Foundation Stabilization (House Jacking)

Causes of your Home’s Foundation Settlement

  • Poor Drainage: One of the top causes of foundation failure. When water pools around the foundation, it can cause the soil to settle and compact or remove the soil holding the foundation (erosion).

  • Plumbing Leaks: Undetected water from a leaky pipe can enter the foundation and cause it to heave (lift up).

  • Transpiration: When tree roots remove moisture from the soil, it causes the soil to contract, shrinking the soil around a home’s foundation.

  • Site Preparation: If the soil isn’t properly compacted before building on it, it can cause the foundation to settle.

  • Evaporation: Hot and dry conditions may cause soil to pull away from the foundation.

Our Solution

At Steel and Concrete Professionals, we utilize a Steel Push Pier system for a permanent solution for your home’s settling foundation.

Push piers are designed to penetrate deep into the ground to reach stable soil layers or bedrock using hydraulic pressure.

Since they require a small hand dug hole to access the foundation, push piers can be installed with minimal disruption to your property.

Push piers, once installed, can provide permanent stabilization and support for your foundation.
