We will use a CompuLevel, an elevation measuring type device, which uses barometric pressure to give precise measurements of deflection and heaving of your home. Once complete, we will put together the best plan of action for stabilizing your home.

8 Our Process:

9 Site Preparation Shrubs, plants and other vegetation are removed from the required work areas. Tarps and plywood are placed around your home to protect the surrounding lawn.

10 Excavation Access holes for the installation of piers are excavated by hand. The holes are the size of a common doormat, extending below the surface three to four feet. If concrete exists in these locations, we must break through these surfaces to create the access holes. Excavated dirt is taken to a protected area of the lawn.

11 Pier Installation Concrete pilings are driven into the ground using a small, quiet hydraulic ram The first piling is vertically aligned under the home's grade beam, which extends around the perimeter of your home Using the weight of the home and the grade beam as a backstop, the ram drives each additional concrete piling further into the ground until refusal occurs, usually at 18 to 20 tons, or three times the given weight of your home at that pier location

12 Leveling Manual hydraulic jacks used to level the home will be placed upon each pier cap. The crew moves systematically, following the direction of the Field Superintendent, to create a gentle and uniform lift. The Field Superintendent monitors the reaction of the structure & the interior elevation readings throughout the leveling process.

13 Backfill Previously removed dirt is returned to the access holes. Any surface concrete breakouts are filled and patched All excess materials, dirt and debris are removed

14 Job Finish Match and point all mortar where cracks have been identified Caulk and seal all window and door jambs

15 Clean Up Trees, shrubs and other vegetation are returned back to their original positions At this point, we check all sprinkler and irrigation systems, and will happily show you how to set up and install a proper foundation watering plan

16 Congratulations!!! Your home is now stabilized. We recommend you wait 60 to 90 days before repairing any cosmetic damage. Your home has just gone through motions that it is not used to and will need time to settle on its new found support
