Push Pier Installation for Forsyth homeowners
Forsyth sits on highly expansive Piedmont clay with no sandy layer above it, so moisture reaches footing depth quickly and the clay responds. Getting the bearing below that layer is the permanent answer, and a push pier does it by driving to refusal.
The question is whether a given house can supply the reaction weight. The heavier brick homes around town can. A light frame historic house on brick piers usually cannot, and on those we recommend helical piers and explain why.
Where push piers do fit, the terrain adds a wrinkle worth knowing about. On a house cut into a slope, the uphill and downhill sides sit in very different moisture conditions, so piers finish at different depths and each one is verified individually by gauge pressure.
Forsyth homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
