Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Piers Fix Settlement

Push Piers, also known as resistance piers, are made of steel and are driven deep into a stable layer of soil below the home. They can be installed from the interior or exterior and provide an opportunity for the home to be lifted back toward its original position. Oftentimes, this closes cracks and resolves any problems with jammed doors or windows. Push Piers have a quicker installation time than other solutions and can restore the property value of your home.

Separation of Window from Frame

When an opening is cut in a wall, such as for a door or window, it becomes the weakest point of the wall. Because of this, doors and windows often show the first signs of settlement.

Stair-Step Crack from Window

Stair-step cracking is a very common indicator of foundation settlement. Problems such as this one can be fixed by installed steel Push Piers.

Installation of Push Piers

Push Piers were installed to fix the homeowner's foundation settlement issues and lift the home back toward its original position.

Drywall Cracks

In this home, cracks in the drywall were the first indicators of foundation settlement.

Widening Vertical Cracks

When the vertical cracks become wider at the top, such as in this home, it means the wall is rotating outward. Problems such as this can be solved by installing Push Piers.
