Home/House
Leveling
House leveling
is the process of restoring your home
towards its original position when the
foundation has shifted. In order to lift.
In order to lift your foundation, you
must first secure it from further sinking
problems.
Concrete
piles are used to secure the foundation
of your home. These provide solid bearing
to rest your foundation on. Concrete piles,
however, do not offer the ability to lift.
Helical
piers, or screw piers, are another method
available for foundation stabilization.
Unfortunately, they are not meant for
this type of repair. A helical pier is
designed to secure lighter structures
(porches, out buildings, etc.) For this
situation, they can be very effective.
Once again, this system does not offer
house leveling abilities you are looking
for.
The
push pier (or mini-pile) system offers the ability to
lift your foundation towards the original
position. Push piers are hydraulically
driven into the ground until load bearing
strata or bedrock is reached. Once the
foundation has been secured from further
settlement problems, the system can be
used to lift your home.
Before
investing into a house leveling system,
the recommended first step is to acquire
the services of a foundation repair specialist.
Obtaining a professional opinion
on the causes and available solutions
is a necessary step in securing your settling
foundation.
