A Before and After of a Push Pier Installation we did in Oakland to help a home from settling any further.
We installed these push piers within the garage in order to lift and stabilize it from future sinking. The piers were installed on the interior because the homeowner had decorative concrete on the exterior of the garage that they couldn't bear to part with. But, as you see, after the work is done, the push piers can't be seen and it will be like we were never there.
The fast and easy installation of Earthquake Retrofit Brackets can help your home better protect itself against the long-term damage that each quake facilitates.
This home was approved by the Earthquake Brace and Bolt Program (EBB). You don't need to be approved by the EBB program in order to get this kind of work done, but it can give you a substantial rebate if you can get approved for it.
We retrofitted the interior foundation of this home in accordance with the current California Existing Building Code. We installed Simpson Strong-Tie Universal Foundation Plates like the one you see in the After Photo.
We used our NexusPro Sealant to seal up a crack between the foundation and the walkway that was giving moisture a means of travel, saving the home from future foundation issues.
