Foundation Lift and Concrete Repair in Brainerd, MN
Challenge
A homeowner reached out to DBS after noticing some settling and cracking in the rear part of their garage and the basement underneath it. Since the garage floor is made of concrete that spans over the basement, and the property is located on the Mississippi River with limited access due to a retaining wall drop-off, the challenge is to stabilize and lift the rear wall of the garage. Additionally, they also wanted to have their concrete lifted and cracks sealed to prevent future cracking.
Solution
When our Design Specialist went out of the property, he recommended the installation of push piers the stabilize and lift the rear wall of the garage. Despite challenges in access and landscaping, our crew went out to the property and successfully installed 8 push piers that were 12-50' below the foundation. Once the foundation was lifted and stabilized, they went into the garage and lifted the concrete slab using our PolyLevel® foam and then sealed off the tracks with our NexusPro® sealant. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was happy with the final outcome!
