1940's Vacation Home in Duluth, MN Gets Foundation Support

Owners of this home in Duluth, MN now use the property for vacationing during the summer months. They have owned the home for close to 50 years but have noticed some dramatic shifting and cracking in the home's foundation. The homeowners learned about DBS via a recommendation from another company and contacted us for a permanent solution. 

DBS Design Specialist Henrik Makitalo visited the home to provide a free, no-obligation estimate. It was determined that a lift procedure was needed to address foundation settlement, as well as some supplemental support. Zach Royer and his production crew installed a 14-ft support beam beneath the home and then drove 2 HelixPro® piers into the ground to support the structure. These piers are driven through the soil, down to the strata layer of rock, providing solid support to the home.

The homeowners were happy with the work done and can now enjoy a safe and supported vacation home for years to come!
