Foundation Repair Photo Album: Settling House Lifted in Princeton, KY

This Kentucky home was in serious need of our help! It seems that the soil that this home was built on was not meant for something as heavy as a home to be built on it. Soil with poor load-bearing capacity can give way under the weight of a house, causing cracked foundation walls and jammed  doors and windows. To solve settlement problems, steel push piers are "pushed", or driven, until they reach more stable soil. The How: interlocking steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket until bedrock or stable soil is reached. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to this load-bearing soil. Once the homeowner and installing contractor are satisfied with the stabilization or amount of lift, the soil can be backfilled. The home is now permanently stabilized in its new position. This family can now rest easy knowing their home's foundation won't cause them anymore issues!
