Photo Album: Encinitas, California Push Pier Foundation Repair

In Encinitas, California, Saber was called out to fix a foundation with severe settling issues. The windows and doors had begun to stick and cracks were forming in the walls from the settling.  The homeowner was concerned that if not corrected the value of the property would go down, and the damage would continue to get worse.  This type of settling is usually due to the shift in the soils supporting the foundation, as the California heat shrinks the clay in the supporting soil.   With the Push Piers, by Foundations Supportworks, Inc, installation is easy and the effects are immediate.  Push Piers are easily driven into the ground beneath the home until they hit hard solid supporting soils.  Brackets are attached to the foundation footing to drive the piers in at the right angle, and to transfer the lifting from the pier to the home's foundation. During this installation, seven Push Pier were installed.  These piers work together to transfer the weight of the structure to the strong soils or bedrock below.  After installation, the homeowner will notice that the signs of the soil shifting will no longer be an issue.  The windows and doors will once again open and close with ease, and any cracks that may have been formed due to the foundation issue, will now be closed.
