How The System Works

An opening is made adjacent to the foundation and enough dirt is removed so that the Perma-Jack Bracket, the core element of the system... can be placed under the foundation. This Bracket, a strong structural steel weldment, is permanently installed under the foundation. Next, a pier formed from one or more pipe support columns is placed through the bracket. These pipe support columns are aligned and tightly connected by a column connector.

Hydraulic pressure is then applied to force the pier into the ground until it reaches bedrock or equal load bearing strata. The hydraulic equipment that is used for this operation is capable of testing each pier at a predetermined amount of force - yet it operates quietly... at a maximum of 80 decibels.

Pier support columns are connected and forced into the soil to form a sturdy, stable steel pier reaching as deep as necessary to contact solid bedrock or equal load bearing strata. The competency of the bearing material is verified by the nature of the tested installation. Steel piers are positioned wherever needed under the structure to effectively support the foundation.
