Norwood Young America

Helical piles in Norwood Young America, Minnesota

Norwood Young America lies west of the Twin Cities, and the state guide stresses how Minnesota's glacial history leaves soft, wet or variable soil. The Minnesota DNR describes the former Lake Agassiz bed as a mix of sandy deposits, loamy till, and clay and silt, and soil like that is a common reason foundations settle.

Frozen ground also heaves shallow footings. Typical jobs here include deck and pergola footings, farm and commercial solar arrays, and underpinning for settled foundations. Residential work follows the 2018 International Residential Code as amended in Minnesota Rules chapter 1309.
