Helical Piers Stabilize Home in Gilbert, Minnesota

This home just outside the city of Gilbert had gone without care for some time and the current owner now wishes to restore it to its original glory of when it was their family home. Among the first steps in this process was to re-stabilize the foundation. After years of temporary fixes on the foundation, it was time to install a permanent solution that supported the whole home without need for wood shims, additional bottle jacks, or a newly constructed foundation. By using a combination of helical piers and steel beams we created a solution custom fit to the home that provides even support across the whole home.

This Duluth, MN homeowner was in the process of selling his home. The inspection found that one of the home's foundation walls had become unstable. The homeowner called the experts at DBS to come out and assess the foundation problems the inspector had found. System Design Specialist, Royce Bunn, made the visit to this customer's home and was able to find a quality solution. Shortly after, Foreman, Casey Healey, and his crew began work on installing Powerbraces to help stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. This homeowner was so relieved to have the wall stabilized and have the sale of his home go through.
