Step 1: Shoring
Temporary “shoring” is placed under your home’s existing beams. Typically skirting is removed.
Step 2: Pier and Beam Foundation Repair Bastrop Installation
A two-foot by two-foot hole is dug below grade for the footing. Rebar is tied together inside the footing and concrete is poured to a height of 12”. Rebar extends up from the center of the pad for pier installation.
Step 3: Leveling
Hydraulic jacks are used to manually level the home under the direction of the Field Superintendent, who monitors the reaction of the structure and interior elevation readings throughout the process.
Step 4: Pier Pouring
Sonotube forms are cut to span from the top of the previously-poured footing to the new height of the level beam. Concrete is hand-poured into each form.
Step 5: Completion
Forms used for pouring are stripped away. Any nominal space between the top of the pier and the beam is secured with steel shims. Holes are backfilled.
