Press Piling
Concrete Pour-In-Place Piers Reserved for Pier & Beam Structures, this method is best utilized when overhead access is limited for a drilled pier. With a concrete base below the surface, the pier is formed up with metal reinforcement, which is tied into hurricane straps and bolted to the wooden foundation. Wood beams and joists are generally inspected for damage, and a spot-leveling is required after replacing piers. Deep Drilled Piers Where applicable, deep-drilled bell bottom piers can be installed. This method is utilized when areas of the structure do not warrant the use of a piling. Drill piers are commonly used prior to the construction of a new foundation on pier and beam structures where access from above is available or in situations where the foundation may have not been constructed properly. Mudjacking/Void Filing This method is for correcting smaller slabs of sunken concrete, such as driveways, sidewalks, swimming pool decks, etc. Cementious mixture is pumped beneath a slab or beam to produce a lifting force that restores the slab to its original elevation. Other Methods Since foundation damage and repair has many contributing factors, On the Level utilizes, when needed, other unconventional methods. |
