The Job Site: Boxing

Before the boxing and digging begin, a 15 to 18 foot soil test is performed to determine the correct depth for your new bell bottom piers. It is imperative that these piers are secured in stable soil and in the proper locations. Each pier location is carefully marked off and a hole is created deep enough for motorized drills to be brought in. If piers must be placed in the interior of the home, special care is taken to avoid unnecessary damage or mess.
