Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Pier Installation in Lebanon, TN

This customer in Lebanon, TN spoke to Frontier at a home show we exhibited at. He explained he was seeing cracks in the exterior brick walls on the front of his home and the garage, which was located on the side of the front wall. We immediately set up an appointment for a Design Specialist to come out to his home to assess the issue. We found the foundation of the front of the home was sinking, and it was spreading to the side where the garage was. This is an issue that will continue to grow if not addressed. We proposed a solution to stop the settlement. The solution included 8 Push Piers to lift the home back up and prevent any further damage with this permanent solution.

"Stair-Step" Or Diagonal Cracking

Clear signs of settlement sinking and foundational issues.

Exterior Cracks on Walls

When the soils underneath your foundation fail to support the weight of your home, the foundation will begin to settle unevenly, and cracks will appear.

Exterior Cracks on Garage Wall

These cracks are on the side of the home, which means the foundational issues are spreading from the front of the home and getting worse.

Start of Project

The soil will be excavated where the Push Piers will be installed.

Push Piers

This home will need a total of 8 push piers to stabilize the foundation.

Steel Bracket

A steel bracket connects each pier to the foundation to prevent foundation settlement. Brackets are often used along with hydraulic jacks to lift the structure back to original position.

Push Piers

Push Piers stabilize foundations by transferring the weight of the home deep below the foundation, reaching to bedrock or competent strata.

Push Pier Installation Process

The piers are driven deep below your home in sections until the piers reach strong supporting soils. Steel brackets connect piers to the foundation, effectively transferring the weight of the structure to the deeper load-bearing soil.
