Heavy-duty steel push piers are used to permanently lift your home back to its original position. These piers are driven into the ground and the weight of the structure is transferred from weaker soils onto the steel piers. These piers are an end-bearing pier that does not rely upon nor require skin friction to product support. The advantages to using a push pier system are portable equipment allows for installation in smaller areas, they can be load tested during the installation process, they allow for lifting of settled structures, and are corrosion protected.
Helical piers are used for the stabilization of foundations where there are smaller buildings or homes, unstable rock basement or very deep load bearing layers. They are used where there is a need to resist a tension or compressible force or both. A helical pier is a steel shaft, similar to a large screw that provides support for various types of structures. Helical piers are often used when treacherous soil conditions do not allow for a traditional foundation system.
Helical tiebacks are used to stabilize bowing basement walls. These wall plate anchors consist of an inside wall plate, an outside anchor and a high strength rod that ties them together. Wall anchors are the most economical method for providing stabilization of bowed walls that have been affected by water and/or hydrostatic pressure.
