1. A pier support system that comprises:
a base pier column,
a single upper pier column fixedly attached to the base pier column, where a threaded receptor nut is fixedly attached to one end of the upper pier column,
a support plate attached by a permanent direct contact connection to the single upper pier column, the support plate extending laterally from the single upper pier column,
the single upper pier column passing through the support plate, where the one end of the single upper pier column extends above the support plate and a second other end of the single upper pier column extends below the support plate,
an adjustment mechanism comprising a threaded member and a threaded adjustment nut fixedly attached to a distal end of the threaded member, where the other end of the threaded member is threaded into the threaded receptor nut of the single upper pier column, and
a lifting plate having a socket fixedly attached to the plate, where the socket is configured to receive the distal end of the threaded member,
wherein the support plate is configured so that at least one jack may be positioned on the upper horizontal surface of the support plate such that the jack may be extended vertically to contact and apply a vertical lifting force to the lifting plate, the lifting plate thereby contacting and applying the vertical lifting force to a structure.
