Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Piers in Springfield, IL

Springfield, Illinois homeowner Paul noticed cracks in the walls and floors throughout his garage and home. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Adam R. developed a plan for him. Foreman Miguel and his crew installed the Push Pier system once it was determined the cracks were happening because of foundation settling. Push Piers are a great solution for settling foundation. We take the pressure of the structure from the moving soil to the steel Push Piers. They transfer the weight to the solid bedrock beneath. It prevents further settling and in many cases can return the home to its original structure. Paul now has a stable home he can trust for decades to come.

Foundation Crack

A crack in the foundation is a common sign of foundation settling, especially cracks that occur at the corners.

Crack From Corner of Door

Cracks coming from the corner of doors and windows are another sign of foundation settling. Since these are holes in the wall they are weak points and will give into settling first.

Floor Cracks

Cracks in concrete floors can be another sign of foundation settling. As one wall moves down quicker than others it can put pressure on the concrete floor slab. In a garage where the weight of a car is spread across the floor it can cause the crack to become very noticeable and even dangerous.

Push Pier Anchored to Foundation

By anchoring the Push Pier to the foundation we can ensure that it will not slip and that it takes on the weight of the home. Because we drill it in at a higher pressure than it will ever experience from the home we know they will last.

Reaching the Foundation Bottom

We can excavate a hole in order to reach foundations that go down far. Our installers and foreman are not afraid to get in the hole and make sure everything is still how it needs to be.
