Foundation Repair Photo Album: Foundation Support: Steel Push Piers

Springfield, Illinois homeowners Robert and Mary L. were finding more and more cracks around their home almost every month. Many of these were cracks that were forming vertically on the walls in the basement. Concerned for the foundation of their home, they decided to call Woods Basement Systems to find a solution that could support their home permanently. Our foremen Jose Lorenzana and his team came out to the Springfield home to install a solution the couples foundation problem. They installed our patented Push Piers - piers made of steel permanently stablizing the home's foundation. Our push piers allow for minimal disturbance and quick installiation, making it comfortable for the homeowners while being installed. Now Robert and Mary are happy in knowing their home is safe and stable.

Our push piers feature a patented bracket and external sleeve. The external sleeve strengthens the pier system directly below the bracket to prevent kinking and bending.
