Re-leveling Existing Structures
Underpinning is the drilling or installing of new piers after the structure has been re-leveled and returned to its approximate original constructed position, including the abandoning of the original piers under the structure. 
Foundation Repairs - Reinforce foundation walls (Sister walls)
A foundation sister wall is designed to reinforce the structure's existing failing foundation wall. In this design "all thread" bolts are drilled through the existing wall to provide lateral support. Steel plates are installed to provide more support for the "all thread". The wall is formed using standard plywood forming method with the "all thread" penetrating through the forms providing lateral support for the form.
