Know What Underpinning Construction Is

When that happens, you may see large cracks, buckled walls, and windows and doors that no longer work properly. Additionally, parts of your home might actually shear away from the rest of the house.Vertical support extends deeper into the soil beneath the building, thus adding strength and stability. Two methods of increasing vertical support are steel push piers or helical piers. For more information visit us at: http://solidearthtech.com/

  4. How Does Foundation Underpinning Support Your Home? • Your home rests on its foundation. When the foundation is damaged, the building is stressed in ways it wasn’t built to withstand. When that happens, you may see large cracks, buckled walls, and windows and doors that no longer work properly. Additionally, parts of your home might actually shear away from the rest of the house. • With different underpinning foundations methods , you need to find the right one because it increases the strength of the foundation and prevents further damage by increasing vertical support. Vertical support extends deeper into the soil beneath the building, thus adding strength and stability. Two methods of increasing vertical support are steel push piers or helical piers. solidearthtech.com

  5. What’s the Difference Between Steel Push Piers and Helical Piers? • Steel piers, also called push piers, are interlocking steel pipes that are rammed, hydraulically, into the earth, one pipe at a time. This continues until the piers reach a depth where the soil is strong and stable enough to be considered suitably load bearing. When the push piers are all installed, a hydraulic pump is attached to each. The house is then raised until it is level and the piers are then interconnected with cables. • Helical piers are also known as anchors, piles, or screw piles, and they literally screw into the earth. There are two types, round and square shafted. Both are easy to install, require minimal soil disturbance, and are not affected by a high water table. As with push piers, these piers are installed to a depth where the soil is considered load bearing. Then brackets are attached to the wall bases so that weight is transferred to the anchors. This process may be best for larger, heavier repair projects. solidearthtech.com
