Apparatus and method for lifting building foundations
A lift bracket system for lifting a building structure such as a foundation and the like comprising a lift plate having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface for insertion under the building structure; a generally cylindrical housing affixed to the lift plate and extending perpendicularly from the top surface and the bottom surface of the lift plate, the housing defining a generally circular opening through the lift plate, the opening being disposed away from the center of the lift plate; and at least one gusset for supporting the lift plate, the gusset having a first end and a second end, the gusset disposed beneath the lift plate, wherein the first end of the gusset is attached to the bottom surface of the lift plate and the second end of the gusset is attached to the housing.
Improved couplers for a building foundation support system include helical ribs and helical grooves in combination with an integrated spring retainer element that automatically snaps into place as the couplers are engaged. Rotational and axial interlocking attachment of support piles is therefore possible without utilizing separately provided fasteners such as bolts.

A modular foundation support system comprises a shaft with opposing distal ends and a coupler extending on one of the opposing distal ends. The coupler comprises a hollow body having a non-uniform wall thickness and a round inner surface. The round inner surface includes: an open-ended first section having a first axial length, a first wall thickness, and a first uniform inner diameter extending along the first axial length. The first uniform inner diameter is sized to receive a distal end of a second shaft. A second section has a second axial length and is formed with a seating surface for the distal end of the second shaft and with a second wall thickness that is different from the first wall thickness. The second section includes a second uniform inner diameter smaller than the first unform inner diameter and an axial length that is less than the first axial length.
