Photo Album: Raise settling foundation in Oakville, ON

Pankaj in Oakville, noticed stair cracking in the mortar joints in his house. There were also cracking in the drywall above the basement. The root cause of these cracks is that an area of the footing has cracked and has settled. This is a real problem in a house. Doors will stick, windows wont open and drywall will crack. Omni Basement Systems installed a product called Push Piers. Push piers are a system that is bolted to the footing and then piers are driven down through the soil until it reaches bedrock or harder supporting soil. Once the piers are in place, the house can be lifted back into place. These piers will act as supplemental support for the footing.
