Push Pier Installation for Robins Air Force Base homeowners
When a heavy brick home near Robins Air Force Base starts to sink at one end, the cause is usually the soil right under the footing. Clay that dries out and shrinks, or loose fill from when the lot was graded, lets part of the foundation drop. A brick veneer house shows it quickly with cracks that step through the mortar.
Push piers use the weight of the house as their anchor. Steel pipe sections are driven straight down beneath the footing, one after another, until they hit soil or rock firm enough to stop them. That makes them a strong choice for heavier homes that need to be raised, which is common on inspection reports at sale time.
We excavate at each pier spot, mount a steel bracket to the footing and press the pier down with a hydraulic ram. Once every pier is set, the house is lifted together in careful steps and locked in place. The soil goes back and the yard is cleaned up. Free inspection, photos and a written price first.
