Abstract:
Methods of lifting structures such as a wall of a building. A fluid that is under pressure is injected beneath the base of the wall. The pressure of the injected fluid acts against the base of the wall to lift the wall vertically. In some embodiments, a supplemental lifting force mechanism can be attached to the wall to apply a supplemental lifting force to the wall that acts together with the lifting force applied by the injected fluid. The supplemental lifting force “lightens” the wall, reducing the amount of lifting force required to be applied to the wall by the injected fluid.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of lifting a foundation wall that includes a vertical wall portion and a footing at a base of the vertical wall portion, the method comprising:\n forming at least one hole through the footing from a top surface thereof to a base thereof; securing an end of a fluid injection nozzle to the at least one hole; applying a supplemental lifting force to the vertical wall portion using a supplemental lifting force mechanism; and while the supplemental lifting force is applied to the vertical wall portion, injecting a fluid under pressure through the fluid injection nozzle and underneath the footing, the fluid being injected at a pressure that is sufficient for the fluid to act against the base of the footing and thereby create a lifting force to vertically lift the foundation wall.
