A corner of my house sinking. This concrete cylinder piers look so much easy to jack it up and level it. But l just cant find it here in Melbourne. lm thinking to do it myself wit high strength concrete but my concern is would that cop that impact pushing it down. Any advice?? thank you
I think you meant "top" not cop or compensate? If a house on slab that should be enough, if it is pier as in the video they blocked the support frame from underneath then weighted it down with water. Each barrel would weigh 490lbs full of water (barrel plus water).
@@oktbas9197 sorry i I have a dent Lee was looking for the end of the internet when I found this video and saw your comment. Nobody had replied so I figured I would try to help. I'm glad you figured it out and it worked out for you.
Perfect solution for my situation, but what stops the piers from rusting away in the ground water? Also, is this something an ambitious homeowner could do themselves?
There is a 120 year life span on the galvanized posts. An ambitious home owner needs access to the specialized equipment and a structural engineer to design and sign off on any work.
What machine? The hydraulic press? Typical any 15-20/tones will suffice for the job however as counterbalance they did use barrel's full of water...fair enough and clever!
awesome work!!!!!
Omg that looked like SOOOOO much work.
True Professional. Good, Quality work but looks expensive.

That work would cost around $ 20.000 or more .

The concrete blocks are NOT concrete filled. Is this legal in that state? Nor does the house seem to be bolted to the new footing.
The house is obviously dated and would be subject to "the code" at year of build. I think they are ok 🤣. Code...we dont need no stinking code.
Wonder what the price tag on this job was?
The damn foundation should outlast that home by far now!
