Foundation repair, day 3

Today was the biggie, where the house got lifted!  I arrived at 8am to let the crew in and they got busy right away.

Foundation repair, day 2

Today the interior piers were drilled.  I stayed home only briefly to let them in and they started drilling in the garage first. 

We had a large thunderstorm roll through early this morning which ended up filling our external piers with water

The workers had to bail water out of the holes since our clay soil doesn't allow much drainage

they did a great job covering the office in plastic

Foundation repair, Day 1

After years of putting it off and trying to decide what we wanted to do, we decided to have our foundation repaired.  We had 7 companies come out for an estimate but decided to go with Superior based on a recommendation from my aunt and uncle who had work done by them before.


They arrived right at 8am and began work immediately.  We agreed on 22 exterior piers and 6 interior piers (all steel).  The crew worked hard in the June heat, completing all 22 exterior holes in 8 hours.
