There are a variety of options for fixing your foundations.
Solutions that DON'T work: total foundation replacement, concrete underpinning and concrete piers.
Solutions that DO work: Steep push piers and helical piers.
Steel push piers are made of steel and driven deep into the soil to the bedrock. They can be installed on the inside or outside of your foundation. They lift your home back to their original position, closing cracks and improving the operation of doors and windows. First, we remove the soil from the area where the pier will be driven. Then, a heavy-duty steel bracket is installed below and against your foundation's footing. Steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket to the bedrock or another stable layer in the soil. This system allows the weight of the home to be transferred through the piers to the competent soil below, and a lift can be attempted to bring the home back toward its original position. Once the stabilization and lift are completed, the soil is backfilled and the home is permanently stabilized in its new position.
Helical piers are another peering system that can be installed from the inside or outside and has the same advantages that the push pier system has. First, the soil is removed from the area where the helical pier will be installed until we reach proper depths and capacities. We position heavy-duty foundation brackets below the footing to transfer the wights of the home through the helical piers to deep and competent soils. This system also lifts the home towards its original position and solve other issues caused by settlement.
