Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Piers Fix Huge Wall Crack

Push Piers are the best solution when the home needs to be lifted back toward its original position. Oftentimes, this closes cracks and fixes and doors or windows that might be jamming. There is minimal disturbance from the installation, and it's a quicker process compared to other solutions.

Wall Crack Separates and Settles

What started out as a small problem became much bigger when the homeowner neglected to take care of it. An entire portion of the concrete wall separated and began settling, creating a gaping hole in the wall.

Gaping Hole in Wall

The homeowner finally decided to take care of the issue before letting it get even worse. Push Piers can be used to fix problems such as this one.

Portion of Wall Settles

The part of the wall that cracked and separated away settled around 2 inches into the ground. Nothing the installation of Push Piers can't fix!

Steel Piers Stabilize Foundation

Soil is first removed from the area where the pier will be driven. A heavy-duty steel bracket is installed against the foundation's footing. The piers are then hydraulically driven through the bracket to bedrock or a stable soil layer.

Push Pier Installation

The weight of the home is transferred through the piers to the stable soil below, and the home may be lifted back toward its original position.

Push Pier Installed on Interior

Push Piers can be installed from the inside of the home. When completed, the installation will be completely covered and the floor will be neat and clean.
