Push Pier Foundation Stabilization in Altadena, CA
Challenge
A homeowner in Altadena needed to stabilize a settling foundation footing to help protect the structural integrity of the home. Over time, unstable soil conditions beneath the property had reduced support beneath portions of the foundation, increasing the risk of settlement and structural movement.
During the inspection, the foundation repair specialists at Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair identified areas where the footing required permanent reinforcement to prevent continued movement and maintain long-term stability. Foundation settlement caused by shifting soils is a common issue throughout Southern California and can lead to cracking walls, uneven floors, sticking doors and windows, and additional structural damage if left untreated.
Solution
To permanently secure the home’s foundation, the team at Saber Foundation & Concrete Repair installed a heavy-duty push pier foundation repair system beneath the affected footing areas.
The crew excavated around the settling foundation and attached steel push piers directly to the footing. These piers were hydraulically advanced deep into stable load-bearing soil beneath the weaker upper soil layers responsible for the settlement.
Once installed, the push pier system permanently transferred the structural load of the home onto more stable soil conditions, helping stabilize the footing and reduce the risk of future foundation movement.
By installing push piers beneath the foundation, the team provided the homeowner with a long-term structural stabilization solution designed to permanently reinforce the home and protect it against continued settlement issues.
