Signs of Foundation Problems: Settlement
As shown in this picture, there is a space gap between the floor and the walls due to settlement problems, indicating potential foundation issues that need to be addressed promptly to prevent further structural damage. Understanding the causes and effects of settlement problems can help homeowners and professionals identify early warning signs, enabling them to take proactive measures to stabilize the foundation and prevent costly repairs in the future.
Piers Installation Process: Is the location of each pier important?
The location of each pier is very important because it is determined based on an in-depth study of the specific needs of the house and the goals of the customer, ensuring that the piers are strategically placed to provide comprehensive support and effectively eliminate the settlement problem.
Piers Installation Process: How deep is enough?
The depth of each pier is very significant to provide full foundation support. Our foundation repair crew drills from 7 to 10 feet deep until the strata layer is reached and the house is completely stabilized.
Piers Installation Process: Distance is Key
The distance between each pier is a critical factor as it directly impacts the level of foundation support provided to the assigned area, with closer spacing enhancing the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the foundation system.
Piers Installation Process: Last assessment
Before permanently attaching each pier with its assigned bracket, our foundation repair crew conducts a final assessment to evaluate the current state of the home's foundation. This assessment helps them determine whether it is advisable to proceed with lifting the foundation back to its original position, ensuring a careful and informed approach to the repair process.
