Helical Pier & Push Pier Installation Services in Benicia, CA

The topography of Benicia, including the waterfront residential areas surrounding the First Street and Military East neighborhoods and the hilly environment of Southampton and the topography of the Rose Drive area, creates special foundation issues to residents. Having a combination of bay mud, clay rich soil and sloping residential lots, settlement occurs in many properties overtime. Whether it is caused by seasonal ground movement, movement of moisture and compression of soils; the outcome may be a sinking floor, cracks in walls and uneven foundations.

The houses that are located close to Benicia State Recreation Area, East Benicia, and those neighborhoods that have a view of the Carquinez Strait are particularly susceptible to such problems because they are located close to the soft and moisture-saturated soil. Helical and push piers are good solutions because they secure foundations on stable layers of ground that are deep under the surface. We have customized installation to the soil conditions of Benicia with long term supportive effects in terms of structural support and protection of your home.

How Piers Prevent Foundation Settlement

The foundation settlement takes place when the ground under a house becomes weak or smashes. This is possible within a short period in Benicia in its coastal geography owing to variations in moisture and loose underground soil. Piers do not load these unstable surface layers and distribute the structural load to deeper and more uniform soil or bedrock. This firm gravitation does not allow any additional settlement and makes the house stand.

Piers are also capable of re-hoisting the parts of the foundation back to the original height to restore flat floors and minimize the interior and exterior cracking. As soon as they have been laid down, they offer permanence against seasonal soil movement and the home will be secure irrespective of the weather conditions.

Residential vs. Commercial Pier Applications

The types of engineering strategies applied in the installation of piers vary based on whether the project is a residential or a commercial structure and a knowledge of these varies allows one to provide adequate support in the foundations.

Tailored Solutions for Homes and Light Structures

Uncommon applications of residential pier installation are centered on the rise of sinking areas, foundation stabilization around the perimeter, as well as the settlement of porches, garages and extensions.

Engineered Strength in Bigger Business Buildings

Commercial buildings require large load bearing capacity and deep installation in order to support heavier loads and bigger footprints.

Choosing Materials That Match Structural Needs

The type of steel helical piers or push piers will depend on the strength of the soil, weight distribution, or the performance requirements in the long-term.

Deep anchoring is applied in both residential projects and commercial projects, however, the design of engineering depends on the size of the building and the soil requirements.

What Happens if You Ignore Foundation Settlement?

When untreated, foundation problems aggravate with time. The following can be considered the risks that are posed to homeowners in case settlement is not addressed:

Spreading crack across walls, ceilings and flooring.
Sloping or lumpy floors which become increasingly acute.
Jamming doors and windows that will not latch.
holes developing around baseboards and trim.
Separation of the exterior at chimneys, columns at the porch, or at slabs of the garage.
Slow structural deterioration which makes it more expensive to fix.
Reduced house prices and even security risks.

The neglect of settlement permits the damage to advance until its large-scale reconstruction becomes inevitable. Installation of the pier at an early age helps to avoid all these problems and secure the structural future of your home.

Pier Design and Structural Engineers Cooperation

The most effective form of foundation repair is whereby contractors and structural engineers collaborate. Engineers evaluate the conditions of the soil, estimating the load requirements and determining the quantity and the location of the piers to be used to support the home effectively. Their skills make every pier to be fitted on exact engineering standards.

After the design, our crew carries out the implementation with the assistance of a torque checking, depth checking, and load checking to ensure that every pier is completed according to the specifications of the engineer. The outcome of this partnership is a stable and code-compliant foundation solution, which is highly reliable in the long term.
