Lifting a Sinking House in California - NorCal Ram Jack Installs (52) Helical Piles to Raise a House that had Settlement Issues for Years
When faced with a foundation challenge in the sinking soils of California’s Delta region, NorCal Ram Jack went above and beyond to provide a long-lasting solution. For years, a homeowner had been battling foundation issues caused by decomposing organic matter beneath their property, requiring repairs every 10-15 years. Enter NorCal Ram Jack, who expertly installed 52 helical piles to depths of up to 49 feet.
Working with detailed reports from the US Geological Survey and other engineers, NorCal Ram Jack replaced the failing foundation with a deep, stable helical system that will outlast the continually sinking landscape. Despite navigating complex approvals from government agencies like FEMA and the flood control board, their team’s expertise ensured a seamless installation.
