Piers Installation Process: First Step
Before actually digging any holes, our foundation repair team is in charge of placing plastic sheets in the area to protect the surroundings from unfortunate events that might damage any decorative items in the house.

The plastic sheets will help our crew know how much dirt got removed, and they can use the very same dirt to cover the holes once the piers get installed.
