Push Pier Installation for Fort Valley homeowners
When one corner of a Fort Valley house keeps dropping, the problem is the soil right under the footing. Clay that swells and shrinks, or sandy fill that was never compacted, lets the foundation slowly sink. Push piers bypass that layer entirely and rest the house on ground far below that does not move with the seasons.
They work best for heavier homes with brick veneer or a concrete slab, where the building's own weight can drive the pier. You typically see the need as a diagonal crack in the brick running from a window corner, a sloping slab at one end, or a gap opening between the chimney and the wall.
We dig at the affected footings, attach a steel bracket, and hydraulically press sections of steel pipe into the ground using the house as the counterweight. When the pier stops at firm strata, we lift the section back toward level and lock it. Pressure readings are recorded. Photos and a written price are provided first.
Every Fort Valley home gets the same push pier installation scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
