Push Pier Installation for Macon homeowners
A push pier is a steel tube driven hydraulically into the ground beneath a footing, using the weight of the structure above as the reaction force. It advances until it meets material dense enough to resist, and the pressure on the hydraulic gauge at that moment is what verifies the capacity.
That method needs weight to work, which is what separates it from a screwed pier. On a heavy masonry or brick veneer Macon home there is plenty, and the pier drives cleanly to refusal. On a light frame structure there is too little, and the pier stalls before it reaches bearing.
The payoff for that weight requirement is lift. Because the pier is already engaged with the footing through its bracket, the same hydraulics that drove it can raise the structure back toward level in controlled increments. On a settled Macon home that is often how a good part of the drop gets recovered.
Every Macon home gets the same push pier installation scope, and the written price says exactly what that covers.
