Foundation Repair Photo Album: Shifting Garage in Angora, MN Stabilized with Push Piers

Homeowners in Angora, MN noticed some shifting in their over the past few years. Living in northern Minnesota, they knew it was due to the soils around the foundation freezing and swelling in the winter and thawing in the springtime. They recently discovered that it was causing issues for their garage slab as well, spurring cracking and sinking in the concrete. After learning about DBS via an ad in the local newspaper, they reached out to us looking for a permanent solution. DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the homeowners to provide a free, no-obligation estimate for the garage repair. It was determined that a lift procedure was needed to address foundation settlement. DBS Foreman Tyler Nacey and production crew dug footings and then used 4 Push Piers to lift and support the structure. These piers are hydaulically driven through the soil, down to the strata layer of rock, providing solid support to the home. From there, our concrete repair crew applied PolyLevel® to the garage, to lift and level the sinking slab, as well as NexusPro™ to fill the cracks in the concrete.  The homeowners were happy with the work done and can now enjoy a safe and supported garage for years to come!
