Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Pier Installation in Boaz, KY

This customer in Boaz, KY, called Frontier when they noticed cracks and separation on her home's exterior bricks and foundation walls. This is a clear indication that this area of the home was sinking, and a foundation issue needed to be addressed before it could worsen. We installed Push Piers where the home was sinking. Push Piers are made of steel and are driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation.

Cracks in Exterior Wall

During inspection we can see cracks in the exterior walls of the home. As a foundation is returned to its original level state, cracks will close and be ready for patching.

Inward bowing walls

Water-saturated soil can sometimes exert enough pressure to cause foundation walls to bow, bulge or tilt.

Checking Levels

Checking with a laser to see how much and where the foundation is sinking.

Foundation Push Pier System

These rugged steel push piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket. This is the best foundation repair option available when soil conditions are unknown, providing a permanent solution for your settlement issues.

Push Piers

To install a push pier system, soil is first removed to expose the foundation footing where the pier will be driven. A heavy-duty steel bracket is then installed below the footing.

Installation Process

Rugged, interlocking steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket until bedrock or stable soil is reached. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to this load-bearing soil.
