Push Piers

A home should be built on firm ground, strong enough to maintain structural integrity and to ensure the safety of your loved ones. However, when a foundation begins to settle, it jeopardizes your entire home.

Don’t ignore warning signs like cracks in the drywall or windows and doors that stick. At Alpha Foundations, we have a solution.

Alpha Foundations’ push piers are engineered to permanently stabilize and even elevate your home’s foundation. As a leading name in foundation repair, we offer complete services to make your home a secure place to live.

This page outlines what push piers are, their necessity, and the reasons to select our specialized products and services.

What Are Push Piers?

Push piers are sturdy steel supports that are mechanically driven into the earth beneath your home’s foundation. These supports are anchored deep below the surface, avoiding unstable soils and making contact with solid bedrock or load-bearing strata to provide a secure base for your home.

Push piers work seamlessly alongside other home repair techniques like concrete lifting or crawl space encapsulation. We offer these services as part of an all-inclusive repair solution for your home, ensuring it maintains long-lasting structural soundness!

Signs You Need Push Piers

You might require push piers if you notice obvious indicators of foundation settling, such as:

Ignoring these red flags can worsen the issue and lead to more expensive repairs. It’s crucial to consult a local expert like Alpha Foundations to mitigate further damage.

Push piers aren’t the only fix for settling foundations. Alpha Foundations also provides different types of pier systems—like helical and slab piers—that may be more suitable for your specific needs. Our experts will assess your situation during a complimentary inspection.
