Underpinning Installation Process: Location
Location is very important; that is why our engineering department is in charge of selecting each spot with the help of the foreman in charge of the project.
Underpinning Installation Process: How Deep is Enough?
How deep do we dig? this is a very common question whenever our foundation experts go to a job site. Ten answers might differ from one location to another since every place is different and under different factors that might influence the current state of the house foundation. Generally speaking, our foundation experts go from 7 to 10 feet underground until the pier reaches the strata.
Underpinning Installation Process: Is it better closer than far way?
The distance between each pier is crucial because the closer they are, the more foundation support they provide, and the further away that might be, the less support they can provide. After an in-depth analysis made by our engineers, each location is determined based on the house's needs and consumer goals.
Underpinning Installation Process: Heavy Machinery
Heavy machinery is always needed, especially when there is an underpinning project going on. Heavy duty is required to continue the project with the same efficiency and effectiveness to finish it on time or within the proposed time frame.
Underpinning Installation Process: Perfect Angle
Before installing each pier, our foundation heroes need to make sure each pier is placed at the right angle to provide the expected full support to the room.
Underpinning Installation Process: Last Assessment
Right before permanently installing each pier with its assigned bracket, our foundation heroes need to complete a last evaluation where they will determine if it is wise to lift the foundation back to its original position.
After Underpinning Installation Process
At this point, all holes got covered, and all piers got installed. Thanks to Arizona Foundation Solution, this family will no longer have to face foundation issues for a very long time.
