Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about foundation piering in Philadelphia, PA.
Foundation Piering Philadelphia, PA
The Mechanics of Deep Foundation Piering in Philadelphia
Philadelphia’s historical construction practices frequently placed foundation footings on unconsolidated fill, demolished brick debris, or alluvial silt deposits near river corridors. Over decades, fluctuations in the water table and soil dry-shrinkage cause these sub-grades to compress under building loads. Foundation piering utilizes hydraulic rams braced against the structure's own mass to press rigid tubular steel columns down to competent mica schist or solid limestone, establishing an immovable vertical foundation column.
