A home in Rochester, Illinois, had a foundation that was starting to settle. Cracks started to appear on the exterior walls of the home, indicating moving ground soils. Woods came out and installed some new supports to rectify the issue. The Push Pier System will permanently stabilize the home's settling foundation and in many cases, raise it back up. Engineered steel tube sections are driven through steel foundation brackets, past unstable soils, to the solid bedrock beneath it. This will transfer the home's weight evenly on solid ground, rather than the unstable soils supporting it previously. With this installation in place, this home should be stable for decades into the future.
