Underpinning Installation Process: The deeper we dig, the harder it gets
Our Homeowners' heroes start by using shovels to remove the first layer of soil, but eventually, they must exchange the shovels with heavy machinery such as excavators since the deeper they dig, the harder it gets.
Underpinning Installation Process: Distance is key
How closed or how far each pier will need to get installed is determined by the engineering department since it is based on the needs and goals of the specific room.
Underpinning Installation Process: Location
The location of each pier is crucial for the whole underpinning system to perform as expected because everything needs to be very precise to provide full support to the house's foundation; that is why or engineering department analysis the land and any factor that might influence an unstable foundation.
Underpinning Installation Process: How deep is enough?
One frequently asked question is how to dip will we dig? and the answer is different for each homeowner since each house got built differently with different materials, designs, and purposes. Each room needs a different level of support based on the weight, the materials, and even the ceiling.
Underpinning Installation Process: Challenges and obstacles
Sometimes our foundation heroes must face challenges and obstacles on their way, such as plumbing tubes that might cause a catastrophe if one of them gets broken. However, our foundation professionals are highly trained and know how to deal with these types of problems and even worse ones.
Underpinning Installation Process: Natural Obstacles
Obstacles are not only limited to plumbing tubes but also trees and bushes; sometimes, there are very big and old trees close to the house that might get in the way of our foundation heroes, but they know what to do on all types of occasions, so that is not a problem at all.
After The Underpinning Installation Process - 1
As shown in this picture, the holes got covered and new cement got poured onto each location where each pier got installed to leave the place as aesthetic as possible.

This s another after picture of the underpinning piers installation. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solutions, the house's foundation is stronger than ever before, and the Homeowners are more than satisfied with the results.
