Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Aurora, MN had previously noticed cracks in their basement wall and had installed a block column thinking it would stop the wall movement. After realizing this solution is not a permanent fix, the homeowner contacted DBS for a trusted, permanent repair of the wall. 

DBS Design Specialist, Rich Johnsen, visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. Rich then decided the installation of our PowerBrace® system and CarbonArmor® behind the pipes would be the best solution for the permanent stabilization of the wall. CarbonArmor®  is 10 times stronger in tension than steel, designed specifically for basement walls, and the low-profile design makes it perfect to use behind pipes. 

DBS foreman and crew then came out to the house and installed both the PowerBrace® and CarbonArmor® systems to permanently stabilize the wall. The crew also installed  SprayFoam insulation at the rim joists to better insulate the basement. 

The homeowner can now enjoy their basement with peace of mind that their basement wall is permanently stabilized and well insulated.
