Photo Album: Settling Foundation in Milton

Matt S. called with an issue with wall cracks in his poured concrete foundation. Initially Omni thought is was just shrinkage cracks but our expert installer recognized that something else was going on. Omni employed an engineer to come up with the right solution. He found that the foundation had in fact settled in one corner and was causing the problems. Omni Basement Systems got to work and installed our own patented Push Pier system to properly support the foundation.

Log

Pressures are logged along the way so that we know when we have reached the right amount of support and have a record of it.

Lift procedure

Once all piers are installed, we can add lift cylinder "daisy chained" together in order to lift the house back in place. Cylinders can be turned on or off depending on where the lift needs to be done.
