Foundational Support Job in West Springfield, MA
Challenge
In West Springfield, MA, this homeowner noticed alarming signs of foundation settlement. This included visible wall cracks and uneven floors. After observing this, he began to worry about the structural integrity of his home and decided to reach out to us for help. To begin this solution process, our appointment center scheduled one of our experienced inspectors to assess the foundation and draw up a proposal.
Upon the day of the inspection, our team member identified the primary cause of this settlement. He informed the homeowner that the soil conditions around the property played a huge part in the foundation movement and proposed that our PushPiers will secure the whole structure in place! This solution is designed to stabilize any foundation by transferring the weight of the home to the soil.
Once the details were discussed, the homeowner agreed to the proposal!
Solution
For the installation, we carefully excavated soil around the foundation where the PushPiers will be installed. Then we attached heavy duty steel brackets to the bottom of the footing. Then, we drove down steel piers down each bracket until proper depth has been reached. Once all the piers were installed, we used hydraulic jacks to lift the foundation back to its correct level and stabilized it in place!
Now, the home is more secure and the homeowner won't have to worry about his foundation in the long run! If you need an immediate and permanent solution for your foundation settlement, then reach out to us!
