Piering is the cost effective alternative
to conventional pile-driven foundation restoration methods. When they're
properly installed, piers can stabilize a home that is slowly sliding
down a hill, prevent a building from sinking into unstable soil, or restore
a cracked basement wall that is on the verge of collapsing. Raise-Rite
uses two types of piers to stabilize and
restore questionable foundations:
Resistance Pier Systems not only stop settlement, but
also restore the foundation and structure, in most cases, to the original
level position. Using portable equipment, Resistance Piers are hydraulically
pushed to rock or a measured design load strength. These piers are manufactured
under strict quality standards for workmanship and materials and are installed
only by qualified contractors. They eliminate the need for
repeat repairs and are covered by a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
Helical Systems are ideal for stabilizing foundations
and slabs built on questionable soil, as well as seismic protection, tieback
anchoring, deadman anchoring, and fixture anchoring. Helical Piers
are easily installed even in tight areas and can be used with Resistance Piers
for increased stability. Helical Piers are removable and
reusable for temporary applications. Manufactured under strict quality
standards, they are installed only by experienced contractors.
