The location of each pier is very important that why our crew carefully selects each location after an in-depth analysis of the area and the situation. It is important to install each pier in the right location to provide full foundation support.
Piers Installation Process: Distance
Distance between each pier is crucial because depending on how close they are the level of foundation support changes too. The closer they are the stronger the foundation support is for that specific area.
Piers Installation Process: Protecting is Caring
Whenever our foundation repair team goes to a project, they use plastic sheets to protect the area from unfortunate damage. Our team install the sheets to cover walls and the floor. Another benefit of using plastic sheets is that our team can separate the dug-out dirt from the rest to put it back once all piers get installed.

Teamwork and communication are our secret sauce since a good work environment and good communication is essential to overcome challenges and new obstacles. The willingness of each team member of helping each other is very important to have a consistent high performance.
