Foundation Repair - Pressed Piers

We only install standard pressed concrete cylinder piers. Pressed concrete cylinders are the most durable over time, most affordable piers to install, and are generally the best type of foundation piers for most structures in our area.

Foundation Repair





Foundation repair is the process of lifting, leveling, or stabilizing the foundation with foundation piers or other foundation repair solutions after the foundation settles or moves. Foundation movement and settling occurs when there are changes in the moisture in the soil due to water/sewage leaks or drought conditions, and tend to cause foundation settling cracks to form in the concrete, in the sheetrock, and in the masonry walls. These foundation settling cracks should not be repaired until the foundation repair is complete.

In most foundation repair methods, holes are dug around the concrete foundation allowing the foundation repair crew to install the foundation piers under the house foundation. This is true of most types of piers. After the holes are dug, the foundation piers are pressed into the soil until they reach the point of rejection. The point of rejection is the point where the pier will not press any further into the soil and begins to lift the foundation. At this point, the foundation is lifted to level and shimmed in place to hold the foundation level at the grade. Then the holes for each foundation pier are filled in with the dirt.

After the foundation repair, you can repair the foundation settling cracks. The settling cracks in the brick and mortar will require matching the mortar. To match mortar for mortar repair and brick repair, you need to have the mortar tested. Mortar testing and analysis are used to determine the mortar type and formula. Then a mortar color match can be made, and the exact formula for making a matching mortar. AMR Labs provides mortar analysis, mortar matching, mortar repair products, and brick repair products including bags of custom mortar.
