[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3211396, member: 43724"] When a house settles the foundation can split away from the floor slab, causing cracks on the walls both inside and outside. To fix this they attach a metal bracket to the foundation wall, using a hydraulic jack to insert metal piping into the ground until it hits bedrock and lifts the foundation wall back up. Due to our clay soil in OK a large majority of houses will need piering within 20 years of being built. Some houses were built with piers already in place when the foundation was poured. Typically piers run 400-800 apiece depending on the company and method of installation. [/QUOTE]
