Underpinning Installation Process: Reaching the right depth
One frequent question we get is, how deep will you dig? And there is no universal answer for each homeowner; basically, every house is different. The house might have gotten built with different materials, designs, locations, and purposes, so each depth for each pier might differ.
Underpinning Installation Process: Location
Another variant factor is the location of each pier which is why each location gets chosen by our engineering department based on the house's needs and the Owners' goals.
Underpinning Installation Process: Obstacles & challenges
Unfortunately, when our foundation heroes are digging holes is hard to see the unseen; that is why they need to be very careful with plumbing tubes or anything that might get damaged in the process that can harm the house's functionality.
Underpinning Installation Process: Last Assessment
Before permanently attaching each pier with its assigned bracket, our foundation professionals need to complete the last assessment where they determine if it is wise to lift the house foundation back to its original position.

Sometimes the pier gets installed under concrete, and our foundation professionals need to leave the area as if nothing happened. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions, this family will no longer struggle with sinking floors and cracks all over the house since the foundation is stronger and more stable than ever before.
