RESTORING A HOME’S FOUNDATION TO A LEVEL POSITION

FOUNDATION UNDERPINNING EXPERTS

Underpinning (or leveling) a house or a building when it is sinking too much. We excavate the earth beside the house to the footingThe footing is the concrete base of the foundation that’s poured into the foundation trench. This base supports the foundation and is usually poured as an integral part of a slab. If the footing becomes exposed to regular moisture, the foundation could sag and cracks could appear. More. Then install either bored concrete piles or screw piles.

A screw pile is a screw-in piling and anchor. It consists of a hollow pipe and a helix or helixes.

We then install a bracket that lifts the footingThe footing is the concrete base of the foundation that’s poured into the foundation trench. This base supports the foundation and is usually poured as an integral part of a slab. If the footing becomes exposed to regular moisture, the foundation could sag and cracks could appear. More up. The lifting is performed simultaneously on each pile, so everything lifts together. Once the foundation is at the desired level. Determined by the laser level. The piles are then tightened to a bracket assembly and the foundation is now sitting on piles.

The piling shaft transfers the load of the structure into the pile. Screw piles are typically installed in one day and you could build on that same day.

Concrete piles need curing time, which is why screw piles have a huge advantage. Screw piles also have less ground disturbance and are ideal for underpinning. Screw piles are also used with new construction in houses, decks and additions.
