Helical Pile Repair
The helical pile repair method Ram Jack of North Carolina offers is a trusted and effective solution for slab foundations. It involves the installation of helical piles, which are steel shafts with helical plates. Here's how the process works.
1 Evaluation
Ram Jack of North Carolina's experienced professionals will evaluate your slab foundation to determine the underlying causes of the issues. This evaluation includes a thorough inspection and assessment of the soil conditions, signs of settlement, and any visible damage.
2 Installation
Once the evaluation is complete, helical piles are strategically installed around the perimeter or beneath the affected areas of your slab foundation. These piles are driven deep into the stable soil layers, providing support and preventing further settlement.
3 Load Transfer
The weight of the foundation is then transferred to the helical piles, relieving the pressure on the compromised areas of the slab. This process helps stabilize the foundation and prevents future damage.
4 Recovery
The helical piles from Ram Jack are specifically engineered to raise and support your slab foundation for maximum practical recovery. This provides a permanent solution and stops any future settlement.
Driven Pile Repair
Ram Jack of North Carolina also offers the driven pile repair method for slab foundations that have experienced settlement issues. This method utilizes steel push piles to restore stability to your foundation. The process involves the following steps.
-
Evaluation
Similar to the helical pile repair, an in-depth evaluation of your slab foundation is conducted to assess the extent and causes of settlement. Ram Jack of North Carolina's team will inspect the foundation, analyze soil conditions, and identify any signs of damage or distress.
- Pile Installation
Steel push piles are then driven into the ground beneath the slab, reaching deep into stable soil or load-bearing strata. These plies are hydraulically pushed into place, providing support and lifting the settled areas of the slab.
-
Load Transfer
Once the piles are installed, the weight of the foundation is transferred to the piles, relieving the stress on the compromised sections. This process helps restore the levelness and stability of the slab foundation.
- Finishing Touches
After the driven pile installation, Ram Jack of North Carolina's experts will ensure the affected areas of the slab foundation are repaired and restored. This may involve filling cracks, leveling the surface, and addressing any cosmetic issues.
