Photo Album: Stabilization of a foundation in Varennes, Qc
The foundation of this house in Varennes needed to be repaired since it was not settled.
We have permanently stabilized this home's foundation through the Push Pier System that utilizes high-strength round steel tubes and a load transfer bracket to stabilize and/or lift sinking or settling foundations.
The patented Push Pier system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation. In many cases it can even lift your home back to level.
Galvanized steel tube sections are hydraulically driven through steel foundation brackets to reach the depths of competent load-bearing strata. They're locked into place and the weight of your home is transferred from the original, unstable soils, through the piers, to the competent soil or bedrock.
