Foundation Repair Photo Album: Deck Pier Installation in Snow in Duluth, MN
A homeowner in Duluth, MN was having a new deck built for the property, and was in need of strong support for it. They reached out to DBS for a solution to this. After a free, no-obligation estimate, it was concluded that prior to the deck being built, DBS would have a crew install helical piers for stabilization. There piers are embedded within the soil of the area, and are made for anchoring strength as the weight of the deck will be supported by each pier. In order to install these, the ground had to be thawed in order to get rid of the 10 inches of snow that had fallen the day before! Neverthless, the crew did a great job with the outdoor pier installation.
