How We Repair Foundation Settlement
BDB uses the industry’s leading house settlement system to lift, level and repair homes.
SafeBasements SafeBase Push Pier system transfers the weight of the house to load-bearing soil like bedrock. This system can lift the house back into place and stop the foundation from settling any further. SafeBase is a permanent repair solution with a 25 year warranty. This is how the SafeBase Pier System works:
Excavate to the bottom of the foundation footing.
Attach the SaberTooth bracket, made of industrial strength steel to the footing.
Force a steel pipe past the unstable soil until we hit the pressure needed to stabilize the foundation
Lift cylinders are used to lift and level the building.
Cylinders are removed and the trench is filled
