Foundation Repair Using Concrete Pilings
The Foundation Repair Process for Concrete Pilings
At each piling location, we will hand dig a hole that is approximately two feet square. Any plants, which may be in the way, are relocated.
After plants are relocated and hand dug holes are completed, we will begin to install the pilings. Each pile section is hydraulically driven beneath the foundation, adding as many sections as necessary, to reach bedrock or refusal. When necessary, a High-Pressure Water Jet System is used to loosen soils so each piling can reach its’ maximum depth, 1/2 inch
rebar is then inserted through the pilings to ensure proper alignment.
After all pilings are installed, the leveling process begins. Excess and/or added mortar and caulking will be removed in order to allow the brick to return to their original positions. Elevations will be taken before, during, and after the leveling process.
When all leveling is completed, the holes are then backfilled, mortar joints repaired, the windows and doors caulked, concrete replaced, and plants are replanted. All areas are then washed or swept.
Unless interior pilings are installed, we will only need access inside your home during the leveling process. We will need access to your water, electricity, and breaker box at all times during the repair process.

The typical process of repair includes replacing any rotted wood ensuring the floor is structurally sound and verifying footings are in good condition.
Jacks are positioned in the appropriate areas. The girder beams are shimmed to achieve the best possible result for the homeowner.
Drainage
Poor drainage is a common cause of foundation problems in the Fort Worth area. In some cases, poor drainage can contribute to foundation movement.
This can be corrected by regrading the yard surface with a swale.
Permits and Engineering
We are very familiar with the permit process. We ensure it is taken care of in a timely and efficient manner.
If you plan on selling your home in the next year we highly recommend having a licensed Structural Engineer write a report both before and after your repairs.
