Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Piers Fix Settlement in Decatur, IL

A homeowner in Decatur, IL began noticing signs of a foundation problem both inside and outside of his home. Inside, there were large cracks on the basement walls. Outside, he saw stair-step cracks in his brick foundation. The resident wanted to get the problem solved before it became worse. Woods Basement Systems installed Push Piers by Foundation SupportWorks around the outside perimeter in order to stabilize the home.

Wall Cracks

Cracks on the interior of the basement walls are a common indicator of foundation settlement issues.

Stair-Step Cracking

On the outside of the home, stair-step cracking is common in brick foundations.

Soil Excavation

In order to install the piers, soil is first removed from the area where the pier will be driven. A heavy-duty bracket is installed below and against the foundation’s footing, and the piers are hydraulically driven through the bracket and down to bedrock.

Push Pier Installation

Then the weight of the home is transferred to the stable soil below. After installation is complete, the soil is backfilled and the home is permanently stabilized in its new position.

Push Piers are the Best Solution

Push piers are the perfect solution because they cause minimal disturbance to the property and have a quick installation time compared to other solutions.
