the basement.

Park Point Waterproofing in Duluth, MN

The Park Point area in Duluth, MN is a hot spot for basement water issues in the area, and DBS has provided many services there for several years. One particular homeowner reached out to DBS regarding the specially designed Park Point Waterproofing System. In the fall of 2018, a series of storms hit the Duluth area, and heavily effected Park Point and the homes lakeside. DBS set up a strategic system that will benefit the Park Point homes in need of waterproofing. One big component calls for raising the basement flooring a substantial amount by pouring new concrete on top of the existing material. That is exactly what the crew provided for this home, as shown in the photo attached. The crew laid a dimple draignage matting above the original floor for water and mold prevention, then proceeded to pour the fresh concrete on top of these layers. Aside from the new concrete, there are several other products that are recommended for the waterproofing system for Park Point. This can include: TripleSafe™ or SuperSump®, WaterGuard®, and SaniDry®. All are fantastic products, and ideal for any basement waterproofing system.

Park Point Waterproofing in Duluth, MN

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing several issues with the basement of their home. The wood posts that were supporting the floor above were beginning to fail, causing the floor to sag. Aside from that, the home was experiencing issues with leaking water in the basement. Homes in the Park Point area are particularly susceptible to basement flooding due to rising water levels and being low to the ground. In need of a solution, the homeowner reached out to DBS. After a thorough inspection, it was determined that the homeowner would need to have several SmartJack® XL units installed to fix the sagging floors. These jacks are comprised of galvanized steel that can support massive loads, which makes them ideal for structural support. As for the waterproofing portion, DBS would have to carry out the traditional Park Point waterproofing plan. This consists of placing dimple drainage matting along the existing basement floor, then pouring a fresh new layer of concrete on top of that to elevate the surface. A TripleSafe™ sump pump was also put in place to help extract any excess water collected within the sump pit. This water would follow through a discharge line to an appropriate exterior location. The overall results of the project turned out great, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable basement environment. 

Home Waterproofing in Duluth, MN

DBS worked on a waterproofing project in Duluth, MN that required several steps in the waterproofing process. This job required the installation of dimple drainage between old and new concrete, then we installed our TripleSafe™ sump pump system. Then we used TripleSafe™ sump liners and an UltraSump® battery back-up to keep the system pumping and maintained. We also put in a WaterWatch® alarm to make sure the basement is staying dry. The crew put in IceGuard® to prevent floods from clogged or frozen discharge lines. Our last step and the picture we’ve included shows the two discharge lines installed to bring water out of the home.

Strong Foundation Support Installed in Duluth, MN

A homeowner in Duluth, MN was experiencing some issues with their basement which was in the process of being finished. The walls needed to be straightened out in a few spots, as they were lacking overall support. In search of a solution, they reached out to DBS and had a Design Specialist come to visit. After a thorough inspection, as well as a free, no-obligation estimate, it was determined that the walls would need to have a combination of GeoLock™ and WallDefense straps installed to provide optimal stabilization. GeoLock™ is comprised of steel anchors that are embedded below the ground on the outer portion of the wall and connected to an inner anchor using a steel rod below the ground. This creates a pulling force that works to straighten the walls and keep them supported. WallDefense works similarly as our CarbonArmor® system would. These straps are installed vertically along the wall to help keep it stabilized. The walls were already finished with drywall, so in order to successfully perform the installation, sections of the wall needed to be stripped down to the original concrete blocks. The installation was a success, and the homeowner can now enjoy a more safe and comfortable basement environment.  

Waterproofing and PolyLevel® Installation in Duluth, MN

This means that the home will be better protected from unwanted air flow in harsh Duluth weather. This SprayFoam seals of air infiltrations and creates a moisture barrier to keep your home warm and dry in colder seasons and cool in warmer seasons. 

These homeowners were happy with the project and can now continue to build their new home with confidence that they home will stay well insulated and dry.

Cabin Encapsulated with DES and DBS Solutions in Side Lake, MN

The homeowners of a newly renovated cabin in Side Lake, MN needed some assistance with its crawlspace. As the owers were planning to completely remodel the cabin to turn it into a year round home, the homeowners trusted DBS to help find a long-lasting, effective solution for their cabin. Their goal was to be able to feel safe and happy, knowing that their cabin would keep them warm year round. 

 

One of our design specialists, Rich Johnsen, assisted the homeowners in a free, no-obligation estimate. After completing a careful inspection, they recommended the owner have TerraBlock™ insulation and SprayFoam installed to fix the insulation problems the home was facing. Knowing that the soil was sandy, the homeowner and Rich came to an agreement that a sump was not necessary. Therefore, a Smartdrain would need to be installed under the bath/kitchen area. In addition, he would like two entrances into the crawlspace. 

 

One of our foreman, Glen Olcott, led the team in this installation. They began by installing TerraBlock™ bottom crawlspace insulation to stop any heating and moisture issues coming from the floor of the crawlspace. Then they used DES SprayFoam insulation to coat the walls of the crawlspace to avoid any airflow sneaking into the area. Finally, the team used CleanSpace for a clean finish and to allow the space to be used as a safe, dry storage area. Last they added the Smartdrain system to deal with any excess water from the house. With these solutions, this crawlspace is now clean, warm, and ready for use if needed. After communicating with the owners and walking through the installation, the cabin/homeowners were able to walk away happy with the quality of work done on their newly finished cabin. DBS strives to leave each customer with a lasting WOW! experience According to this job, we were able to do just that.

Stabilizing a Cabin Using Piering System in Tower, MN

This homeowner came to DBS to save their unstable and sinking cabin. Knowing they wanted to utlilize their cabin for year round festivities, they wanted to have peace of mind that it was in stable condition. One of our Design Specialists, Mike Horvath, visited the home in order to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate to find the best solution.

For this job, the piers are driven into the ground using hydraulic pressure. Once the pier reaches solid, stable soil, the pressure pushes against the ground and causes the piers to raise the structure. This allowed stability and true level thoughout the entire of the cabin. After thorough communication on how the job went, the cabin owners were able to use their cabin year round without any thought of their foundation crumbling or their floors sagging.

Earth Anchors for a home in Mountain Iron, Minnesota

This Mountain Iron, MN family hired DBS to help with their home's deteriorating walls and water issues. They wanted peace of mind and didn't want to worry about the walls anymore. We had to deal with obstacles like heating, plumbing, and electrical on the north wall, so we used earth anchors to stabilize it. There was also a private electrical line between the house and shed that we had to work around.

To keep the basement dry, we installed water guard on the south wall, where they were getting water, and replaced the sump basin with a double safe configuration. We made sure to keep the existing setup with a 4-inch hose on top of the ground but had to install a new eject line from the sump, up the wall, and an ice guard for protection. Then we transitioned to the 4-inch flex hose.

For the block walls, we drilled weeps to prevent them from filling with water. In the end, we installed 30 feet of water guard and a single safe with an ultra sump, giving them the peace of mind they were looking for.

Concrete Repair in Chisholm, MN

This customer contacted DBS after noticing that their stairs were settling on the outside of their house and on the sidewalk leading out to the driveway. Due to their age, the uneven concrete steps were a concern for them, especially during winter. When our Design Specialist, Jake Thomas, went out to the property, he recommended installing PolyLevel® underneath the concrete of both the sidewalk and the stairs to even out the concrete. PolyLevel uses high-density polyurethane foam to fill voids and stabilize and lift sinking concrete slabs. The expanding properties of the two-part formula allow for accurate leveling of the slab. This makes the concrete lift a waterproofed repair as well so it is much more permanent than mudjacking and other common concrete repair methods.
