David in Caledonia, ON called Omni Basement Systems to repair a couple wall cracks in his basement.
With a close inspection of the property, the system design specialist believed there was a cause for a greater concern. This is when the customer agreed to hire an Engineer to look at the property. An appointment was made with an outside engineering firm. The engineer confirmed that there was in fact some settlement in the foundation of the property. When settlement occurs, the footings will crack in most likely 2 places and these cracks will go all the way up through the foundation wall and the brick façade.
The engineer did up drawing along with a plan to lift the foundation back into place using a Push Pier system. Push Piers are an eccentric support system that is attached to the footing of the home and then Stainless steel tubes are push through the bracket down into the soil until the reach bed rock or ground supporting strata. The depth of the piers are never determined before hand but instead the engineer will recommend a pressure that the hydraulic cylinders much reach. When the tubes are being pushed, the pressure is checked every two feet. These pressures are recorded on a chart for the engineer.
To begin, the exterior of the house is excavated. This not only allows access to the footing but it also takes the weight of the soil off of the footing to be lifted. Next a heavy galvanized steel bracket is attached to the footing. The bracket has a hole where push tubes are pushed through. When each tube reaches the specific pressure that the engineer is looking for, it is capped off so it now is supporting the footing. IF lifting the foundation is required, smaller cylinders can be attached tot he top of the tubes and these hydraulic cylinders can be used to raise the footings of the home back into original position. Once the city is in agreement that the house has been lifted and the piers have reached the engineers specifications, the walls can be water proofed and then the soil can be put back into the perimeter of the foundation.
