Once a stable depth has been reached, a bracket is installed on the steel shaft and then the load-bearing weight is transferred onto the piers, stabilizing your home.
These piering systems provide a number of advantages that make them a perfect, cost-effective solution for your settling foundations. Thanks to their design, they are highly resistant to bending, which makes them perfect for both light and heavy loads.
