Who You Are Actually Talking To
Chris co-owns Imperial Foundation Repair with Taylor Yates and runs the side of the business that happens in the dirt. Pier installations, tunneling, concrete work, and drainage all go through him.
He is the reason a crew shows up in a marked truck, digs clean access, and puts the yard back the way they found it. On commercial jobs he is the one staging the work so the building can keep operating while a pier line goes in.
When he writes here, it is about how the work is actually performed: what a pier lands on, why depth matters, and what separates a repair that holds from one that gets redone in five years.
A pier is only as good as what it lands on. That is the whole job right there.

Repair methods
Pier and Beam vs Slab Repair
Two very different houses, two very different repairs. Knowing which one you own changes the whole conversation.
Drainage
French Drain or Piers?
One of these costs a fraction of the other. The readings tell you which conversation you are in.
