Push Piers vs Other Methods
Methods 1, 2, and 3: These methods are placed in or around the earth that caused the foundation failure in the first place. Shrinking or settling of the earth below the new supports will allow the foundation to sink again over time. The project time completion is also near doubled that of our push pier method.
Method 4: Push Piers are always to rock or an equal load bearing strata by actual load test of each pier installed.

Advantages of Push Pier Foundation Stabilization Repairs:
The Magnum push pier system we use forces steel piles all the way down to bedrock or equivalent load bearing strata. Many other systems simply reinforce the foundation by using concrete as a spacer between it and the earth at a slightly lower level.
Depending upon existing soil conditions, concrete foundations can continually shift and settle. The system we use will stabilize your house or building on bedrock or equal load bearing strata. Each pile is individually load tested to prevent future vertical settlement of your foundation in the areas where the Magnum system has been installed.
The Magnum push pier system is much faster than traditional methods of underpinning and stabilizing because there is less excavating. Jobs take on average, one to two weeks to complete. Additionally, when the push pier systems are tested, they are immediately locked off in place without waiting for concrete to harden. Hence, repair time is greatly reduced.
Installation Advantages:
Magnum Push Piers can be installed from either the inside or the outside of your building so there usually is no extensive excavation required, and the system can be installed year round. In most cases, only minimal excavation is necessary. Huge drill rigs and excavation equipment are not needed, so disruption to exterior landscaping is minimized.
