Foundation Repair Methods
Utilizing the weight of the structure and the exterior grade beam as a bearing surface, an electric powered hydraulic ram is used to drive each piling down vertically into the soil directly below the beam. The soil is displaced thus fusing the pier in place.
Each pile is driven until “refusal” is reached, which can be at bedrock or other load bearing soil and usually occurs between 20 and 25 tons or three times the given weight of the home at that location. Refusal is determined when 25 ton ram no longer presses pile or rather lifts structure.
