Foundation Push Pier Installation in Alabama
Push Pier Installation: A Powerful Solution for Sinking Foundations
If your home’s foundation is showing signs of settlement—like cracks in the walls, uneven floors, or sticking doors—push piers could be the ideal solution. At APS, we specialize in using push pier systems to stabilize and lift sinking foundations, ensuring your home remains safe and secure.
Why Foundations Settle
Foundations settle when the soil beneath them shifts or compacts, causing the structure to sink. Common causes include:
- Expansive soils that swell and shrink with moisture changes
- Poor soil compaction during construction
- Poorly Compacted Soil: If the soil beneath your home wasn’t properly compacted during construction, it can settle unevenly over time.
- Water drainage issues, leading to soil erosion
These factors weaken the foundation, leading to cracks and instability in your home.
What Are Push Piers?
- High-strength steel designed for long-term stability
- Depth-driven installation, ensuring piers reach solid, load-bearing soil
- Permanent support, capable of lifting and stabilizing the foundation
Push piers are an effective solution for restoring the integrity of your home’s foundation.
Benefits of Push Pier Installation
- Permanent Stabilization: Push piers anchor your foundation to bedrock or stable soil.
- Minimal Disruption: Installation is quick and non-invasive, with little disruption to your property.
- Lift Capabilities: In many cases, push piers can restore your foundation to its original level.
How APS Installs Push Piers
Comprehensive Inspection: Our team evaluates the foundation to determine the extent of settlement.
Pier Placement: Push piers are installed at key points along the foundation using hydraulic equipment.
Foundation Lift: The weight of the home is transferred to the piers, and the foundation is carefully lifted.
Final Stabilization: After lifting, APS ensures the piers provide long-term support.
