Default OT Leveling a house

Video Description:

"we live in south east Louisiana where the houses require
pilings in order to support the foundation. Our house has 90ish piles
and after 50-60 years has started to settle and lose level. We've
hired a company to push our piles down to refusal, which in our case
is between 30 and 40' per pile, and then level our house."

@ between "30 and 40' per pile". It must be painful.

Most people use a bulldozer to level a house.
