Push Pier Installation for Milledgeville homeowners
A push pier borrows the weight of the building as the force that drives it into the ground. On a modern structure that is unremarkable. On a two hundred year old brick or stone foundation it is a real consideration, because the reaction load passes through masonry that was never designed for it.
So on a historic Milledgeville property the assessment matters more than the method. Where the foundation is substantial masonry in sound condition, push piers can be appropriate and they reach bearing efficiently. Where the masonry is soft, cracked or lightly built, we recommend helical piers, which ask nothing of the structure while they install.
Whichever applies, the rest is done carefully. Hand digging near original footings, brackets set to bear without concentrating stress, and any lift taken gradually over days so plaster and trim come through it intact.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Milledgeville home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
