Push Pier Installation for Lizella homeowners
Expansive clay west of Macon lifts a foundation in the wet months and drops it in the dry ones. After enough cycles the structure stops returning to where it started, and the settlement becomes permanent.
A push pier ends that by moving the bearing below the layer doing the moving. Driven hydraulically against the weight of the house, it advances through the active clay and stops where it meets material that stays stable through the year.
Depth here can be considerable, since the layer that dries and rehydrates runs deeper in heavy clay than in sandy soil. The gauge pressure at refusal is what confirms each pier has genuinely passed it. Once they are set, lifting recovers what the cycle has taken.
Our push pier installation scope is the same on every Lizella home, whatever the Bibb County ground turns out to be doing.
