This auto shop had a concrete floor that had sunken over time and was causing issues with water draining into the area equipment becoming unlevel. From the photos shown you can see the white line across the ground layer of concrete blocks where the floor had separated from the wall. In order to be level with the original position this floor needed to be raised back to level with the bottom row of blocks. After injecting our PolyLevel system under the concrete slab we were able to bring the slab back to it original position and level with the bottom row of bricks. With this floor now level the mechanics no longer have to worry about large amounts of water or fluids collecting here and they can set their tools and parts on the floor without worrying about them rolling off.

An Brainerd, MN homeowner was sick of anticipating water and mold in their basement each year, so she contacted DBS to find a permanent solution! One of our design specialists visited the house to provide a free, no-obligation, estimate. They ultimately concluded that adding a WaterGuard sub-floor drainage system and a CleanSpace wall poly system was the best course of action.
One of our foremen led his group in this installation. The team started by removing concrete spots from the house's interior perimeter. Then, to permanently address flooding, they installed our sub-floor drainage system. After that, the team installed our CleanSpace wall barrier to keep water vapor from entering through the foundation walls. This led to the homeowner feeling confident their basement will be dry moving forward!

With the garage floor made of concrete spanning over the basement, and the property located on the Mississippi River with limited access due to a retaining wall drop-off, the challenge lies in stabilizing and lifting the rear wall of the garage.

This homeowner contacted DBS after noticing settling and cracking in the garage rear and basement beneath it. With the property situated by the Mississippi River and an 8-foot drop off with two tiers of retaining walls, this was a result of soft soil. After our design specialist went out to the property, they recommended installing push piers to stabilize the footing and lift the wall.
When our crew went out to the property, they installed 8 push piers with low-profile brackets, and hand-digging pier locations due to grading and retaining wall constraints. After lifting and stabilizing the structure the landscaping was restored and the homeowner was happy with the results.

This project in Brainerd, Minnesota, aimed to address foundation issues in a brick house due to settling. The existing foundation comprised stone and brick, with an 8 ft perimeter crawlspace in the basement, posing challenges for access. The west wall, particularly the bump out, exhibited significant settling, and the house featured several stained glass windows that required a careful and precise approach. The customer's goal was to stabilize the foundation and lift the porch. The solution involved installing 6 helical piers with low-profile brackets: 4 under a porch with a concrete foundation and 2 under a bump out with a stone foundation. Additionally, 8 feet of angle iron spanned the distance of the bump out. A brick pillar in the corner was also adjusted. The customer was satisfied with the results, and the project was able grateful to use our financing program to fund the project.
