Sinking, Crumbling Driveway Bridge in Golden Valley, MN Permanently Stabilized with DBS Helical Piers

The driveway of this home in Golden Valley, MN was built over a bridge. The bridge was showing signs of settling and it was clear that a solution was needed because there were cracks forming.

A DBS Design Specialist went to the home to conduct a free no-obligation estimate for the homeowner. After a thorough inspection, the Design Specialist generated a quote for our helical piers.

A DBS Foreman led the installation of this project with help from a crew. Together they installed 5 cabin piers and 6 deck piers underneath the bridge to permanently stabilize it. Each pier was driven into the ground until it hit soil sturdy enough to support the weight of the structure, ensuring that the driveway will be free of additional movement in the future.

Now that the driveway has been permanently stabilized, the homeowner can relax with peace of mind and not have to worry about their driveway collapsing.
