Slab Piers

What Are Slab Piers? 

Slab piers are foundation repair elements that permanently stabilize settling slab foundations. Distinct from ordinary repair alternatives, slab pier systems are a permanent solution that stabilizes and potentially lifts your foundation without requiring excessive excavation.  

These piers function as stable columns that distribute your home’s weight to more stable ground, preventing further settling and defending against unstable soil conditions. Slab piers also serve a pivotal role in a broader strategy to maintain the structural health of your home, including methods such as basement waterproofing and crawl space repair.

What sets slab piers apart from other foundation repair solutions?

Can slab piers help in improving the overall value of my property?
