This foundation repair job in Victoria, TX was a very large effort. Our crews installed a total 38 Bell Bottom Piers and 14 of these were interior piers. Unfortunately, when the soil under the center portion of the foundation is not properly compacted by the builder or when there is a sewer line leak, then the soil will “settle” and compact itself over time. When that happens the soil loses contact with the bottom of the foundation and the foundation has lost its support. The only solution is to install piers in the interior of the structure to provide the necessary support. Then any existing voids will be filled with a concrete and soil mixture, a process called mud pumping.
