CAUSES OF FOUNDATION SETTLEMENT
Check out the causes below to see how this happened to your foundation.
SOIL MOISTURE
Heavy rain and floods cause the soil surrounding your building to become wet and hold water. This makes the soil very soft and weak, causing the building to sink or shift down into it. Drought can also cause the soil to shrink, creating voids in which your home can settle.
IMPROPER FILL DIRT
During construction, the area around the building must be filled with loose dirt. When this fill soil is not compacted properly, it can compress under the weight of the structure, causing settlement. Even the best job of compaction will not compress the soil equally with the undisturbed soil.
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid due to the force of gravity. As water saturates the soils around your building’s foundation, that water puts pressure against the walls, impacting the stability of your building’s foundation.

HELICAL PIER
OVERVIEW
Helical Piers permanently stabilize your building’s foundation, and can even lift your home back to proper level. Steel piers are screwed mechanically into the soil. The piers are installed to the appropriate capacities and depths, and a steel foundation bracket connects the helical piers to your footing. The weight of your building is transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil or bedrock beneath.

PUSH PIER
OVERVIEW
The Push Pier system permanently stabilizes the foundation of your building. Tube sections, made from galvanized steel are driven through steel foundation brackets to reach the depths of competent load-bearing soil. The hydraulic method locks the piers into place and the weight of your building is transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil or bedrock beneath.
