Foundation Repair Photo Album: Push Pier Installation in Fayetteville, TN

In Fayetteville, TN, a customer reached out to Frontier after noticing signs of their foundation settling. These signs included cracks on the exterior wall and sinking in the corner of their porch where water was pooling. We recommended the installation of Push Piers to address the foundation instability. The process began by strategically placing engineered steel tube sections through Foundation Pier brackets. These were driven deep into the ground with hydraulic force, reaching load-bearing soil beneath the unsettled layers. This complex installation method ensured that the homeowner's foundation received permanent stabilization.

Cracks in Exterior Wall

Cracking on your homes exterior wall are all indications that there are foundation issues. In many cases, we may even be able to close the cracks, straighten doors and windows, and return your foundation to its original position.

Excavation Process

Areas are chosen and excavated to install the Push Piers with minimal disruption. These areas will also be covered at the end of the project.

Push Piers

Piers can solve settlement problems by transferring a structure's weight to strong, competent supporting soils at greater depth. Piers can effectively stabilize a settling structure and can even provide jacking points to lift the structure upwards to its original, level position.

The Process Begins

The process began by strategically placing engineered steel tube sections through Foundation Pier brackets. These were driven deep into the ground with hydraulic force, reaching load-bearing soil beneath the unsettled layers.

Foundation Push Pier Systems

These rugged steel push piers feature a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the pier at the critical tension point below the bracket.

Our Push Pier System

Along with their corrosion-resistant design that includes galvanized steel and a 25-year warranty, the Foundation Supportworks Push Pier System also includes a patent-pending external sleeve that strengthens the push pier directly below the foundation bracket, which is the most critical location for added structural support.

Installation Process

Once the homeowner and installing contractor are satisfied with the stabilization or amount of lift, the soil can be backfilled. The home is now permanently stabilized in its new position.

When To Use Foundation Push Piers

Because push piers are driven all the way to bedrock or a stable soil layer, they are often the least risky solution when local soil conditions are unknown.
