Doing research into the various repair options that any given company can offer your Colorado Springs home is always a good strategy. After all, you will want to know exactly how these repairs are protecting your home as well as the pros and cons of each system. The pier systems we at Complete Basement Systems can install underneath your foundation might seem very similar to one another. They perform the same repair function, but differ in their installation and are best suited to different situations. These galvanized steel piers will extend down to the deeper layers of soil underneath your home. These layers are far more compact than the looser soil above, which means that the piers will transfer that strength over to your foundation. Each pier will be attached to the underside of your foundation with a heavy bracket, keeping it stabilized for years to come. These piers also can help close any cracks that have spread along the concrete foundation’s surface. The only difference between helical piers and push piers is how they are installed under your home. Helical piers have spiral attachments along the bottom of the pier that then make them easier for our experts to hydraulically drill into the more compact layers of soil underneath your home. Push piers, on the other hand, are manually pushed into the soil instead. Whichever pier system experts deem the best fit for your home, you can rest assured that your home foundation will stay perfectly stabilized from the soil around it for the foreseeable future.
