Foundation Settling or Sinking
One of the most common issues is foundation settling or sinking, which can result in uneven floors and cracked walls. Push and helical piers stabilize the foundation by transferring the load to more stable soil layers, preventing further sinking.
Soil Expansion and Contraction
Changes in soil moisture levels can cause soil expansion and contraction, leading to foundation shifting. Helical piers anchor the foundation into stable soil, mitigating the effects of these soil movements.
Weak or Unstable Soil
In areas with weak or unstable soil, the foundation may not have adequate support. Both push and helical piers provide additional strength by reaching deeper, stable soil layers that can better support the structure’s weight.
Water-Related Issues
Water-related issues such as flooding and erosion can weaken the soil beneath your foundation. Installing push and helical piers offers a long-term solution to these problems by anchoring the foundation into stable, unaffected soil layers.
Conclusion
Push and helical piers offer an effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly solution to common foundation issues. Their ability to provide increased stability, minimize future problems, and ensure a quick installation process makes them an excellent choice.
