How Steel Push Piering Works

Concrete Raising Service's steel push piering proprietary system stabilizes and/or raises the foundation of your home or business, while preventing further vertical settlement. Typical steps of piering installation:

• After excavating to expose your structure's foundation footings, a heavy-duty angle bracket is attached to the foundation as close to the wall as possible.
• A high-strength steel pier tubing is hydraulically pushed through a guide sleeve in the bracket down into the load-bearing soil.
  
• Once installed, the column of steel tubing becomes the new permanent foundation for the structure.
  
• After the affected area of the foundation is repositioned and/or stabilized, the steel pier is locked or capped permanently to the angle bracket.
• If a lift of one inch or more is achieved, the void created by the lift may be mud jacked so no new voids are left behind. We're the only foundation repair contractor in the region that has this capability.
• When the structure is secure, depth, pressure and elevation readings are recorded for each pier.
  
• The excavation is then back filled and the project is complete.

On most of the foundation lifting projects, windows and doors that were stuck will work normally. Cracks in walls will close up and become repairable, and furniture will sit level again.
