The Perma-Jack® System: The Permanent Solution

Due to the normal movement, settlement, expansion and contraction of the supporting soil, buildings and their foundations may be disrupted and cause cracks or settlement in the structures. The solution is the Perma-Jack® System, which provides correction to qualified settlement problems. Perma-Jack is a frictionless steel pier system used to stabilize the foundations of settling structures, such as houses or buildings and some porches. Steel piers are driven to bedrock, or equal load bearing strata, providing unvarying support, unlike many other piers and anchoring systems. Perma-Jack Company introduced the first remedial steel pier stabilization system available. The system was invented in 1974 and patented (U.S. patent No. 3,902,326, September 2, 1975) by George Langenbach, the founder of Perma-Jack Co., and has remained a privately owned business over the last 26 years. The Perma-Jack® System has provided a dependable, quality, low–impact solution for foundation stabilization. While others make claims, Perma-Jack has been the most reliable and the longest operating remedial steel pier system in use today.
