The team begins by breaking the foundation where the push piers will be installed.
The team has prepared the locations of the push pier installation.
Now that the foundation is ready, the team then begins to remove the soil to access the foundation footing.
The team attaches heavy duty steel piers to the foundation footing.
The team tightens the steel bracket before the push piers are hydraulically driven deep into competent soils.
The push piers are hydraulically driven to meet the desired capacity to permanently stabilize the foundation.
Now with the push pier system is installed, the team pours concrete to level with the rest of the foundation floor.
The team also installed WaterGuard to help waterproof the most susceptible areas of basement due to settlement.
