Before & After Photos

In Ely, MN these homeowners were facing support problems in their basement. They had failing support beams which caused the home to be unlevel. They decided to pair up with DBS to find the perfect solution for their home.

Design Specialist James Miller assisted these homeowners in a free no-obligation estimate to figure out what solution would best fit their needs. After careful inspection, it was decided that a SmartJack support system would be the best solution.

Foreman Trevor Ingle led the installation of this project, along with a team. Together they installed 10 SmartJack systems and 2 supplemental beams in the basement of the home. These steel jacks are connected with steel tubing and brackets that allow the system to evenly distribute the weight of the structure. The SmartJacks, along with the new supplemental I beams, stabilize the structure and can reposition it back to its original position.

These homeowners can now relax knowing their home is stable and secure.
