Our house was sinking on one corner which was causing cracks to develop in both exterior and interior walls. We prefer our house without cracks so we knew we had to install a foundation pier to stop the movement. Since the sinking was minor and we believe it was due to the dry soil contracting (rather than permanent, large scale movement of soil), we installed a single foundation pier. The pier brought our foundation back to level and the cracks which were developing in our walls have closed back up. We will be monitoring our foundation closely to determine if additional piers are necessary.
