On a slab home
First, we will mark off the area of the home where the work will take place. We will place plywood
down to protect the grass. If there are plants and shrubs we will remove them if necessary and
replaced them once we are finished.

Next, holes are dug by hand where the piling are to be located. If concrete is in this area we
will use a jack hammer to access holes.

Each date upon completion the holes made, each will be covered and marked.

On a pilings home
Pilings will be installed by using a hydraulic ram and pump. The 6”x12” concrete cylinder is
pressed into the ground by using the weight of the home then a section of pile guard is
used to conjoin the two cylinders. The process is repeated until refusal occurs.
Refusal is when there is more pressure coming from the ground then the home.

Leveling
Once each piling has been driven jacks will be place on each one of the piling caps. Elevations
will be taken on the inside of the structure that is being brought back to as near level as possible.
Once the home is level, or as near the original elevation as possible, one of the hydraulic jacks
is removed and replaced with a concrete cylinder. Any nominal space left between the pier
and the exterior grade beam is procured with steel spacers. The second jack is the removed
and the process is repeated until all piers are secure against the exterior grade beam
surrounding the home.

Backfill
The dirt previously removed is then returned to the holes it was excavated from. Any surface
concrete breakthroughs are filled and patched.

Cleaning
Trees, shrubs and other vegetation are returned to their original positions and all materials,
dirt and debris is taken away.
