Underpinning Installation Process: Reaching rough spots
Most of the time, our home heroes need to start underpinning projects with a shovel, especially to reach those impossible locations very close to the house's foundation.
Underpinning Installation Process: House's Goals & Needs
The location of every pier gets determined by our engineering department with the help of the foremen in charge of the project.
Underpinning Installation Process: Distance is Key
When underpinning the distance between each pier is critical for the piers to provide the expected support to the assigned house's area.
Underpinning Installation Process: Efficiency & Productivity
Once our heroes reach all the difficult spots closed to the foundation, they can use excavators to accelerate the process in a better and more convenient way.
Mid Underpinning Installation Process
All the foundation needs to get exposed so that our professionals can install the pier are they are supposed to provide full support to the house's foundation.
Underpinning Installation Process: How deep is enough?
Another frequently asked question is: How deep is enough? And the answer might differ from each project because every house is different, and every location is different too regarding the environmental factors.
Underpinning Installation Process: Protecting & Caring
Whenever our home heroes are going to dig a hole, they must protect all the surroundings. Sometimes the Homeowners have gravel or even grass close to the area where our professionals are performing the work, so we are pretty sure the Owners do not want their patio to get damaged in any way.
Underpinning Installation Process: Helical Piers
In this photo, these helical piers need to get driven fully before their brackets get attached.
Underpinning Installation Process: Time to Lift
Once the helical pier along with its bracket gets aligned with the exposed footing of the house, our home heroes need to determine if the house needs to get lifted back to the original position or not.
Underpinning Installation Process: Perfect Angle
Another important factor when getting the house's foundation halted is to check the angle of the pier and the bracket to provide full support.
After Underpinning Installation
In this photo, the helical got already installed along with its bracket at the right altitude and angle. This family will no longer have to worry about cracks in their house. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions and its permanent solutions!
Underpinning Installation Process: Extra support
Sometimes after underpinning a specific area of the house is recommendable to implement the PolyLevel® System Repair as extra support based on the house's goals & environmental factors affecting the foundation.
