Birmingham Hydraulic Slab Lift Piers
Offering a Wide Range of Options for Foundation Repair
Ox Foundation Solutions has designed a hydraulic slab lift pier system that's an effective solution for foundation repair. Hydraulic lift slab piers use portable equipment to raise slabs with a jack system. The process saves time and repair costs.
At Ox Foundation Solutions, our Birmingham hydraulic slab lift pier installation services follow a precise and efficient process to ensure the best results:
- Site Evaluation: We begin with a thorough inspection of your foundation to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best locations for the piers.
- Pier Installation: Small holes are drilled into the affected slab, and hydraulic piers are driven deep into the stable soil layers using hydraulic equipment.
- Slab Lifting: Once the piers are securely in place, hydraulic pressure is used to carefully lift the slab back to its original position, restoring the levelness and stability of the structure.
- Final Stabilization: After the slab is lifted, the pier system is locked into place, providing permanent support for your foundation.
What Are Hydraulic Slab Lift Piers?
Hydraulic lift slab piers are a special type of resistance pier for structures on concrete slabs, using the weight of the slab and encompassing the larger structure. This force pushes the pier pipe to load-bearing soil depth. For commercial foundation repair that utilizes hydraulic slab lift piers in Birmingham, count on the professionals at Ox Foundation Solutions.
Key Benefits of Hydraulic Slab Lift Piers:
- Permanent Stability: These piers reach deep into the ground to secure your foundation to more stable soil layers, ensuring long-term support.
- Precise Lifting: Using hydraulic pressure, we can carefully raise the slab to its correct elevation, correcting uneven surfaces.
- Minimal Disruption: The installation process involves minimal excavation, meaning less disruption to your home or landscape.
- Cost-Effective: Hydraulic slab lift piers provide a durable, long-lasting solution, reducing the need for ongoing repairs and maintenance.
Why Do Concrete Slabs Sink or Settle?
Several factors can cause concrete slabs to sink or become uneven over time, including:
- Soil Erosion: Heavy rains and poor drainage can wash away the soil underneath your foundation, leading to sinking.
- Expansive Soils: In Birmingham, the clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry, causing slabs to move and settle unevenly.
- Poor Soil Compaction: If the soil beneath your slab wasn’t properly compacted during construction, it may settle over time, leading to foundation problems.
- Plumbing Leaks: Water from broken pipes can erode the soil beneath the slab, resulting in foundation movement.
