The foundation of your home plays a crucial role in the stability and function of the entire home. When the foundation of your house is weakened or damaged, it can put everything above it at risk of damage. One of the best solutions for foundation issues, unstable soil, and damaged or cracked drywall are push piers. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about push piers, their benefits, and how Sutton Specialty Contractors can help you with high quality foundation repair services!
What is a Push Pier?
Push piers are used by contractors to stabilize and lift the foundation of the home to take weight off of the foundation, allowing stable soil to support the home. These push piers are up to three times stronger than needed, which means that your foundation is extremely supported. Our team uses the SaberToothTM Push Pier system. This process begins by excavating and clearing the ground around the home to expose the bottom of the foundation footing. Then, we use a hydraulic ram to push the pier underneath your home to where the weight can be transferred and the push pier can bear the load. Once your foundation is level, we begin the backfill process.
When Might You Need a Push Pier?
If you are experiencing foundation settling, push piers may be the right solution for you. Common signs to look out for include cracks in the walls, doors and windows that stick or will not close, gaps around door frames or windows, cracks in the foundation, or uneven or sloped floors. Push piers will help to relieve weight off the foundation of your home and offer extra support and strength to stabilize your home. Push piers are a great long-term solution that provides lasting stability and peace of mind to homeowners. Our team can help you determine if your home is in need of push piers.
Benefits of Push Piers
