Foundation Repair Methods Explained
Foundation repair is not one-size-fits-all. These are the most common methods and what they are used for.
Request a specialistPressed concrete piers
Concrete cylinders pressed into the ground under the foundation, then used to support and lift it.
Steel piers
Steel pipes driven deep under the foundation, often to firmer soil or rock, then used to support and lift.
Helical piers
Steel shafts with screw-like plates turned into the ground. Often used where lighter loads or new additions need support.
Pier and beam repairs
Re-shimming, adding or replacing piers and replacing damaged beams under homes with a crawl space. See pier and beam repair.
Drainage and moisture control
Gutters, grading and drains that keep soil moisture steady. Often part of any repair. See drainage and grading.
Ask why
A good specialist explains why they recommend a method for your home and soil, and puts it in writing.
