Have you seen any wall cracks? Do your windows and doors seem to be difficult to open or close? Perhaps you've observed that your floors are uneven or slanted? It could be time to install foundation piers for your home if you have noticed any of these symptoms. By stabilizing your house with Acculift and stopping additional damage, foundation piering can assist in resolving possible foundation problems. Even though it can be difficult to tell if a home requires foundation piers, watching out for these indicators could help you avoid having to pay for more costly repairs down the road. At Acculift, our team specializes in both push and helical piering to help with foundational repair. We are ready to assess your specific situation and provide you with the best possible solution for you, your family and your home.
Push piers are an indispensable foundation solution that provides critical support for both residential and commercial structures experiencing settlement issues. These steel supports are engineered to transfer the structure's weight from unstable soil to solid bedrock or stable soil layers deep underground. Their versatility makes them ideal for various applications, from stabilizing settling homes to supporting industrial facilities and preserving historical buildings. What sets push piers apart is their minimal disruption during installation, requiring only small excavation areas while delivering superior results. The hydraulic installation process ensures quick project completion, making them a cost-effective alternative to complete foundation replacement. Their durability and strength provide long-term stability, effectively preventing future settlement issues in various soil conditions and geographical locations. Whether dealing with slab or basement foundations, push piers offer a reliable, non-invasive solution that ensures your structure's foundation remains secure and stable for years to come.
Helical piers represent an innovative deep foundation solution that combines efficiency with reliability for both new construction and existing structure stabilization. These specialized supports consist of a steel shaft with helical plates (similar to screws) that are mechanically driven into the ground to transfer structural loads to stable soil layers. What makes them particularly valuable is their versatile installation process, which begins with a thorough site assessment to determine optimal depth requirements. Using hydraulic or mechanical torque motors, these piers are precisely installed while monitoring torque levels to ensure proper load-bearing capacity. Their design offers numerous advantages, including immediate structural support upon installation, minimal site disruption due to reduced excavation needs, and adaptability to various soil conditions. This environmentally conscious solution not only provides cost-effective foundation stabilization but also delivers long-term durability for both residential and commercial applications. Through careful torque monitoring and professional installation, helical piers effectively address foundation issues while offering property owners a reliable, non-invasive method for ensuring their structure's stability.
While both helical and push piers are used for foundation stabilization, they have distinct differences. Helical piers are screwed into the ground, whereas push piers are hydraulically driven into the soil. This difference in installation affects the types of soil each pier is best suited for. Helical piers are ideal for softer, more unstable soils where additional anchorage is required. Push piers are better suited for conditions where they can be driven to a more stable layer. Helical piers distribute the load more evenly due to their screw-like design, which engages with more soil volume compared to push piers. Helical piers often allow for faster installation and immediate load-bearing, making them suitable for time-sensitive projects.
