Sinking Grain Bin Lifted in Browerville, MN
Challenge
A homeowner in Browerville, MN, noticed their grain bin was sinking into the ground. Hoping to find a solution to prevent damage to their crop, the homeowner looked into "grain bin lifting near me". One of the first results to grab their attention was American Waterworks' blog about the Dangers of an Unstable Grain Bin. After reading about the dangers of an unstable grain bin and how we can help, the homeowner knew that we were the right company for their grain bin project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate.
Solution
Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Gary. A few weeks later, Gary traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Gary noted the edge of the grain bin was sinking significantly. To prevent the issue from worsening, Gary suggested securing Helical Piers below the settling foundation. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Gary to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, the crew began by digging the holes to place the Helical Piers. Once the holes were dug, the crew shifted to securing two Helical Piers below the struggling foundation. Once the Helical Piers were placed, the crew covered the holes and cleaned their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
