A brick home had suffered significant foundation settlement, causing the veneer to crack and shift out of alignment. Initially, the homeowners thought they would need to tear down the entire veneer to address the issue, a decision compounded by the stress of knowing their brick was no longer made. However, Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs evaluated the situation and assured the homeowner the brick could be saved. We recommended the use of push pier brackets in conjunction with a lateral hydraulic push system to restore the foundation and prevent a complete teardown and replacement.
How Can Push Pier Brackets and a Lateral Hydraulic Push System Help With Foundation Settlement?
Push pier brackets and hydraulic push systems work together to lift the foundation back to its original position and stabilize it.
The brackets are made from steel and are mounted on the foundation wall to provide a stable base for push pier installation. A push pier is a steel pier that is hydraulically driven into the ground to provide support for a settling foundation. Anglin’s Foundation & Masonry Repairs creates custom push pier brackets for superior results.
The lateral hydraulic push system uses hydraulic jacks to lift the foundation of a brick home. The jacks are positioned at strategic points along the foundation and hydraulic pressure is then applied to the jacks. This causes them to lift the foundation and level it.
While each situation is unique, push pier brackets and a lateral hydraulic push system are often a cost-effective alternative to other methods of foundation repair, and preserve the aesthetics and charm of your home.
