COMMON APPLICATIONS

Beyond product distribution

Foundation Rescue Supply meets geotechnical challenges with structural engineering credentials and a fast-track distribution system. Work with one partner who can add value to your project by offering an engineered opinion, stamped plans, and installation expertise.

Air control

Dehumidification removes excessive moisture from the air, creating a safer, cleaner environment for everyone in the home.

New Construction

Helical piles and related construction products offer rapid and low-impact installation with readily available equipment. Load testing is immediate, and there are no soil spoils.

Basement Waterproofing

A dry home is healthier for everyone. Our products address water intrusion and direct water away to protect the structure of the home.

Crawl Space Encapsultion & Repair

Crawl space encapsulation is a proven method to seal the space beneath the home. Encapsulation creates a clean, dry environment, and when partnered with dehumidification and water control, is a total solution.

Bouncy Floors

Crawl space support jacks stabilize and support sagging or bouncy floors. They provide essential stability to floor joists and main beams, raising floors back towards level and ensuring supplemental support.

Foundation Repair & Renovation

Helical piers and push piers are practical, efficient, and proven solutions for settling foundations. They are ideal for a complete range of challenging soil conditions, including sand, clay, and organic soil.

COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS

Foundation Repair - Helical Piles

Helical piles are practical, efficient and proven solution for settling foundations. They are ideal for a complete range of challenging soil conditions including sand, clay and organic soil. Helical piles are advanced into the soil until the capacity of the helical pile exceeds the weight of the building. Once the helical piles are installed, foundation brackets are attached to the footing of the building in order to transfer the weight of the building to the helical piles deep in the soil.

Foundation Repair- Resistance piers

Resistance piers are especially cost effective in soil conditions where dense or rocky soil conditions are present. Resistance piers utilize the skin friction of the soil in order to repair settling or broken foundations. Foundation brackets are attached to the footing of the building. The resistance piers are installed by attaching hydraulic drive equipment to the bracket in order to push the pier sections into the soil. As the piers are advanced into the soil and the hydraulic pressure is monitored until the skin friction developed exceeds the required capacity.

Tension/Tieback - Helical Piles

Helical piles are ideal for tension applications. Common construction applications include: Sheet pile tiebacks from deep excavations, Retaining wall tiebacks, Guy wire tension anchors, Uplift resistance anchors for temporary or light structures, and Bowing wall repair / straightening. The helical tiebacks are installed at a predetermined angle to be installed beyond the slip (failure) zone of the soil. The hydraulic pressure is monitored during the installation process and the helical tiebacks are installed until the capacity of the tiebacks exceeds the required tension loads.

Boardwalks & Walkways

Helical piles are an ideal solution to support a walkway over sensitive waterfront areas. Helical piles reach deep into the ground to load-bearing strata with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.
