No music. No voiceover. Just the raw sounds of foundation repair!
Watch and listen as our crew backfills an excavation beneath a house following foundation repair work.
From the sound of the wheelbarrow to the soil and rocks falling into the opening, sometimes the simplest parts of construction are the most satisfying to watch.
This is part of the work that happens after installing deep steel piers beneath a foundation.
Headphones recommended!
Is this oddly satisfying, or is it just us?

Watch the brick wall closely. You're about to see a house move!
What looks like a permanent crack in a house can sometimes visibly close as the foundation is hydraulically lifted.
In this video, our crew works beneath the foundation, carefully raising the settled section while monitoring the structure's response.
As the foundation moves upward, portions of the brickwork can move back toward their previous positions, reducing visible separation.
But here's something most people don't realize:
Closing cracks doesn't automatically mean the foundation is repaired. The real engineering happens beneath the house, where properly designed support systems must transfer structural loads into suitable supporting ground.
The movement is impressive. The mechanics behind it are even more interesting!

Watch What Happens When We LIFT It!

Sometimes, to fix something, the process has to look worse before it gets better.
This is one of the most challenging foundation repairs we've encountered.
The house was poorly constructed, and over the past year, severe settlement caused extensive structural damage. Portions of the concrete foundation deteriorated and broke apart as the structure continued to move.
The customer needed a solution, but more extensive reconstruction options were far beyond their budget.
Our objective was to address the ongoing settlement and establish a more reliable support system within those constraints.
Here's what we're dealing with:
Steel push piers installed to an average depth of approximately 22 feet.
Hydraulic installation pressures of approximately 5,000 PSI.
A 25-ton hydraulic ram, with available installation force limited by the deteriorated foundation.
Severely damaged concrete sections that no longer provide the structural continuity and reaction resistance of an intact foundation.
Normally, the weight and integrity of the structure help provide the reaction force needed to hydraulically advance steel push piers. However, when a foundation has broken into relatively lightweight, disconnected sections, that reaction becomes limited.
This creates an engineering challenge: Although the piers extend much deeper than the near-surface soils associated with the settlement, depth and hydraulic pressure alone cannot establish their allowable capacity.
The effectiveness of the repair also depends on the supporting soil, actual pier capacity, structural connections, and how loads are transferred from the damaged foundation into the new support system.
Our goal is to improve the foundation's support and arrest the ongoing settlement while working within the property's structural and financial limitations.
Not every foundation repair is straightforward, and not every situation allows for an ideal solution. What matters is understanding the mechanics, recognizing the limitations, and making informed engineering decisions.
This is just part of the process.

Watch closely as we hydraulically drive a steel push pier deep beneath a house!
Each steel section advances into the ground as our hydraulic equipment works against increasing soil resistance.
But here's something most people don't realize:
We're actually using the weight of the house to help push the steel pier underground!
Once installed, these piers become part of a deep foundation support system designed to transfer structural loads into suitable supporting ground.
How deep do you think these steel piers can go?

Watch closely! This steel pipe is being hydraulically driven deep into the ground beneath a house!
Our crew installs connected steel push-pier sections, using hydraulic force to advance the pier against the resistance of the surrounding ground.
As installation progresses, the steel pier becomes part of a deep foundation support system designed to transfer structural loads into suitable supporting strata.
But here's what surprises most people:
The weight of the house itself helps provide the reaction force to push the steel underground!

You see the house above ground… but the real engineering happens underneath!
Watch this foundation repair from start to finish as our crew excavates beneath the house, hydraulically drives deep steel piers into the ground, and installs the supports used to stabilize and lift the foundation.
These steel piers are designed to transfer structural loads into stronger supporting ground, helping correct settlement and provide long-term foundation support.
But here's the question everyone keeps asking:
How can these steel pipes support the weight of an entire house? And what stops it from sinking again?
The answer involves hydraulics, soil mechanics, and structural engineering!

Watch as our crew excavates below the foundation, positions the hydraulic equipment, and drives connected steel pipes deeper into the ground.
But here's something most people don't realize:
The house itself helps provide the reaction force needed to push the steel piers underground!
As hydraulic pressure is applied, the steel advances against soil resistance. The installed pier system is designed to transfer foundation loads into suitable supporting ground.
And once the installation and lifting are complete, the permanent pier supports remain beneath the foundation.
Would you have guessed that's how this works?

You're watching an entire house being lifted. But the most important part of this repair is happening deep underground!
Watch as we hydraulically drive steel piers into the ground, monitor increasing installation resistance, and carefully lift the foundation onto its new support system.
The hydraulic jacks lift the house—but they don't stay there. The installed steel piers provide the permanent support.
Lifting a house is only half the job. Making sure it stays supported is where the real engineering begins.
And here's the question we see in our comments all the time:
“Won't the house just sink again?”

Watch closely! This steel pier is being hydraulically driven deep beneath a house, and the pressure is climbing toward 10,000 PSI!
As the pier advances through the ground, resistance increases until we reach our installation stopping criteria.
But here's something most people don't realize:
Does 10,000 PSI mean we've reached bedrock? Or can the ground provide that resistance without hitting rock?
The answer involves soil mechanics, hydraulic force, and deep foundation engineering!
Watch the pipe AND the pressure gauge. Did you catch both?
