Driven through subdivision fill until the gauge says it has reached ground that will hold.
Centerville homes sit on graded lots, and the fill placed during that grading keeps compacting for decades. A footing bearing on it goes down with it, which is where most of the settlement we see in this town begins.
A push pier drives straight through the fill. The hydraulics push against the weight of the house and the tube advances easily through the loose material, then meets resistance when it reaches undisturbed ground. The gauge pressure at that point verifies the capacity.
Because the fill depth varies across a lot, the piers finish at different depths, and each one is verified on its own. Once they are set, the lift brings the settled half of the house back toward the elevation of the stable half, taken in stages so the drywall survives it.
Every Centerville home gets the same push pier installation scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
