The present invention relates to a pier support system that provides for efficient and effective stabilization and lifting of foundations and structures. The present invention relates to a one-piece or one-part pier support system that provides for efficient and effective stabilization and lifting of foundations and structures. The present invention relates to methods of using one-piece of one-part pier support systems that are efficient and effective in stabilizing and lifting foundations and structures.

A support device for a premanufactured structure can include a support platform; a connector coupled to the support platform with a device fastener, the device fastener configured to adjust, upon tightening, a connector offset distance defined between the connector and the support platform; and a plurality of struts coupled to the connector and configured to be coupled to the premanufactured structure, each of the plurality of struts coupled to the connector and configured to transfer a portion of the weight of the premanufactured structure to the support platform via the connector.

Methods of lifting structures such as a wall of a building. A fluid that is under pressure is injected beneath the base of the wall. The pressure of the injected fluid acts against the base of the wall to lift the wall vertically. In some embodiments, a supplemental lifting force mechanism can be attached to the wall to apply a supplemental lifting force to the wall that acts together with the lifting force applied by the injected fluid. The supplemental lifting force lightens the wall, reducing the amount of lifting force required to be applied to the wall by the injected fluid.

A mobile home anchoring system includes one or more beams extending from a first end to a second end, the one or more beams to provide structural support to a mobile home; a cable system having one or more points of contact to secure the cable to the one or more beams; a pipe embedded under a ground surface; and a concrete casing surrounding at least a portion of the pipe under the ground surface; the cable system extends into the pipe and is secured within the pipe; the cable system, pipe, and concrete casing provide for anchoring to the one or more beams to provide anchoring to the mobile home.

An alignment system, a trailer frame alignment system and a method of aligning a trailer frame upon a foundation, the system including a foundation having at least three contiguous vertical walls, a trailer frame guide system including a pair of opposing guides on corresponding opposing walls of the at least three contiguous vertical walls, and a stop guide on the other of the at least three vertical walls between the corresponding opposing walls. The pair of opposing guides on the corresponding opposing walls include a tapered portion having a first distance defined between the pair of opposing guides at distal ends of the pair of opposing guides from the stop guide, the first distance being greater than a second distance defined between the pair of opposing guides between the distal ends of the pair of opposing guides and the stop guide.

A concentrically loaded foundation pier system which includes several concentrically stacked steel pipes filled with concrete. The entire pier is installed centrally beneath the footing of the structure. Shims are placed between the top-most pier element and a pier cap which prevents shifting when the soil expands and contracts. The final structure is end-loaded and pressed to the bedrock or other load-bearing strata. An alternative embodiment includes a temporary lifting assembly which can be fastened about the structural pier without need for bolts or other fasteners.
