Helical Pier & Push Pier Installation Services in Concord, CA

In the landscape of Concord there are homes on hillsides at Turtle Creek, other homes close to Lime Ridge Open Space and older residential areas around Downtown, Todos Santos and Clayton Roads, all constructed on soils that change with change of seasons. Much clay, variable moisture conditions, and settlement over time may result in foundation sinking, tilting or cracking. Houses along the sides of Walnut Creek, Cowell, or the undulating land of the east side of Concord, are frequently subject to settlement by shrinking summer soil and swelling winter ground.

Helical piers and push piers offer deep and effective foundation support whether your property is close to Dana Estates, Sun Terrace or neighborhoods that are situated close to the foothills. Homes become fixed in the stratifying soil layer beneath the unstable surface to stabilize settlement and strengthen weakened structures through our systems. Each and every installation is designed to withstand the soil conditions of Concord and provides long time protection and regained stability.

How Long Does Pier Installation Take?

The question that arises among the homeowners is how long it would take to stabilize their foundation. The following are some factors that influence the time of installation:

The number of piers required to carry or put up the structure.
Density and depth of stable load-bearing layers of soil.
Equipment accessibility within the area.
Push piers or helical or both are needed.
Excavation weather conditions.
Home structural complexity.
Reinforcement or lifting adjustment required.

The majority of Concord pier installations require completion within a few days and they provide effective, fast stabilization on sinking foundations.

The Best Time of Year to Install Piers

Helical and push piers may be installed at any time of the year however, there are times of the year when the soil and the ground conditions are better suited. The dry season in Concord, late spring into early fall gives better excavation and easier installation. Dry soil enables the equipment to move around work areas without causing much disturbance.
But here is one of the advantages of modern piers, their elasticity. In particular, helical piers may be put in place in wet months as they screw in the soil with torque instead of compaction. This enables repairs to be undertaken during winter and early spring to homes that have rapid settlement levels especially during the rainy season. Your home can also be indicated as sinking, and then you need not wait to have the perfect weather to install.

Foundation Settlement Warning Signs

It is easier to correct foundation movement when it is detected in the early stages. To have a good stabilization system, you have to identify the early signs that may tell you that your house is moving.

Cracks Indoors and Framework Inequality

The cracks that develop around doorways, ceiling, or stairwell may indicate the lack of support under the foundations, particularly in the clay-heavy soils near Concord.

Outside Warning Signs

Broken windows, gaps between the bricks, and even leaning chimneys are usually indicators of areas in the house that are sinking.

Floors and Doorways Change

Sloping floors, jamming doors, and an uneven threshold are some of the first signs that settlement is taking place and under the building.
