Structural Foundation Repair: Push Piers Repair a Dropped Foundation
Structural damage to the foundation is one of the worst problems a house can have, especially when the foundation has dropped or settled significantly. This not only damages the foundation walls and causes cracks and stuck doors and windows in the aboveground structure but it destabilizes the entire home and places it in jeopardy.
When all or a portion of a foundation has dropped it can be repaired permanently and effectively with a system of steel hydraulic push piers. The house will be raised back to level hydraulically and supported by the piers sitting on a load-bearing stratum underground.
There are other, older pier systems using concrete in various forms but steel hydraulic piers penetrate more deeply into the earth to ensure a stable base and allow for a more precise raising and leveling of the structure.
In the following brief video, we explain how a hydraulic pier system is installed and how it works to support and stabilize a home on a damaged foundation.
