STEEL PIERS
 
 
  
PANKEY FOUNDATION REPAIR
 
 
 
 
  When a foundation begins to settle, it will continue to do 
  so. Some homes will settle faster than others depending 
  on the construction of the home. The sooner the 
  settlement problem is addressed the less damage will 
  occur and the less money you as a home owner will 
  spend.
 
 
  Settlement problems can all lead up to 
  needing underpinning piers. Piers are 
  designed to give new support to structures 
  that have lost their existing support/integrity. 
  Steel piers are steel pilings hydraulically driven 
  under the foundation footing to bedrock or 
  load bearing strata. The weight of the structure 
  is then transferred to the steel piers and off 
  the unstable soil. Steel piers will result in either 
  stabilization (no further movement to the 
  foundation) or return the foundation to pre-
  settlement condition. Many factors will 
  determine the final outcome but usually it is 
  limited to the integrity of the structure.

  A hole is excavated adjacent to 
  the foundation wall and to the 
  bottom of the foundation 
  footing at each location where 
  a foundation pier is specified.
 
 
  Steel pipe is then hydraulically 
  pushed under the foundation 
  footing until bedrock or load 
  bearing strata is reached.
 
 
  A hydraulic lifting jack will then 
  be used to either raise the 
  foundation or stabilize it in its 
  current position.
 
 
  The pier is then locked into 
  position and the hole is 
  backfilled.

SIGNS OF 
  SETTLEMENT
 
 
  Soil in the Kansas City Area can contain 
  expensive clay. In the rainy seasons the 
  moisture content of the clay soil increases and 
  therefore the soil expands. In the summer 
  months the clay will dry up and the soil will 
  retract (similar to a sponge drying up.) As the 
  moisture content of the soil decreases 
  foundation footings and walls will start to shift 
  and settle.
