Foundation Repair Photo Album: Helical Piers Installed for Palisade, MN Cabin to Stabilize the Structure

This cabin in Palisade, MN needed foundation stabilization before the the homeowner was able to move forward with siding and other remodeling projects the intended on. Their old foundation was composed of old wooden posts that had settled into the ground over time, causing some of them to tilt as the cabin shifted. Looking for a solution, they reached out to DBS. Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo went to the cabin to conduct a free, no-obligation estimate for the owner. After a careful inspection, Henrik recommended and quoted our pier system to solve these foundation issues. A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with assistance from a crew. Together they installed 15 helical piers to permanently stabilize the cabin foundation. These piers are driven into the ground until they reach native soil using hydraulic pressure. This allows the hydraulic pressure to push against the soil, cause the structure to raise up and stabilize once again. Each pier is backed with a 25-year transferrable warranty against movement, ensuring that the cabin owner can invest in remodeling projects with peace of mind.
