Piers in place and hoses attached ready for the lift.
Soils were removed from the area of were the piers were placed. A heavy duty steel bracket was installed below and against the foundation's footing. Steel pier sections were then hydraulically driven through the brackets to bedrock, or a stable soil layer. Next, the weight of the structure will be transferred through the piers to competent soil below, and the lift will be attempted to bring the structure back toward its original position. Once the stabilization and lift of the structure are complete, the soil will be backfilled and the structure will be permanently stabilized in its new position.
Piers are attached to hoses and ready for the lift.

Bracket and pier in place.
This is will remain as a permanent fixture at the foundation's footing, once the job is complete, it will be covered with the soil that is used to back fill the exposed locations.
