Signs of Foundation problems in Scottsdale, Arizona
Wall cracks can be a real problem when there is a foundation problem because that crack will only get deeper, larger, and even more visible than before, as in this photo.
Underpinning Installation: Excavators & more
Heavy machinery such as excavators is necessary because the deeper we dig, the harder it gets. Therefore, our foundation heroes need to be careful with rocks or anything that might get in their way.
Underpinning Installation: Right Support
A very important factor when installing the piers is to determine a specific distance between each pier to provide the correct foundation supports to the right area.
Underpinning Installation: location is Key
The location of each pier is very important when distributing the foundation support in the most affected areas; That is why our engineering department with the help of the foreman in charge of the project, will determine where is the most reasonable location for each pier to provide full support, based on the house's needs and Owners' goals.
Underpinning Installation: how deep is enough?
One frequent question we get is, How deep does each pier will go? How much must you dig? And the answer is always different since each house's foundation is different and requires different necessaries for its optimal performance.
Last Assessment
Right after permanently attaching each pier with its bracket, our foundation professionals need to complete the last assessment to determine if it is wise to lift the house's foundation back to its original position based on the current status.
