Sinking Foundations & Foundation Piers

To take care of your sinking foundation & settling home, we can install a series of foundation piers from Grip-Tite®. We offer helical piers, push piers, and slab piers. The type of pier we install will depend on what kind of problem your home is experiencing and what we think will be the best solution. Regardless of which type of pier is chosen for your home, they can all be installed quickly and without much digging in your yard. We will do our best to make sure that we aren’t tracking dirt all over your property or through your family’s home!

These foundation piers will be able to transfer the weight of your sinking home off the foundation and onto the piers themselves. Over time, this will help to raise your home back to where it needs to be.

Please feel free to call us for more information about foundation settlement repair, or to schedule a consultation. We look forward to talking with you soon!
