For homes and light commercial buildings, concrete pilings are concrete columns that are  pushed into the ground under a foundation.

Concrete Piers are a great option for many of our clients – who own or operate residential home or light commercial property. These pier piling are placed beneath structural braces (for raised homes) or along the edges of your foundation’s “beam.”

Designed for rapid repair, our concrete piers can be utilized the day of their installation. There is not “setting period” required for the piers to gain their strength. They will hold and lift your foundation on the day we install them.

Additionally, Concrete Pressed Piers are cheaper to install then Steel Pressed Piers. They also have a proven record of performance and is backed by our Transferrable Lifetime Warranty. 

This type of repair is a solid choice for many of our clients and one that we recommend as a standard solution for most repair application. In addition to concrete pressed piers, our team also offers Steel Pressed Piers as a upgrade or even Polyurethane Foam Injection for a premier repair product.

About this Process

Following a simple, straight forward process, we gain access to the “beam” of your foundation by excavating along the perimeter of your foundation. Once we’ve dug a man-sized hole, we place a concrete pier and utilize a hydraulic jack to press the pier downward into the earth. 

We follow this process one after another until we reach a strong enough based to “lift”  your house to level. We then finish each pier with a Top Cap and Shims to form a permanent pier solution for each piling.

For homes and light commercial buildings, concrete pilings are concrete columns that are  pushed into the ground under a foundation.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What are the advantages of Concrete Pressed Piers?” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ custom_margin=”1px||1px||true” open=”off”]

Concrete pilings have several advantages:

 

  1. They are fast to install (drilled piers take twice as long to install).
  2. Once they are installed, they can be used right away (concrete drilled piers must harden for a week before they can be used).
  3. They are cheaper than steel pilings.
  4. They have a proven record of performance.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do you offer a warranty?” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ custom_margin=”1px||1px||true” open=”off”]

Advocate Foundation Repair offers a transferrable lifetime warranty on its concrete pilings.  There are no ifs, ands, or buts; the warranty remains valid as long as it is transferred from owner to owner.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How long do Concrete Pressed Piers last?” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ custom_margin=”1px||1px||true” open=”off”]

It is simple, concrete pilings will last as long as your concrete foundation.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How are they installed?” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ custom_margin=”1px||1px||true” open=”off”]

The installation process is simple:

 

  1. In each location where a piling is going to be installed, a hole is dug next to the foundation.  Each hole is about the size of a doormat.  The holes go down 2 feet below the bottom of your foundation.
  2. Next, a concrete cylinder is placed in the bottom of a hole and under the foundation.
  3. A high power hydraulic ram is then placed on top of the cylinder.  The ram sits on the cylinder and the top of the ram touches the bottom of the foundation.
  4. The ram is activated and used to push the cylinder down into the soil.  The pressure applied to the cylinder will often exceed 50,000 pound!
  5. Once a cylinder is driven all the way into the ground, another cylinder is set on top of the first cylinder.
  6. The second cylinder is the pushed into the ground, driving the first cylinder before it.
  7. The process is repeated until no more cylinders can be driven.
  8. Finally, a cap is placed on the top of the column and two concrete cylinders are placed on top of the cap.
  9. When all of the cylinders are driven, hydraulic jacks are placed on the caps and are used to lift the foundation.
  10. Once the foundation is lifted, steel and concrete spacers are placed on the cap to support the foundation, and the hydraulic jacks are removed.
  11. The final step is to cover the pilings and clean up.

[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What if I need Concrete Pressed Piers in my home?” _builder_version=”4.7.4″ _module_preset=”default” open=”off”]

Concrete pilings can be installed by cutting holes in your floor and then digging down beside the interior grade beams.  Of course, this is terribly messy, and can destroy expensive tile and wood floors.

An alternative is to dig tunnels under your home, and install the pilings from the tunnels.  If tunnels are used to install interior pilings, you can stay in your home while the work is being done and your floors will not have holes cut in them!
