Push Pier System Installed Underneath Cracked Foundation of Finlayson, MN Home

The owner of this home in Finlayson, MN had just purchased the property and wanted to take care of the foundation issues as it is a rental property. They reached out to DBS in hopes of finding a solution.

Design Specialist James Miller went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, James generated a quote for our push pier system.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 8 push piers beneath the foundation of the home. Push piers work to lift and level homes from their settled state by being pushed into the ground with heavy machinery until they are secured in stable soil. During installation, the push piers experience massive loads while being installed-- heavier than the structure-- to ensure that once installed, they will not fail.

Now that the home has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind.
