Sinking Deck Footings Fixed with Helical Piers in Lakeville

If your deck has started to sink, tilt, or feel unstable underfoot, the problem almost always starts at the footings. Old concrete footings shift, heave, and fail over time - especially in Minnesota where freeze-thaw cycles put serious stress on anything buried in the ground. It's a common problem, and unfortunately a lot of homeowners just live with it.

We don't patch the problem. We fix it. Helical piers are a permanent solution that goes way deeper than any surface-level concrete footing ever could. We screw them directly into stable soil below the frost line, then attach a steel bracket at the top that the post sits on. No more movement. No more settling. Solid support that lasts.

Here's what the work actually looks like on the ground. The old footings come out. We drive the helical pier shaft down using hydraulic equipment, section by section, until we hit the load-bearing resistance we need. Once it's set, we install the bracket cap and the post gets transferred onto it. Clean, precise, and built to hold.

We're a local Lakeville company, and this is the kind of work we do every day. Decks, porches, anything that's sitting on footings that have given up. If you've been putting off dealing with a deck that isn't level anymore, helical pier installation is the fix that actually holds up long-term - no concrete to crack, no footings to heave.
