Push piers are a type of foundation repair solution that is designed to stabilize and lift settling or sinking foundations. They are made up of steel tubes that are driven into the ground beneath your foundation, with a machine that has a great amount of force, until they reach stable soil or bedrock. Once they reach this stable layer, the weight of the foundation is transferred from the unstable soil to the piers, which can support the weight of the foundation more effectively.
When a foundation is dug out and poured, the removed soil is replaced as a backfill. Unfortunately, this process can weaken the soil around the foundation and eventually lead to problems. For many homeowners, this is an unknown source of trouble. At Keystone Basement Systems, we can identify soil issues around your home and prevent them from causing further issues with your foundation.
