What is a Push Pier?

A rendering of a concentric push pier - one of the types of push piers we offer.

Push piers are often called "resistance piers" and are an excellent foundation repair solution for foundations that are settling. Push piers are driven deep into the soil to lift and support foundations that are weakened over time due to settlement due to shifting or uncompacted soil beneath a structure. They are a permanent foundation repair solution for both residential homes and businesses.

How do I know if push piers are the right foundation solution for me?

Every foundation settlement issue is different. Settlement can occur over time when soil shifts or moves. Some causes of foundation settlement include:

Poor construction
Old foundation building methods
Changes in weather (extreme dry condtions or wet conditions)
Poorly compacted soil beneath the foundation
Expansive soil like clay that expand and contract
Tree Roots and other vegatation changing soil conditions
Seismic activity

We always recommend a foundation inspection by a professional to determine if push piers are the right solution for your home or business. We also will recommend the right number of push piers based on the severity of the foundation settlement, the size of the structure, and other factors.
