Foundation Problems
Due to differential foundation settlement, the walls of this home were cracking.
The Beginning of The Solution
Since the foundation of this home is sinking, the soil that it settled on isn't able to carry the weight of the home. Here is a picture of the beginning of the work. A hole is dug to the bottom of the foundation, and this bracket is placed beneath the foundation to begin pushing a pier into the Earth until it reaches a stronger level of soil that is capable of carrying the weight.
During Push Pier Installation
Here you see three push piers with steel tubes ready to be hydraulically pressed into the Earth.
Push Pier Fully Installed
Now that this push pier has reached it's final depth. The top of it is capped off and now the hole is ready to be backfilled.
The Work Is Done
After all of the push piers have been installed, any concrete that was cut is replaced to make it appear that we were never there.
