Foundation Repair with Helical Piers and Push Piers

If a structure is built on poor or uncompacted soil, including collapsible soil, it is likely to settle or sink in the future. This video shows how to stabilize and lift a settled or sinking foundation utilizing Push Piers and Helical Piers. Once the piers are installed they are permanently left in place and the foundation is permanently stabilized.

For anyone or contractors, FYI: Never use foam, it is basically plastic and breaks down over time, will not last. Galvanized or Stainless steel is the only way to go. Do not let anyone try and sell you just steel, DOES NOT matter the grade, rust never sleeps, and below grade there is always moisture.

Thank you for the visuals. I never really know what foundation was until now.

Are piers ever put in the center of the home or the center of settled areas of the home to properly support both the perimeter and the center and prevent collapse?

[scootertheeb]

Is helical piers applicable to internal footing settlement?

Curious why there wasn't concrete beams used in the foundation at the first place during the fiest time build, its a bit expensive sure but down the line, eliminates a lot of headache.

Can you please give me a recommendation for a company that serves the north-west Chicago area??

Is one better than the other? Im getting two companies swearing by both... and im leaning to the push peir because it looks less invasive. It is such a strange scenario since the house has almost no damage but the sloping is severe.

Appears that you can stabilize the outside perimeter of a structure and you guarantee the result. Brave statement. How do you stabilize the interior footings from movement?

A little cofusing to see the heavy machinery pushing the HELICAL PIERS into the ground, and then the audio states that they are put in until reaching required torque. can someone explain this and what is meant by the weight of the structure itself not bieng what is used top make them work? being in weight bearing soil is what makes them work not weight right??? when is the weight of the house ever beneficial to making a pier work if you might explain if the house had no weight at all for instance gravity would not be causing any settlement in the first place. what the hell? Is there a reason this is confusing to me besides my ignorance? or could it be explained in a better way?

What if the next door, semi detached is not getting this done???
