Thank you for an exceptional job done by your crew repairing our foundation.

The craftsmanship and care you all exercised was apparent and appreciated. My wife and I were prepared to deal with much less than you delivered, but what we got instead was a pleasant surprise. Should your company ever require a job reference you may feel free to list as satisfied customers or have prospective clients call us to discuss the job done here.

Do You Need Power Jack

The pier is designed, engineered, manufactured and installed by Power Jack. This gives us control over the quality of the pier and the cost at which we can provide it to the customer.
The Power Jack Bracket is the strongest in the business. It utilizes a 3/4" steel plate as its base, as opposed to the thinner steel used by the competition. This results in less flex on the grade beam of the home during installation.
Power Jack utilizes its Revolutionary Bracket Cradle System. The Power Jack Pier cradles your home as opposed to being bolted to it. Using a high intensity Fusion Weld, the pier is not reliant on a few bolts to hold up your home. Instead, the Power Jack Pier supports the house permanently from underneath, supporting the weight with its own strength.
Power Jack has its 3-foot guide tube attached permanently to the bracket. This guarantees the integrity of the pier throughout installations. Other companies use a separate guide sleeve to install their piers. These companies fail to protect the pier at its most important time, called "the moment". This term refers to the point at which the installed load is transferred from the guide tube to the pier stem.
Power Jack uses only the highest quality materials. Power Jack uses only J-55 or N-80 steel casing for its pier sections. Other steel pier companies use either Scheduled-40 maverick welded tube (inherently weak in the seam) or acid flushed steel (aged/deteriorated steel sent back from overseas). These are clearly inferior. Some companies try to cover up their substandard materials by painting them. The paint will not help support your home.
Power Jack uses a 30" section of pipe with an 8" connector between each section. Competitors use a five-foot section of pipe with a 6" connector. Our system allows for a total of 16" of connection over 5 feet of pier as opposed to 12" for the competition. This gives Power Jack a stronger pier.
To achieve optimal pier depth, the Power Jack Steel Pier is open-ended as it penetrates the earth to rock. This allows for the proper soil displacement to occur so that the pier can penetrate as deep as necessary. Some competitors cap the penetrating end of the pier. This results in soil compaction, reducing the ability of the pier to fully penetrate to its optimal depth. At the same time, the capped piers also increase the possibility of pier deflection, further undermining the integrity of the pier.
The Exclusive Power Jack Steel Pier Driving Method is superior to any pier installation method on the market. Utilizing 70,000 PSI of driving force, the Power Jack is able to penetrate deeper than any other pier system. By exerting pressure from the top as opposed to using grippers to pull from the sides, Power Jack is able to get a deeper driven pier with less deflection than the competition.
The Power Jack Driving Tower attaches directly to the pier bracket. This makes the installation process comparable to the pulling on of a boot by the boot straps. The result is less flex of the grade beam, which in turn results in less damage to the home.
Power Jack uses a process called Sequential Lifting to return the home to as close to its original position as possible. This process utilizes independent lifting units for a precisely controlled lift. This system is far superior to the "one size fits all" manifold lifting methods used by the competition.
