What Are Slab Piers?

Slab piers are custom-designed foundation repair tools that provide a permanent solution for sinking slab foundations. They are tailored specifically for slabs, unlike universal fixes on the market.

Acting as robust supports, these piers become the solid pillars your home needs, transferring its weight to the deep, stable earth and preventing further settlement and instability caused by shifting soils.

Besides providing stability, slab piers may also help lift your home to its original level.

Slab piers are integral to a broader structural health strategy for your home making them crucial for the comprehensive upkeep of your property.
