ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for lifting and supporting the foundation of a structure employs a pier anchored into the ground adjacent to the foundation, a support assembly attached to the upper end of the pier, and a lifting assembly that can be removably seated over the base of the support assembly. The support assembly includes a support bracket for engaging the foundation, and at least two threaded rods with nuts for adjustably controlling the vertical distance between the base and the support bracket on the rods. The lifting assembly is removably seated over the base of the support assembly between the rods, and has side members extending laterally outward beyond the support bracket for supporting jacks to lift the foundation.
