Heavy homes that have settled get steel piers pressed deep to firm bearing, using the weight of the house to drive them.
When a heavy brick home in Hardwick settles, push piers are often the right tool. Two-story brick houses and homes with full masonry walls have plenty of weight, and that weight is what drives each pier section down to solid bearing.
The problem under those houses is usually a soft layer. Wet clay, fill placed during construction, or a pocket of loose sand compresses under the footing and the wall sinks. Stair-step cracks in the brick, separated window frames and sloping floors near the exterior wall are typical signs.
We dig down beside the footing, fasten a steel bracket to it, and hydraulically press pier sections into the ground one after another until they hit firm soil. Then the load transfers to the piers and the foundation can be lifted back toward level. Your Hardwick inspection is free, with photos and a written price.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Hardwick home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
Thank you Trench Guys for repairing our foundation. John gave our home a thorough inspection and explained the process so we knew exactly what the problem was and our options. They worked hard and were friendly and knowledgeable.
