Push Piers

The foundation of your home is its bedrock, crucial for structural soundness and the safety of your loved ones. When the foundation begins to settle, it threatens everything built upon it.

Don’t delay addressing issues such as cracks in your drywall or doors that won’t close properly. These are common problems for many homeowners in the region, but solutions are available.

Bay Area Underpinning’s SettleStop Push Piers not only stabilize but potentially lift your foundation to its original position, offering a permanent solution. We are recognized for our expertise in foundation repair and are dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of your home.

This page will explain what push piers are, their importance, and how our services can benefit your home.

What Are Push Piers?

Push Piers are durable steel supports installed underneath your foundation. They are driven deep into the earth, passing through less stable soil layers, to anchor your home to solid bedrock or stable soil, ensuring a stable support for your home.

These supports are also known as resistance piers due to their method of installation, which involves driving them down to a resistance point.

Serving as part of a larger whole-home strategy, push piers work alongside other methods of foundation, crawl space, and concrete repair to offer a complete solution. This approach secures your home’s structural integrity for years to come.

Signs You Need Push Piers

There are common indicators that suggest the need for push piers, such as:

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to increasingly severe and expensive repairs down the line. It’s crucial to consult with a foundation repair specialist like Bay Area Underpinning to avoid further damage.

Are Push Piers Necessary?

Yes, they are essential. Postponing foundation repair can make the situation worse, culminating in more significant, costlier damages.

Push piers are vital in our approach to stabilize your foundation and potentially restore its original level position. Acting quickly can spare you unnecessary expense and anxiety.

Although push piers are a significant component of foundation settlement solutions, Bay Area Underpinning also provides alternative systems—like helical and slab piers—which may be better suited to certain homes. A free inspection will help our specialists decide the best course of action for your case.
