There are several Key Factors that are part of a successful and QUALITY house elevation. One of the most overlooked is the Underground Support for the House Elevation. This is important because the house needs greater stability than before – it could be as much as 15 feet higher. Without a doubt the Bell Bottom Pier is the best solution for underground support. Compared to the basic pushed pile, it is far stronger, capable of bearing 5 – 20 times more weight, and has a very large footprint for stability (13 times larger than pushed piles). You can read more about the comparison of Bell Bottom Piers on our Comparison of Foundation Methods page.
