close the gap on foundation repair problems

HELICAL PIERS ARE INSTALLED USING AN INDEPENDENT DRIVE HEAD, NEVER TOUCHING THE STRUCTURE

In 1666, Sir Isaac Newton proclaimed:

FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN OPPOSITE AND EQUAL REACTION

HYDRAULICALLY DRIVEN STEEL PUSH PIER FOUNDATIONS USE THIS PRINCIPLE.

All steel push pier foundation systems bolt a bracket onto your foundation and use the weight of your home to hydraulic push the pier downward. The problems is: There is an equal force which will lift your foundation upward an uncontrolled distance, placing undo stress at each point location, causing movement, possible cracking and a definite strain on your foundation.

STRESS, MOVEMENT, CRACKING AND STRAIN should be removed from your home, THIS IS THE REASON OUR COMPANY HAS NOT ELECTED TO
INSTALL THESE TYPES OF FOUNDATION REPAIR SYSTEMS
