The foundation can periodically require repairs and these are rather forced measures aimed at maintaining its main functions, as well as ensuring the safety of the operation of the building. At the same time, when the repair work no longer bring the proper result, a complete replacement of the foundation is required the price of such a procedure is always higher, but it allows the design to last more than one decade with the same efficiency. This replacement can be easily made independently if there is a necessary tool and minimal skills. But if there was no need to encounter such work before, then it makes sense to contact specialists who will do everything as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Preparation
Preparatory work to replace the base little resembles the construction of the foundation for the house, here it is required to use hydraulic jacks that can withstand the load of more than 10 tons. In order not to make such an expensive purchase, it makes sense to rent a device in a railway depot for a very attractive price. The rest of the tools are selected by the master himself, depending on what exactly it is planned to dismantle the old foundation. At the same time, raising the house is required to be at least half a meter. At this moment, any furniture or personal belongings should be absent in the house.
Rise the house with jacks
It is important not to forget to fix the jacks on a special site. If you create such a stable basis is problematic, then you can deepen the tool into the soil to increase its stability. The rise should be done as evenly as possible, ideally, if it is a simultaneous raising. It is important that the excesses do not form at this time. After the building is raised, the old base is dismantled, and a new. The technology is quite simple and the difficulties usually does not cause.
